I very clearly remember a slimming company using an image of a skinny person slipping out of their fat body when I was a kid. It screamed that cellulite was bad and fat rolls was disgusting. As you can tell, it’s stuck to me. When I look at myself, my back, I can’t help but remind myself of that image. The instant shock that I’m the “negative” part of that picture. I’ve got back rolls so that must mean I’m disgusting, right? Of course not! I know that it’s not true but a singular image has left that impression on my mind. Even at this stage of my life where I truly believe in beauty in all forms, I still catch myself with toxic thoughts that I’ve been taught throughout my youth. However, I’m so grateful for all the people who have bravery to take up space and show the diversity of their beauty. It’s because of people like them, I too have the courage to take up space. These are some of the people I feel inspired by all the time... @gabifresh @somethinkblack @radamridwan @sapphiresplendour @sarennya @tristamariemcg @_adydelvalle @sarageurts @uglyworldwide @ihartericka Please do share some of your favourites with me too!☺️ . . . . . . #bopo #bodypositivity
