“You don’t have to love your body to treat your body with love. This can look like taking breaks when you need to, unfollowing that page that makes you feel weird about your body, listening to fat musicians, wearing clothes that are comfortable, getting seconds, or letting your thighs splay out and take up space! Above all, be kind to yourself.” » Kristine Zaftig
