The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It’s the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.
— Audrey Hepburn (via dancingoncl0uds)
Sometimes, loving your body is not an option. Sometimes, the best we can do is accept our bodies as the changeable, beautiful, frustrating vessels they are. That’s OK. Expecting yourself to have a full-on love affair with your body at all times is asking too much. Bodies are occasionally annoying. What we can do is know them, and decide for ourselves when they feel good, and when they feel less good, and what we might do to make them feel better again. Even if we can’t love our bodies, we can make sure we don’t hate them.

I saw this on pinterest and it caught my eye. Sometimes I fall into this disordered type of thinking where I am convinced everything will be better if I just lose weight and look the way I did when I was very disordered and restrictive. I almost always realize that this thinking is completely wrong. I was never fully satisfied with myself at any weight (and trust me I’ve been at many different weights..). It has taken a while, but i’m finally starting to realize that controlling my weight does not make me like myself more. Sure, when I was skinny I felt better about how I fit into clothes, but I was also obsessed with my weight and terrified of gaining an ounce… that is no way to live.
I’m choosing to love myself today.

why i love it: because it’s me.
This is an adorable picture.
A girl doesnt need to have a big butt or big boobs to be beautiful
At least that how i see it. Im not a booty guy or a booby guy. Im a beauty guy.
i appreciate the movement and the general idea, but what about us smaller-figured women? i feel like so many people are trying to take care of the "curvy" women, but i get put down and degraded because i am a size zero. i have been small my whole life, but people consistently tell me i should "eat more" or "be ashamed" i constantly have to battle for respect just because i am not a size eight or ten. &that's not fair either. i just wish more people thought about it.
I feel you... I've gotten the "you're too thin" as well.
It's not that we're trying to "take care" of curvy women. This is supposed to be a blog where everyone can come and appreciate beautiful bodies of all sizes! I will make sure to post more pictures of thin girls, because you do bring up a good point, and I've gone through that too... I guess I just never thought about how it affected other girls. Thank you so much for the ask! :)
So I'm a boy, and I have MAJOR body image issues, and this blog really has helped me :) I've recently admitted to myself that I'm not as fat as I would make myself believe. But thank you :)
Aww, yay! I'm glad we could help. :)
True beauty is not related to what colour your hair is or what colour your eyes are. True beauty is about who you are as a human being, your principles, your moral compass.
Ellen Degeneres (via storyy-of-my-effing-life)
J.K. Rowling speaks the truth.
So, being the huge Harry Potter fan that I am, it should be expected that I browse J.k. Rolwing’s official website every now and then. Not only have I discovered that she is, in fact, a Christian, but that she also is an advocate for change in the perception of beauty in society.
Just read this:
For Girls Only, Probably…
Being thin. Probably not a subject that you ever expected to read about on this website, but my recent trip to London got me thinking… It started in the car on the way to Leavesden film studios. I whiled away part of the journey reading a magazine that featured several glossy photographs of a very young woman who is either seriously ill or suffering from an eating disorder (which is, of course, the same thing); anyway, there is no other explanation for the shape of her body. She can talk about eating absolutely loads, being terribly busy and having the world’s fastest metabolism until her tongue drops off (hooray! Another couple of ounces gone!), but her concave stomach, protruding ribs and stick-like arms tell a different story. This girl needs help, but, the world being what it is, they’re sticking her on magazine covers instead. All this passed through my mind as I read the interview, then I threw the horrible thing aside. But blow me down if the subject of girls and thinness didn’t crop up shortly after I got out of the car. I was talking to one of the actors and, somehow or other, we got onto the subject of a girl he knows (not any of the Potter actresses – somebody from his life beyond the films) who had been dubbed ‘fat’ by certain charming classmates. (Could they possibly be jealous that she knows the boy in question? Surely not!) ‘But,’ said the actor, in honest perplexity, ‘she is really not fat.’ ‘“Fat” is usually the first insult a girl throws at another girl when she wants to hurt her,’ I said; I could remember it happening when I was at school, and witnessing it among the teenagers I used to teach. Nevertheless, I could see that to him, a well-adjusted male, it was utterly bizarre behaviour, like yelling ‘thicko!’ at Stephen Hawking. His bemusement at this everyday feature of female existence reminded me how strange and sick the ‘fat’ insult is. I mean, is ‘fat’ really the worst thing a human being can be? Is ‘fat’ worse than ‘vindictive’, ‘jealous’, ‘shallow’, ‘vain’, ‘boring’ or ‘cruel’? Not to me; but then, you might retort, what do I know about the pressure to be skinny? I’m not in the business of being judged on my looks, what with being a writer and earning my living by using my brain… I went to the British Book Awards that evening. After the award ceremony I bumped into a woman I hadn’t seen for nearly three years. The first thing she said to me? ‘You’ve lost a lot of weight since the last time I saw you!’ ‘Well,’ I said, slightly nonplussed, ‘the last time you saw me I’d just had a baby.’ What I felt like saying was, ‘I’ve produced my third child and my sixth novel since I last saw you. Aren’t either of those things more important, more interesting, than my size?’ But no – my waist looked smaller! Forget the kid and the book: finally, something to celebrate! So the issue of size and women was (ha, ha) weighing on my mind as I flew home to Edinburgh the next day. Once up in the air, I opened a newspaper and my eyes fell, immediately, on an article about the pop star Pink. Her latest single, ‘Stupid Girls’, is the antidote-anthem for everything I had been thinking about women and thinness. ‘Stupid Girls’ satirises the talking toothpicks held up to girls as role models: those celebrities whose greatest achievement is un-chipped nail polish, whose only aspiration seems to be getting photographed in a different outfit nine times a day, whose only function in the world appears to be supporting the trade in overpriced handbags and rat-sized dogs. Maybe all this seems funny, or trivial, but it’s really not. It’s about what girls want to be, what they’re told they should be, and how they feel about who they are. I’ve got two daughters who will have to make their way in this skinny-obsessed world, and it worries me, because I don’t want them to be empty-headed, self-obsessed, emaciated clones; I’d rather they were independent, interesting, idealistic, kind, opinionated, original, funny – a thousand things, before ‘thin’. And frankly, I’d rather they didn’t give a gust of stinking chihuahua flatulence whether the woman standing next to them has fleshier knees than they do. Let my girls be Hermiones, rather than Pansy Parkinsons. Let them never be Stupid Girls. Rant over.

Bravo J.K, Bravo.
Do we seriously need another reason to love her???
Truthful Tuesday
I don’t have a personal trainer or chef. I don’t have access to weight loss drugs or plastic surgery. I don’t have someone who can airbrush all my flaws out of a photo.
The state of my abdomen can’t be attributed to something as beautiful as pregnancy, but is the ugly result of a gnarly stomach surgery combined with an emotional dependence on food.
What I do have is pride that even though it’s one of my biggest sources of insecurity and is about as far from perfect as you can get, my stomach (and body in general) are evidence of where I’ve been and how far I’ve come.
So you go ahead and pose for magazines with your allegedly plastic surgery free tummy, Mariah Carey. But you’ll never be an inspiration to me because your “struggle” is something I can’t relate to.
I’m working on being my own success story. The hard way.
:) That last line, though, is pure inspiration!

there is nothing wrong with my body.
there is nothing wrong with how i was made.
there is nothing wrong with how i look.
there is nothing wrong with how i feel.
i am proud to be in my body.

Wow - I never realized this before.. What an interesting article. It’s so true. Most Latina or Black women showcased in media are physically “whitewashed”. I think regardless of race, all the women in media are photoshopped to the bone - so it’s semi-pointless to showcase women with “culture-specific beauty” if they will still be photo-shopped and thinned. Nevertheless, it’s one step in the right direction.

Saw this and it made me smile. :)

This is what real womens bodies look like. People need to have Respect, dont go around telling women they need to gain or lose weight and dont assume because she has a body she must be a whore. If you think a woman should be perfect and flawless you are a idiot!
Ladies Love what you have! You have to accept yourself before anyone else can accept you! This is me, i just took these as i undressed for bed. My weight is predominantly in my breast hips ass and I have thick arms =/…. but hey i wont let that stop me from being happy or having what i want ;) if you cant accept me as i am the F*** You. Besides.. you cant please everyone ;)
^^ You're amazing. I know so many people who would kill to have your shape... it's beautiful! :)
