pep talk about your body

By Fleur AalsmaPublished 6 years ago 3 min read

Scrolling through instagram. All the beautiful bodies you see. Even though they probably are photoshoppend and fake, you still keep comparing your body to theirs. Asking yourself if you are beautiful. Are stretch marks pretty? My rolls? My acne? My cellulite? My wrinkles? My small boobies? My big boobies? My big thighs? My big butt? My small butt? Whatever it is, you should know that everyone has the same problems. everyone has it and everyone is insecure about something.

you do you Some people like to do something about it like plastic surgery. Some people start reading into how to love your body the way it is. Some people love their body and rock it in their way. Whatever it is you do, we should all be happy for each other. It is your body so your choice. Nobody should make you feel bad about your choices. If people on Instagram make you feel insecure, I want to say unfollow every person who makes you feel ugly. Only follow people that inspire you in every way. Maybe quote pages, or fashion pages, friends pages? Whatever makes you happy. Because everything you see, read, and hear reflects on you in some way.

change of mindset The only problem with photo shopping or plastic surgery is that people who had the same problem as you will be like ‘but if she thinks that’s ugly does that mean i’m ugly too? do I have to change this and that too’ which is probably not what the person who did plastic surgery want. She just did that because it made HER feel better. YOU GO GIRL! But it can rub other people the wrong way. And that’s not the problem of the person that got plastic surgery. Only the person that feels ugly when she sees things like that. First thing. Stop looking at people that makes you feel bad about your body. Start looking at people with a body like yours. And how they love their body. Maybe that will make you go ‘she loves her body like that, why can’t i?’. then, the better way is just accepting your body and keep following these girls and supporting them. That is their body this is your body. No one is perfect. So why not accept that all with each other.

opinions Then we have the people that don’t let people wear what they want. Girls with rolls can rock crop tops too, or bikini’s and every clothing piece! Just like skinny, thick and every girls ever. And DON’T body shame them about that. The same thing with acne. Leave people alone! Instead hype each other up. You can change another person with things like compliments. Something so small can become something so big to someone. Believe me.

I’m sixteen years old with stretch marks, which I love. I feel like a little tigress. I have acne on my face, back, and sometimes on my chest. I have cellulite. Big boobs but no hips and a small booty. I have always hated my face. Thought it was too round and big. Some days I love my face. Some days I feel really beautiful in my skin. Then I want to go outside. Do something to show everyone how beautiful I am but other days I feel really ugly. And want to do nothing else than staying in my house. With a big shirt on watching a movie. We all have moments like that. That’s not weird or bad. Don’t be scared that you got insecure again. We will always be insecure. That can’t change. The only thing you can do is accept it all.
