I’m very fortunate to find body positive resources early in my life. I’m 24 and I’ve wholeheartedly loved my body for about 6 months (still late, but better late than never) Thanks for the beautiful words and reminder!

Hi Margaret, I really enjoyed what you wrote that it gave me that “almost tear”. It really touched me. I’ve been hating myself for the last 7-8 years that I’ve been in a downward spiral. I’m a functional drug user who maybe wishes to be seen for who I am. Maybe then and only then could I get the help I probably need. If it wasn’t for my family I’d really have no reason for being on this beautiful earth(some sarcasm). I’m 28 now, 29 this year, in a mind state of not wanting to move on in my life, maybe I’m just afraid of change, maybe I’ve just only able to handle a certain amount of life and then shut down…enough with my rant. Time to live the rest of my life wasting away

I do not even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was great.
I do not know who you are but definitely you’re going to a famous blogger if you aren’t already Cheers!

Thanks so much for this post. I resonate so much with this. When I think of how much I disliked or even hated my body when I was younger — or at the very least didn’t appreciate how gorgeous I actually was! — it makes me both sad and angry. What a waste! How silly! How tragic.

I’m just starting to come out of some of this now, at nearly 50 years old. It’s too late for me to be happy in the body I had in my youth, but I can still start loving myself better NOW, in the body I have now. (In fact, I wrote a whole post about it in my own blog recently, http://blog.unchartedlove.com/?p=1267)

I’m incredibly happy that my own teen daughter doesn’t struggle as much as I did, about this. She still lives in our culture, so she’s not free of it completely, but I’ve worked very hard to not pass my own insanity directly on to her. And so far, it seems to be working. *crossing fingers*

Thank you, Margaret, for your voice, and this much-needed post. If I hadn’t already thought you were awesome, this would have solidified it for sure!

[...] In a post on her website, she told teens to take the videos down: “You don’t need people to tell you how beautiful you are on there. You don’t need to put yourself in the position to be judged that way. You are better than that and you deserve the very best in life.” [...]
