Hi. I'm Juliette, and this is me reclaiming my body. I'm learning to love every part of me. I'm overweight, and I'm not in any way conventionally beautiful.
But I'm here to say, I love myself, and I love my body, it's not perfect, but it is mine. [x]
Because, I'm learning to love myself, I accept and respect my body, and I will get help for my eating disorder.
I accept my thighs, my stretch marks, my tiny eyes, my very annoyingly large chest, and my little feet. They are part of me.
I am allowed to feel cute. That is not a right reserved for other people.
Everyone is beautiful. I'm reclaiming my body, every single beautiful pound of it. It's hard, and sometimes I cannot even look at myself. But, above all, it is not how I look that determines me, it is my thoughts, my actions, and my heart.
You are made up of the world's wonders, the mysteries of the world are in you. Every single atom in you holds the secrets and grandeur of the universe. You are made for more than punishing yourself and distorting your image, you are made to reflect beauty. You are a mystery hiding behind the beautiful masks of the world.
You are more than any number or statistic.
You are a wonder of the world!
You are Child of God! (If you are so inclined to believe so!)
We are beautiful, it is time to embrace ourselves.
