Every Body Is Beautiful!
And Yes, My Friend, That Means YOUR Body Is BEAUTIFUL Too!
There's a body positivity movement taking the world by storm...
Body positivity is a social movement focused on the acceptance of all bodies, regardless of size, shape, skin tone, gender, and physical abilities, while challenging present-day beauty standards as an undesirable social construct. Proponents focus on the appreciation of the functionality and health of the human body, instead of its physiological appearance. -Wikipedia
More and more women embracing themselves... curves and all. They are saying #effyourbeautystandards and #effyourbodystandards to society, Hollywood, and anyone else that says you have to look a certain way to fit in and be accepted.
What would it feel like to look at your body with love?
I had no idea there was such a thing as this movement until several years ago! Because a body positive Yoga instructor introduced me to it, my life has changed!
She said something very profound to me during my very first class:
"You have permission to take up space just as you are. Fat and all!"
Up until then I was always making excuses for taking up "too much space". I was conditioned to believe from a very young age that it wasn't acceptable to be fat and I was taking up too much space!
So those words were exactly what I needed to hear!
I now boldly, confidently, and most importantly, UNAPOLOGETICALLY, take up space just as I am... FAT and all!

About the Author
Most of my life I lived behind a mask, pretending to be someone I wasn’t. I was screaming on the inside... and my actions proved I didn't love myself or believe I deserved more than the 'hand that life dealt me'. Today, now into my 40's, I'm living a life beyond my wildest imagination. A life full of confidence, self-love, and most of all possibilities. :-)
