I say if I’m beautiful. I say if I’m strong. You will not determine my story—I will.

Enough, enough with these waifish elves walking your impossible clothing down an ugly runway with ugly lighting and noisy music. Life doesn’t look like that runway. |

I guess my mom raised me right. She was very celebratory of her body. I never heard her once say “I feel fat”. Back when I was modeling, the first time I went to Italy, I was having cappuccinos every day, and I gained 15 pounds. And I felt gorgeous! I would take my clothes off in front of the mirror and be like “Oh, I look like a woman”. And I felt beautiful, and I never tried to lose it, because I loved it. |

Self-criticism is not “love,” and it is certainly not indifferent. It’s a form of hatred.

Imagine if you had never in your life ever seen an image of a woman in a magazine. Imagine how differently you would feel about your body. My assumption is you would feel very different.

|
God made a very obvious choice when he made me voluptuous; why would I go against what he decided for me? My limbs work, so I’m not going to complain about the way my body is shaped. |

As a younger woman, that pressure got me down, but I’ve made my peace with it. With airbrushing and digital manipulation, fashion can project an unobtainable image that’s dangerously unhealthy. I’m excited about the ageing process. I’m more interested in women who aren’t perfect. They’re more compelling. Beauty is the marks that life leaves on us, all the kicks and the caresses the memories leave us. Beauty is letting yourself live. |

You are not a mistake. You are not a problem to be solved. But you won’t discover this until you are willing to stop banging your head against the wall of shaming and caging and fearing yourself. |
Each individual woman’s body demands to be accepted on its own terms. |

Beauty shouldn’t be about changing yourself to achieve an ideal or be more socially acceptable. Real beauty, the interesting, truly pleasing kind, is about honoring the beauty within you and without you. It’s about knowing that someone else’s definition of pretty has no hold over you. |
Real women are fat. And thin. And both, and neither, and otherwise. |
|
I stand in awe of my body. |
|
Love yourself for who you are, and trust me, if you are happy from within, you are the most beautiful person, and your smile is your best asset. |

Make choices that are loving for yourself – with your diet, your relationships, and in speaking your loving truth – that are in alignment with what you want to be doing. When you see that in a person, you are seeing their passion and fulfillment, and that person feels good to you because they feel good to themselves. I know that I feel good and I think that comes across on stage; when I didn’t feel good before, I think that came across on stage. |
|
Love yourself. It is important to stay positive because beauty comes from the inside out. |
|
You’re damned if you’re too thin and you’re damned if you’re too heavy. According to the press I’ve been both. It’s impossible to satisfy everyone and I suggest we stop trying. |
|
In hollywood, I’m obese. I’m considered a fat actress. I eat like a caveman. I’m never going to starve myself for a part. I’m invincible. I don’t want girls to be like, ‘I want to look like katniss, so I’m going to skip dinner!’ |
|
You have to stand up and say, ‘There’s nothing wrong with me or my shape or who I am; you’re the one with the problem! |

The human body is the best work of art. |
I’m just your everyday woman who is trying to feel good and be healthy for her daughter, her fiancé, and herself. |

|
I’m confident in who I am, and I’m not doing anything wrong. I’m just being myself: being comfortable with my body, comfortable with my sound, and I’m figuring out who I am. |
|
Kill your scale. It’s ridiculous to measure your worth based on a number in a little box that you get on in the morning. It has nothing to do with your worthiness. Nobody needs a reality tv show to be a healthy human being. If somebody comes up to you and tells you you’re fat, or if somebody comes up to you and tell you you’re beautiful — that has absolutely nothing to do with who you are and everything to do with who they are. Remember that. |

How beautiful would it be if we could just see souls instead of bodies? To see love and compassion instead of curves. |

|

I accept my body. I accept how I am and make the best of what I am given. As a child, I never heard one woman say to me, “I love my body“. Not my mother, my elder sister, my best friend. No one woman has ever said, “I am so proud of my body.” So I make sure to say it to Mia [her daughter], because a positive physical outlook has to start at an early age. I have a crumble baby belly, boobs are worse for wear after two kids…I’m doing all right. I’m 33. I don’t look in the mirror and go, “Oh, I look fantastic!”. Of course I don’t. Nobody is perfect. I just don’t believe in perfection. But I do believe in saying, “This is who I am and look at me not being perfect!”. I’m proud of that. |
|
What I am is how I came out. No one’s perfect and you just have to accept your flaws and learn to love yourself. |
|
I wish I had a better metabolism. But someone else probably wishes they could walk into a room and make friends with everyone like I can. You always want what someone else has. |

I embrace the imperfections and celebrate them. |
|
I’m proud of my body. I’m finally in a good place and learning to love me for me, and not somebody else’s standards. |
|

My body is normal, and I’m not trying to prove anything. |

I’m no model lady. A model’s just an imitation of the real thing. |

Hating our bodies is something that we learn, and it sure as hell is something that we can unlearn. |
My weight? It is what it is. You could get hit by a bus tomorrow. It’s about being content, and sometimes other priorities win. |
|
Everyone tries to look a cookie-cutter kind of way, and actually the people who look different are the ones who get picked up. Don’t waste so much time worrying about how much you weigh. There is no more mind-numbing, boring, idiotic, or self-destructive diversion from the fun of living. |
|
Being a healthy woman isn’t about getting on a scale or measuring your waistline. We need to start focusing on what matters—on how we feel, and how we feel about ourselves. |
|
I don’t wanna be shaped like a girl. I love being shaped like a woman, and trust me ladies, your man won’t mind either. |
|
If someone told me that I was stupid or that I wasn’t a leader or that I wasn’t witty or quick or perceptive, I’d be devastated. If someone told me that I had a gross body, I’d say, ‘Well, it’s bringing me a lot of happiness,’ |
|

|
It’s also helpful to realize that this very body that we have, that’s sitting right here, right now, with its aches and its pleasures is exactly what we need to be fully human, fully awake, fully alive. |
|
I feel like I’ve set the example for loving your body no matter what size it is, but I also can set the example for being healthy as well. I often find it’s just the confidence that makes you sexy, not what your body looks like. It’s how you feel about yourself that makes you sexy. |
|
Someone else’s opinion of you is none of your business. |
|
There is nothing wrong with your body, but there is a lot wrong with the messages which try to convince you otherwise. |
|
People often say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing you are the beholder. |
|
You just can’t let your entire life go by worrying about your damned thighs. You’d never find happiness. |
|
Sometimes it takes dealing with a disability—the trauma, the relearning, the months of rehabilitation therapy—to uncover our true abilities, and how we can put them to work for us in ways we may have never imagined. |
|
No one’s body is up for comment. No matter how small, how curvy, how round, how flat. If you love you, then I love you. |
|
To lose confidence in one’s body is to lose confidence in oneself. |
|
The scale can only tell you what you weigh; not who you are. |

When we’re awake in our bodies and sense, the world comes alive. Wisdom, creativity, and love are discovered as we relax and awaken through our bodies. |

Now every girl is expected to have Caucasian blue eyes, full Spanish lips, a classic button nose, hairless Asian skin with a California tan, a Jamaican dance hall ass, long Swedish legs, small Japanese feet, the abs of a lesbian gym owner, the hips of a nine-year-old boy, the arms of Michelle Obama, and doll tits. The person closest to actually achieving this look is Kim Kardashian, who, as we know, was made by Russian scientists to sabotage our athletes. |
|
Girls of all kinds can be beautiful – from the thin, plus-sized, short, very tall, ebony to porcelain-skinned; the quirky, clumsy, shy, outgoing and all in between. It’s not easy though because many people still put beauty into a confining, narrow box…Think outside of the box…Pledge that you will look in the mirror and find the unique beauty in you. |
|
Real beauty isn’t about symmetry or weight or makeup; it’s about looking life right in the face and seeing all its magnificence reflected in your own. |
