Self-loathing begins in the home,” says Jill Demby Guest. “Children are taught to hate. How could I have ever fairly assessed my ass when my own mother judged beauty straight from the pages of high fashion magazines. Any derriere larger than standard model fare might call attention to itself. Then others might make critical remarks about it and my mother would have to defend it as being a reflection of her. Like somehow my ass was attached to her and didn’t really have a life of its own. And while I couldn’t change my mother’s thinking, I began to question my own.”
I know Jill and she’s a funny, authentic, talented woman and her journey into embracing her true scrumptious gorgeousness has been AMAZING to watch! A lesson for us all.
So often we casually dismiss or just plain DISS parts of our body that we may not think we like (e.g. tummy, thighs, bust, behind you name it). Today look at yourself and delight in yourself and who you are 🙂 Do a little DANCE in the mirror!
You are whole and complete girl! WHOLE and COMPLETE.
