To me, body confidence ultimately comes down to how I think and feel about my body and other people’s, regardless of how it compares to any ‘ideal’. Positive body image for me is not solely about how my body looks – it’s about how I talk about my body and how I look after it.
Every day my appreciation deepens and I am forever fascinated by what our bodies can do. It’s unapologetically celebrating the everyday things that feel like magic. Like the cut on my finger that heals two days later; the tingly feelings I get when I’m with Mat; it’s putting my hand on my chest and feeling my heart beating, my lungs breathing for me and keeping me alive; it’s watching my friends’ bodies grow babies … We are all capable of so much more than we believe.
It’s taken me years of experiences, joy, grief, pain, extremes to think like this. I used to think confidence would come from all the added extra layers – the hair extensions, the immaculately polished acrylic nails, the ‘skin-perfecting’ make-up, the ‘cellulite-busting’ roller … I subscribed to an ethos that I now call ‘Body Image Bollocks’.
