We talk a lot about body positivity, empowerment, and self love. But we know the journey to self acceptance isn't easy, and there's no quick fix for the internal and external criticism we're subjected to on a regular basis.

One thing that helps us is exposure... Exposure to other normal women, with normal bodies- bodies with rolls, scars, bumps and bellies. In a culture that pushes skinny, airbrushed perfection down our throats, we feel so empowered by women who show us that EVERY SIZE is beautiful.

So below we are linking some of our favorite body positivity accounts. Just seeing their images on a regular basis helps us remember to love our bodies just the way they are- That we don't need to lose weight or change a thing to feel beautiful and whole.

Oh, and while you're at it- we recommend unfollowing any accounts that might make you feel negative about yourself. This can include models, brands, friends, or fitness pages that put too much emphasis on weight loss and achieving the “perfect shape.”

We hope you find these women as inspiring as we do. And if you have any accounts that inspire you, please send them our way! :)
