Body acceptance

Almost everyday i read a blog, or an article or see a picture or a tumblr where a girl (or like 99% of the time its a girl) complaining about her body, about how she looks, wants to change the way she looks... and i must admit, i have been guilty of that... and i guess i still am somedays. It is easy to look at others and compare yourself, see your flaws... to degrade yourself and make yourself feel bad about the way you look... but why not, find the good things in yourself and the way you look? Bring yourself up, make yourself feel good, instead of pulling yourself down?

Why cant we accept ourselves for how we look, why must we change. Why must we point out our flaws?
   
I am body positive. I think that everyone is beautiful, no matter what shape or size. We should just embrace our bodies, love ourselves.

Today, i have had very good body feelings/thoughts!!! And you know what... ive been bloated and swollen all day, like i usually am... but that hasnt bothered me. Ive still been able to look in the mirror and be like, Damn!! I look good!! haha XD
   
I feel really good about my body, not everyday... but most of the time. And it is such a nice feeling, for like a 3rd of my life, ive hated the way i looked... i didnt want to be in my own body, in my own skin. Hated myself and hated my body. So its weird to think that i can actually like my body? To feel happy about the way i look...
   
While i was sick, most days i was covered in loads of clothes because 1) i was always cold and 2) i didnt want anybody to see my body. There were some days though where i felt skinny.. felt happy. And then i wanted to go in shorts and tank tops, to show off my skinny body, but i rarely felt like that...
  and now... well i have no problem wearing shorts, showing my body. I dont feel fat, im not worried about what others think, whether people will think i look fat, or dont even care about the scars on my body....

We are all beautiful just the way we are....
