Truths about my body | Positive body image for plus-size and fat people

ByLindley Ashline

My humanity gives me inherent worth.

My body is worthy because it’s mine.

My body deserves love, attention, and care no matter what.

My body is worthy no matter its health status.

My body is worthy no matter its age.

My body can “pull off” anything I want to put on it.

My body and mind’s needs, desires, feelings, pain, and pleasure are as valid as anyone else’s.

My body is unique and that’s a good thing.

I am allowed to be proud of my body.

This week in the Body Liberation Blanket Fort we’re talking about divesting from diet culture while managing illnesses and health conditions, and journaling about concrete steps to improving our body image. Join us by supporting Body Liberation Photos on Patreon.
