#CelluliteSummer with @allisonkimmey: 'Raising kids to have a positive body image is a preventative measure. Much like teaching them about nutritious foods and moving your body, it's something that if they learn at an early age, they won't have to reverse and recover from later in life, or at the very least, will provide them with more resiliency. ___________ •By the age of 5 kids begin comparing their bodies. •By elementary school, 40% of girls want to be thinner. •At 9 years old over half of girls are consistently on diets. •69% of elementary girls compare themselves to models in magazines as the ideal body shape. 🔊And that's not even getting into the effects of the most toxic environment for body image: social media, where on average 8-18 year olds spend over 6 hours a day on.🔊 ________________ Providing a supportive environment for our children, one where we focus on how we want to feel, encouraging healthful activities without a focus on weightloss, opening up discerning conversations about the realities of main stream media and manipulation, including mind and soul into a holistic picture of health NOT JUST PHYSICAL and allowing them to see diversity in people, bodies, abilities:::::: THAT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY It's time to say "I'm done perpetuating this ridiculous body ideal" and pave the way for our young girls and women (and boys!!!) to know what's REAL and that being YOU is all they have to do to be acceptable and worthy. Just because it's the way it's always been done, doesn't mean we don't have a choice in the matter. And I choose to change this for my children and their children and every other young person that has an uphill battle to embracing themselves just by simply existing. _______ We owe it to them. Double tap if you are with me ❣️ Just do you babes!

#goodnight from @theericalauren: 'Intensely staring into the sun in a high-cut swim suit kinda day - unbothered and unedited. ✨😉 . . In @debshops 👙, for @_the_b_word_ 😉, by @hamnswiss 📸 #beinyourskin #debshops #baewatch . To be 💯tho ....I was not at all "unbothered" - I was so nervous wearing a suit like this. 😳😳😳I was worried about people seeing me and about being photographed.... but then, I got used to it. If other girls, big or small, can rock one, I guess I can too. Maybe I won't every time (or ever again lol), but knowing I faced that body-conscious fear felt like an accomplishment. Just thought I'd mention that 😊😝.' #cellulitesummer #fashion #style #summerofcellulite #oodt #styleandcurvemag #cellulite #summer #beach #swimsuit

#CelluliteSummer with @beyondbeautystandards: 'At some point in many a woman's life, cellulite has caused...feelings. For whatever reason, dimpled thighs have long been a source of grief. Thankfully, heroes like @amberrose and @theashleygraham have been working to turn cellulite into a mark of beauty rather than shame, and now one prominent blogger is continuing the trend.⠀⠀⠀ Erin Motz ✨@badyogiofficial✨, who's the voice behind the Bad Yogi YouTube channel, took to Facebook with some refreshing thoughts on our hangups around the oh-so-notorious cellulite — and it is definitely worth a read.⠀⠀⠀ "Look, I know that the 'media' publishes a lot of images that give us #unrealisticexpectations about what bodies look like. But who perpetuates them? Do we see our own dimples and 'imperfections' (I’m hesitant to use that word, but for lack of a better one, I’ll use it) and cringe? What if we saw these 'perfect' images and saw them for what they are: #editedimages intended to highlight an item or idea, NOT represent what a body should look like," Motz wrote. "My point is that change in perception starts with US. It starts with YOU!"⠀⠀⠀ Motz continued by saying that changing how we view our bodies means accepting them entirely.⠀⠀⠀ "I’m super-petite and when I move in certain ways, I totally have cellulite and a few stray #stretchmarks from having a body that changes over time," she wrote. "These are not things to be ashamed of! It’s like having eyebrows or ears. They’re just there! If you have a body, you have these other things, too."⠀⠀⠀ We've come to view normal physical features like #cellulite and stretch marks as things that shouldn't be there, as "imperfections," but they've only gotten that reputation thanks to distorted representations of bodies. Like Motz said, they're just another part of our bodies that appear as we grow and change.⠀⠀⠀ She closed her post with a story about how her fiancé, whom she calls the Frenchman, was actually happy when he noticed he had a stretch mark on his bicep, calling it a "trophy" from all his visits to the gym. "I can get on board with that perspective. Your entire body is a trophy," she wrote. "Be proud, always!"
