We love some data! 💅🏻⁣
⁣
This week is all about reflecting on our body image, where did it come from, what effected our self image growing up, how much of our self image + body image is taught from our environments, media, experiences, generational trauma, etc. ⁣
⁣
I asked on my IG stories, what was the conversation around body image in your households? SO many of you shared experiences of dieting or being put on diets growing up, with thinness being the ultimate goal. ⁣
⁣
Growing up I had SO much shame around being put on diets around 6 or 7. It’s interesting to revisit that as an adult and even more interesting to discuss with my parents now. So much of my self worth was tied into my body image, with ideals that I had formed at a young age. For myself, I had to release anger + shame and unlearn these “truths” that I had let rule my life. I had let media, my family, kids, heresy....dictate how I viewed myself. I learned that was baggage that wasn’t even about me. When I found the fat positive community online, I had so many *ah* moments because we all have such similar experiences.....yet I had felt so alone in my experience for most of my life. ⁣
⁣
I share data to say, our experiences are valid and backed by research. We are not making it up or my favorite “being too dramatic”. There is rampant fatphobia in our culture and a billion dollar diet industry is profiting. ⁣

Morning mood! ⚡️👏 lets be honest life has been *dreamgirls* heavy, heavy. I don’t know if I’ve ever experienced anxieties like I have been for the last few months. My body straight up needs to dance lol, to disco, to anything tbqh, just to move joyfully. So kitchen dance parties in my new favorite robe, are now important parts of my day ✨ Robe from @torrid #BEinyourskin #fatbabe #whatfatgirlsactuallywear

We’re having this conversation on Twitter and I thought I would also share here. I had NO idea so many folxs were having similar experiences and that breaks my heart tbqh 💔 I can understand if a certain photoshoot or style doesn’t fit a feed aesthetic but not featuring a diverse cliental will never make sense to me....

#BEinyourskin Week 1 💅🏻 REFLECT ⁣~ full blog post up!
⁣
My mom said to me once, “how long are you going to tell yourself that story?” That really struck me.....What stories am I telling myself? What stories am I telling myself that aren’t even about me? What stories did I take on from elsewhere, that I allowed to have so much power over me?! How did my my mom’s body image effect, my body image? How did my grandma’s body image, effect my mom and so on?? ⁣
⁣
We are consistently taking messaging that isnt even about us. We are taking in societies messaging, allowing our self worth to be effected, when ultimately it’s a tactic to sell products to us. I’m wanting us to dig deeper, so we’re actively able to deceiver and choose not to internalize messaging that doesn’t align or support our best self! ⁣
⁣
So I ask you this week, to reflect on what stories make up your self image? Are they empowering you or holding you back? Let’s get into it! ⚡️#BEinyourskin #reflect
