    Seeing this as a 16 years old girl.. I'm so grateful for your speech, it was incredible
    Words can hurt so much, too much
    But yours help me
    The industry is a piece of sh!t. Let's get rebellious.

      I know im a stranger who dont really matter but i love helping with their weight ...idk why 😁 well, maybe you even lose your weight maybe not. I just want to say to you : just eat better but never less. Eat 500 calories per meals , so 3 big meal a day , great meal with lot of veggies and all the things , still hungry? Eat 2 little snack / desert 200 calories each. You are at 1900 calories and that's perfect. You still not losing weight ? Workout , move your body. And i swear after 4-5 months you will see it , just be patient , Have a great day💛

      I feel you, I stress about my weight everyday. I have checked the scale everyday for the past 7 months and I hate it I miss not worrying about what I’m eating or how much I’m eating. My weight loss journey has now changed my life for ever. The pros I know more about health the cons I came close to developing an eating disorder. My advice to you is to learn to love yourself and live life to it’s fullest this in turn will motivate you do great things and those great things could be anything from weight loss to learning a new language or simply helping someone idk if this makes sense but I hope I helped lol

  • @heartsoulholisticservices

    It’s so interesting how we see ourselves. I have the opposite issue and have this odd belief that skinny is not good, that I need to be bigger and more muscular; my skinny legs was always a sensitive point.. I see beauty in all shapes and sizes yet struggle to see it in myself. Working on self love and acceptance daily. Thank you for sharing your story❤️❤️❤️

    I sobbed throughout this entire video! Her words are so comforting and well spoken.

I want to be healthy + happy, loving myself will be a priority starting now :D

    Wow. This ted talk has a very personal aura to it. I see myself in her. I'm just a midwestern guy that has a very different life, yet I feel each of her words build up in my mouth and start to seep out through my teeth. I feel like I've been related to in a way that hasn't seen contact for a very long time. My inner child that's still uncomfortable with any disapproval and desperately trying to be noticed and appreciated. It's time to take my feelings into my own hands and trust my body. Honor it for what it is, where it's gotten me, and where I will go with it.

    I dont know how I'd exist in this world from societal pressures alone. But even now, in my 40s, I have an almond mom who reminds me at every opportunity, as she has throughout my life, that my body takes up too much space and that it is a moral failing that I am not small(er).

      I still struggle with this but one tip-if there’s something you’re struggling with, talk to a really caring and professional counselor. And be careful who you share your pain with. Not everyone will be kind. Some can make things worse.

    In the quiet spaces of your mind,
    Where self-doubt may sometimes find,
    A tender echo, soft and clear,
    Whispers words you need to hear.
    Love yourself, oh gentle soul,
    In the mirror, make it whole.
    For in your flaws and imperfections,
    Lie the beauty of your reflections.
    Embrace the scars that mark your skin,
    Each a story, where you've been.
    They tell of battles fought and won,
    A testament to all you've done.
    In every laugh, in every tear,
    In every triumph, in every fear,
    Find the strength to stand tall,
    In the embrace of your own call.
    Cherish the depths within your heart,
    Where dreams ignite and passions start.
    For in loving yourself, you'll come to see,
    The boundless possibility.
    So dance beneath the starlit sky,
    With arms outstretched, let your spirit fly.
    For you are worthy, you are enough,
    A masterpiece of love's sweet stuff.
    In the tapestry of life's grand scheme,
    You're a thread, a radiant beam.
    So hold yourself with gentle care,
    And know that love is always there.
    Love yourself, oh cherished friend,
    For in that love, you'll find no end.
    In every breath, in every hue,
    Love yourself, for you are you.

    A main part of my insecurities are what my friends and close people have said about me. I'm honestly just so insecure, and I hate myself for that. I'm not insecure about anything else, I am shy, but can start convos, etc, my biggest enemy is my body.

    This is a good message if I can imagine it written down, however close to the Ted talks and I’ve been seeing on eating disorders the women come across very Windee if you’re trying to lose power with linden present you’re what you’re saying it and power way not in a whiny this comes across as though you were whining and crying the entire time about your experience which is not very empowering
    If this were your first public experience talking I could maybe excuse it through nervousness that we cannot in an age where we are trying to empower women come across as though we are apologizing for having a public voice, throw some rage and dad being that his perception don’t apologize for being a victim
