Growing up as a brown person with not so attractive features, I always felt inferior to everyone around me. I used to feel that I didn’t deserve to do the things that other ‘pretty girls’ my age did- find love, wear your hair nicely or even put on a bit of makep. I still remember the fear I felt the first time that I w... | ['Writing', 'Happiness', 'Body Positive', 'Confidence', 'Self Love'] |

Of all the insensitive and somewhat berating comments, I had received about my body, yours happens to be my favorite. I was 13, happy, chubby, and oblivious about cultural standards of beauty. I still remember how you watched my face fall, drained of color as you made your remark. I opened my mouth, but I wasn’t sure I... | ['Self-awareness', 'Human Parts', 'Self Acceptance', 'Body Positive', 'Self Love'] |
Did you know that most people are not happy with the body they live in? Especially, most of the women are not happy about their weights, and no matter what their shape, they want to be thinner.

Most guys who hit the gym aspire to get big. They see pictures of guys online, or even in their own gym, and aspire to be like them — they want to be bodybuilders.

Yet the years go by and their ga... | ['Bodybuilding', 'Body Positive', 'Workout', 'Gym'] |
Its not uncommon for the body to feel hungry, parched, or unsatisfied. Your body starts to crave something to fulfill it. Most people tend to go into hunger mode.

A few days ago, an old photo popped up on Facebook memories that made me realise how far I’ve come on my self-love journey. So I posted a transformation/comparison pic on my Instagram story about learning to love your body.

My name is TaLynn Kel and I enjoy being visible.
I wasn’t always able to say that. Not that I wanted to go unnoticed; often I didn’t have a choice. In fact, many times I still don’t. People see who they choose to see in the ways they want to see them, and being a fat,... | ['BlackLivesMatter', 'Cosplay', 'Racism', 'Body Positive', 'Geek'] |

My actual closet — Yes this is POST purge & to be fair shoes never stop fitting
Every year I purge — In an age of Marie Kondo and a focus on reducing consumption, it is the done thing.

We have heard it before and you could argue pointless virtue signalling if I simply shouted ‘we’ve been objectified!’. Yes, that’s true, but let’s dive deeper into it. That’s where it gets... | ['John Berger', 'Intuitive Eating', 'Feminism', 'Body Positive', 'Art History'] |
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who has the perfect body of them all? Why, of course, you do! There has never been anyone quite like you in the history of humans, nor will there ever be. Then why is our society so caught up in body shaming when we each have unique qualities that make us individuals?
