Skinny Girl Problems

Welcome to the campaign to end skinny shaming, and to ultimately end the body war between women. We do not look like the girls in the magazines; they are ageless, flawless, plastic dolls made to sell perfection - they simply wear my size. I do not flick a page of Vogue to instantly gain confidence as I am just an everyday human being. The thin body is pervasively objectified as a canvas, a coat hanger, and that is not love, its a job. Body objectification and idealisation does not equal acceptance. This is a safe space to share and express and a place where we can all come together in the movement to raise awareness about society's detrimental view on women's body image in general. We aim to eradicate the superficiality, double standards and ignorance in society - towards our young girls and women and to nurture self-love and acceptance, not from the male perspective, but from ourselves. We come in different body shapes, sizes and types and rather than being pitted against each other, we should embrace each other. Acknowledging thin struggles does not reduce fat struggles. Another woman's struggles is not the absence of your own and another woman's beauty is not the absence of your own. ♥ Follow and add to the #skinnypositive tag. I promote body positivity for each and every body type, as should be.

IT’S FINALLY HERE!

THE ‘ULTIMATE GUIDE TO PRACTICAL BODY POSITIVITY’ PRACTICAL HANDBOOK [DOWNLOADABLE]

Following my secret announcement last year, I took a short break and I am proud to launch my handbook on how to practice body positivity and begin the journey of body love. I have been writing on the skinnygirlproblems for over 3 years now and it has given me the priviledged window to receive 1,000s of messages from women and girls all over the world. Messages that are relatable, and deeply express the internal struggles of being skinny, or of loving their bodies, and being confident in themselves as well as the external struggles of dealing with society, family members and friends.

I am running out of space on this blog to categorise all the issue, but I am thankful that I can continue to run this blog, and know that even you guys are able to send me messages of your body successes, goals and achievements so that we can support one another! Whether you’re skinny, big, muscular, tall, or short - body positivity and self-love are all things we deserve.

Writing this has been a passion project, and I hope it contributes to women coming together to unify. I hope that this will be a blessing to all of you, especially those who have reached out to me over the years with questions and to offer advice. You inspired me to do this!

Watch: Danielle Brooks just gave the most heartfelt speech about what it’s like to finally see your body represented in the media

And that’s the vision: As Brooks wrote, “Editors, we want to be seen. Designers, we want to be dressed. Retailers, we want options. Women, we must do this together.”

advice for the new year:  1. Talk less. Do more. The fewer people that know your plans, dreams, business, the better. Move silently, and let your actions speak for u 2. Work harder than u ever have before, to get to where you’ve never been. You have to commit and overly dedicate yourself to your goals. 3. Miss out on the random turn ups. Less online “link ups”. Put your phone down & Surround yourself with people who genuinely care for you. 4. Respect yourself. That way people know you don’t tolerate disrespect and no one can come in thinking they can play with you & yours. 5. Eliminate the desire of wanting to rekindle old flames. What’s out, is out. Continue Moving forward. 6. Don’t allow yourself to be a “convenience” to anyone. Let go of anyone who only comes to you, needs you or wants you, on their own time. 7. Protect your dreams goals and desires. Nurture them with positive energy. All things are possible when you truly believe in YOU. 8. Your assignment from God is yours, only. Don’t let anyone question your purpose, persuade you to give up, or make you feel inadequate. 9. Procrastination doesn’t make success. Excuses don’t make success. Ambition does. Hunger does. Commitment does. You want it? Go get it. 10. You matter. Stop doubting that. You’re amazing. Stop questioning that. Stop giving people the power to treat you like you mean nothing.

Loving yourself is not (necessarily):

Thinking you’re gorgeous

Not wanting to change anything about your body, personality, or life

Loving yourself is:

Knowing you have inherent worth regardless of your physical appearance or life circumstance

Knowing you deserve good things

Wanting to take care of yourself because you deserve good things

How beautiful it is to be yourself. to love your roots. in every season without wanting to be anyone else but your authentic self. without waiting for anyone to water your petals. How glorious it is to face yourself every morning. even at your darkest hour when the sun hasn’t risen, you stand still and tall. How beautiful it is to know that one day you’ll blossom. you’ll become. everything they doubted and never expected you to be. How beautiful it is to want yourself. to think about yourself. Darling, it isn’t selfish to remember yourself. to take care of yourself because ain’t nobody gonna do that for you.
