Have you watched the film 'Embrace' yet?
Its a film that reinforces the idea that we should embrace our bodies just the way they are. No shame, no judgement, no disgust, just pure acceptance and love. How revolutionary is that! The film spoke to me on many levels since I could relate to so many of these women that the documentary had interviewed. Women who had never had a ‘thigh-gap’, who had had acne and didn’t look in the mirror for 3 years, women who generally felt total disgust for their appearances and for their bodies. I have been that person. Even tonight as sit here, I can honestly admit that I have contemplated the thought of whether I should be losing a couple of pounds. I know my friends and family members will probably think I’m nuts for thinking those thoughts but unless we look like the cover of sports illustrated then are we actually desirable? good enough? pretty enough? Especially since I’m single and I know the pressure is intense to look the best I can to get the guy that I’m going to be with. What utter bullshit.
