“Begin by removing anyone on your social media who promotes the opposite of loving your body just the way it is. Then look for and follow others who not are only learning to love and accept their bodies but who are celebrating them LOUDLY! It makes such a difference when you scroll down your timeline and see all these beautiful bountiful bodies enjoying life in their own terms.” » Vanessa Ferreira
