Learning how to love your body isn't an easy thing. I know what youâre thinking. Iâm going to tell you the secrets of getting skinny or ripped. Thatâs not it at all. Youâre beautiful the way you are. This is all about body positivity. Embrace that cellulite, those stretch marks (I have plenty), that little bit of belly pouch you may have. These are all traits that show youâve lived life. Every bump, indention, and jiggle is a story.
Everyone is different and thatâs what makes life interesting. Know that every female and male (yes, boys youâre included in this) wants something they donât have. Instead of hating your body because you donât have that, compliment those who do. For example, my fiancĂ© has a nice, perky booty that Iâm envious of but she wants the flat abs that I have. That just proves that it's important to learn how to love your body.
Donât think I have forgotten the way we feel inadequate compared to most celebrities. Photoshop is great, isnât it? Iâm not going to deny they are beautiful as well but their âflawlessâ beauty from their faces to their legs are generally photoshopped and airbrushed. They are human just like you and me. They have the same issues. They have those breakouts and are prone to the lovely bumps called cellulite. Thereâs no shame in having them as a goal if that helps you stay motivated if you have a certain goal in mind. Just remember every person has a different shape. Some are just made curvy and some are thin. No body shape is better than the other.
Embracing your body doesnât mean you canât change it if thatâs what you want. There are exercises and healthy living that can help you reach those goals. Just donât forget to love the skin youâre in while doing it.
