BODY IMAGE

- A PERSON’S FEELINGS AND THOUGHTS ABOUT HIS OR HER BODY,

“ I definitely have body issues, but everybody
does. When you come to the realization that
everybody does – even the people that I consider
flawless – than you can start to live with the way
you are.

Taylor Swift

“ Just because we have acne,
tummy rolls, and chaffing thighs
doesn’t mean we need fixed.
Period.
Mik Zazon

“
Work out because you love
your body, not because you
hate it. ”

comfortable in your own skin.
It’s about knowing and
accepting who you are
