On Body Image and self-esteem…….
I don’t think you’re born with self-esteem. I’ve gone through so much of my own
stuff with too much dieting, not eating enough, eating too much, over exercising,
under exercising, all of those other things that had taken place. I had to educate
myself and learn that I’m beyond just my physical self. That it’s a package deal.
It’s a balance of mind, body, spirit, and soul.
It’s not just one incident that I think can make somebody turn around and body-bash
themselves. I think it takes numerous incidents where there’s such a misplacement
of a focus on one’s body. They need to make themselves feel as good as they possibly
can from the inside. It’s not a product. It’s not a drink or a pill. It’s saying
I need to get out and exercise. I need to eat well, relax, and have fun. I need
to be the best that I can be.
Can you imagine having a world where girls are righteously confident about their
physical selves? Where they can discuss how they’re feeling, what’s going on,
what’s the newest book they’ve read, or even quantum physics, rather than how
many calories they had over lunch or their newest exercise routine. New thinking.
Creative thinking. |  |
