EveryBODY is beautiful

Check out this video before you continue. Go ahead, I'll wait...

Now, go get a tissue. Because if you're anything like me, you've got at least one tear in your eye.

Next, think of a word YOU would use to describe your body. Is it positive? Or negative?

I choose strong. Because no matter what is going on in my life, or how I feel about my body, it has always been strong. Even when my muscles were weakened by months of chemotherapy, my body was still strong enough to carry on and fight the cancer and fight the side effects.

I'm not disgusting, gross, or lumpy. I am strong, soft, and flexible. We need to rethink our narratives. How we see ourselves is how our children will learn to see themselves. We need to learn to see the positives, even if we only start small. Because when you look in the mirror and actively look for things you're happy about, you start thinking less about things you don't like, and the more frequently you do it, the more good things you'll see.

Try it. Because you're beautiful.
