The body acceptance movement has kicked it into high gear lately. Lane Bryant’s, I’m No Angel campaign is currently buzzing + trending + telling us that…
…sexy comes in all shapes and sizes.
So we look at ourselves in the mirror – trying to conjure up love + acceptance + sexiness.
And when we can’t – we feel like shit.
Guess what? Accepting your body is hard. Really freaking hard.
We’ve been bombarded with images of what an ideal body is supposed to look like our whole lives.
Even the I’m No Angel models are suspiciously cellulite, stretch mark and imperfection free.
Nice try Lane Bryant.
Listen, I’m never going to look like Sofia Vergara – and neither are you.
But that doesn’t mean we have to feel like crap day after day or give up on ourselves. We just have to let go of this idea of perfection – and take care of ourselves anyway.
Wear the gorgeous sleeveless dress – even though your arms are flabby.
Show up for the Zumba class NOW – not 50 pounds from now.
Meringue those curves like a boss!
You’ll never be perfect.
If you keep waiting for that day to come, you’ll spend your whole life waiting and wishing and wanting.
Not loving what you see in the mirror?
Screw it!
Go and rock out your life anyway.
