I refuse to buy into the idea that the most important things I can be are pretty and thin. Be smart. Be strong. Be kind. Be confident. Here's to being okay with pictures of my profile. #bigribproblems #fit #effyourbeautystandards #wethewildflowers #honormycurves #bootyrevolution #bodypositive #bodylovejourney (Thank you for being part of the revolution!! @allyoop237)

Sometimes, I just wanna feeeel pretty. But pretty is just an umbrella word. Underneath it the need to feel loved. Worthy. Deserving. Safe. To own & truly love myself -- flaws and all. 'Pretty' has become a feeling -- Realize that translating all of these beautiful human needs into something so trivial as looks takes away from the monumental happiness that comes from everywhere else BUT the mirror. In short, I'm just Standing here feeling pretty human today, & doing my best to love this skin and the life it allows me to live. 👯🍬 #humanexperience #humannature #selfiesunday #effyourbeautystandards #honormycurves #curvygirls #youarebeautiful #thickgirls #realtalk #journalentries #droidonly #girl #rcnocrop #bodypositive #bootyrevolution (Thank you for being part of the revolution @_aprilfresh_!)

#selflovesunday #bootyrevolution I love my body. It is mine and the only one I will get.All of the random bruises, the odd tan lines, the curves and injuries. I love the tattoos that adorn it. I love that my thighs aren't perfectly smooth. I love the scars. My body tells my story. All of its imperfections make it absolutely perfect. (Thank you for joining the revolution @stellalouise4)

I'm not stick thin, nor am I overweight. I'm just in the middle. And as much as I wish I had a six pack, I may never get there. But I am strong. Inside and out. #yoga #handstand #summerofbalance #variation #selfconfidence #selfconfidence #bootyrevolution #selflove #yogaeverydamnday (Thanks for joining the revolution @hreinblatt)

I know my booty might not be a guy's "ideal" booty, but it's okay with me. I never had much confidence in myself, but this page has given me a whole new outlook on life, and myself. I've struggled with weight and low self-esteem my whole life, and I recently started to accept my body for what it is. At only 19, I've gone through a hell of a lot of ordeals, but that won't stop my love for myself. I wanted to post this because I want other girls to know they're not alone, and that they ARE beautiful. Stretch marks, back rolls, I've got them all. It might make you feel ugly, but it's totally normal. They're life battle wounds, be proud of them! Don't take yourself for granted. I don't anymore. #bootyrevolution (Submitted by @imani_nicole24)

Like many here, my journey to body confidence has been gradual and ongoing. I'm still not perfectly content 100% of the time, but I'm so much better than I was even a year ago. The most important thing that I've learned is that confidence is a commitment you make to yourself every day so I try to wake up each morning dedicated to loving myself inside and out. #bootyrevolution (Anonymous email submission)

This is my body. This is the body of someone who has struggled with an eating disorder. This body can run for miles and not give out on me. This body is strong. This body has curves. It has muscle and it has cellulite. This body is fueled with healthy foods, but doesn't fail if I feed it improperly from time to time. This is the body of a size 14, the average size of American women. This is the only body I will have for the rest of my life. It shows my struggles and it shows my progress. Why shouldn't I be proud of it? Why shouldn't I be able to show it off, the way thinner women can? Why shouldn't it be celebrated? I am thankful for what this body has done for me. I am thankful for the healthy path I have taken, both mentally and physically. I am proud of what I've overcome. This is my body. #bootyrevolution (Thank you for being apart of the revolution @loeybug)

I've decided that I'm proud of how far I've come. Life is too short to be stressed over every lump, bump, and jiggle (or lack thereof). #bootyrevolution (Thanks for joining the revolution @sheridantoinette)

So, I grew up extremely underweight, and it seemed like any weight I did gain always went straight to my booty and thighs. I always longed to gain some weight and not be so childish looking, in a supposedly adult body. I used to be ashamed of all my weight seeming to go to my thighs and butt only, but now I embrace it. I love the way I've filled out and feel more womanly and beautiful than ever. I got a favorite art piece tattooed to curl up my thigh and slightly onto my bum and it made me feel even more comfortable in my skin. I decided its time to be a part of this lovely booty revolution, once and for all. I love booty! Booties of the world unite!!! 😁 #bootyrevolution (Submitted by @breezytetsu)

I have a trick for whenever I feel shitty. Deciding that my stretch marks are my favorite feature was the best thing I ever did. I just remind myself that I earned my stripes and I might as well flaunt them. I was gonna do this anonymously but I think I wanna go a step further to flaunt my stripes. My URL is red-bird.tumblr.com if you need a friend to remind you how fierce you are. Stay strong everyone! #bootyrevolution (Submitted by @annamercuryy)

My whole life, I've struggled with people making fun of my big ass, my ghetto booty, my thick frame, etc. Can I just say, as a size 3, or as my current size 10, my ass has ALWAYS been big - and I love it. I have nothing to be ashamed of, and nothing to hide. Women should be celebrated in all shapes and sizes, and should find the men who won't hesitate to hesitate to worship them in ALL their forms. Wear your skin ladies, and wear it proudly! #bootyrevolution (Submission from @jenlm85)

Like a lot of kids now-a-days, sadly, I was bullied about my weight. Although, mines not a usual bullying story... I was bullied from about 4th grade until freshman year. The worst year was 8th grade. There was this boy in particular who would tell me to kill myself because I was to ugly to even look at, and I was too fat and ugly to deserve love. I started to believe it, so I turned to a family member's prescription diet pills. I loved it too much that I ended up get addicted to them, which destroyed my kidneys and liver by the middle of my 8th grade year because I was taking 5 times the prescribed dosage daily. It lead to a severe drinking problem and getting addicted to painkillers to try and dull the constant disgust of myself, all by the age of 16. I was on a downward spiral. And I forgot the most important part, I'm a pastor's daughter and was the worship leader of my church. I'd been living this double life. Everyday was a cycle of pills, other drugs, and getting blackout drunk, every single night (I'd even lead church band practice drunk. I got very good at hiding it). I finally started counseling with a counselor that specializes in eating disorder, and I've now been sober for 3 months. All of this happened because I listened to the world and society instead off realizing that I am beautifully and wonderfully made. #bootyrevolution (anonymous email submission)

This body is a reflection of the invisible turmoil I have recently experienced. For the past 6 months I have been battling adrenal fatigue, a precursor of the life-debilitating chronic condition, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) otherwise known as ME. Not only does adrenal fatigue have physical symptoms such as fatigue which isn't relieved by rest and constant indigestion, its mental counterpart, overwhelming anxiety and depression, equally took its toll. In 6 months I gained a stone (14 pounds) and lost all confidence and sense of self, facing the threat of the condition's potential permanency. I pushed people away, often being too tired to converse and being ashamed of having a condition so often mistakenly perceived as laziness or depression. I spent months in bed, hating my body for not cooperating with my head, and for my mood not cooperating with my spirit. Thankfully I am recovering, but half a year of inactivity inevitably shows. However, I am extremely grateful and proud to show off my new bikini on this body which is, amazingly, able to swim! So here it is, my unedited (yikes!) 'belfie', #nofilter, and with the help of the brave ladies of @thebootyrevolution, #noshame.
