"I love body positivity.

What's not to love? I'm all about any movement for self-acceptance and being a little kinder to ourselves. And after the last few years, in which a medication radically changed the body I had known for so long, it was body positive affirmations and the amazing activists who uttered them that helped me rebuild a healthy relationship with my body and myself.

Body positivity has been like an old friend that I could lean on in difficult moments. It was there when a doctor labeled me "overweight" for the first time. It was there when my disordered eating crept back in and the calorie counting began, and it was there when I learned that you can have stretch marks on the back of your legs and the panic about all these changes set in."
