Change The Way You Talk About Your Body

Found this quote by Beth Ditto:

"A body isn't something we're taught to love; it's something we are absolutely taught to fear no matter how "perfect." I can tell you that the moment I let go of all the rules that had been instilled in me, my life opened up to possibilities I never would have imagined, opportunities that never would have came to me if I had carried on the tradition of hating my body."

It's a revelation to me. Of course - we are taught to fear our bodies, not to love them. That applies to everyone - not just the fat girls. Remember that scene in Mean Girls?

Girls watch this scene and laugh because it's so true and reminiscent of how we discuss our bodies with other women. 

Let go of the rules; open yourselves up to possibilities. Make a decision not to engage in negative body talk. It will change your life.
