LOUD! About Positive Body Image

from LOUD! Hosted by Natalia

Society is obsessed with physical appearance. Thanks to subtle (and not-so-subtle) marketing tactics over time, we are trained to associate happiness with hotness. Unattainable beauty standards, unrealistic fitness trends and unsustainable diets illuminated by entertainment and social media have been proven passé amidst the body positive movement. However, despite its positive intentions, this movement comes with its own set of toxic traits. Celebrating all body shapes and sizes is great and all, but doesn’t that eclipse the reasons why people hate their bodies in the first place? This week I dive into the differences between being body positive and having positive body image. I share some of my personal challenges with self-acceptance and tools that have worked in improving my own relationship with my body. It’s not about learning to love your body but about reaching contentment with it—on your own terms. Special thanks to Cori for the edits.
