body image

My only regret is that I wasted nearly 40 years trying to bend my chronically ill body to an imaginary idea of perfection.

I don’t have a so-called “unruly body,” as Gay calls it. Therefore, my body still plays by the societal rules and meets the expectations of what a woman “should” look like.

We are always evolving and learning because we believe that’s the best way to live.

I can't make you stop texting, but I CAN call you out.

Some days I feel like a Botticelli, some days I feel like a sexy, dumpy baby. Even when I am naked, my frame of reference is limited. I have not seen too many positive, mainstream depictions of bodies like mine.

Yeah, no. No one wants their bottle of body wash to look like their actual body.

Just like everyone else’s on that beach, my body was just a body. I didn’t even have to love it, but I didn’t have my fear of it control my life, either.

Beauty and body fat percentage are not mutually exclusive.
