Let’s discuss body image. As more insight about body acceptance and size inclusivity becomes available, it appears that our culture is undergoing a healthy shift. It’s crucial to be reminded that every body is a good body during a time of year when there seems to be a lot of emphasis on “perfect” bodies.
Your body keeps you alive, enables you to move in various ways, and helps you get out of bed every morning. Loving our bodies should be present at all ages and body types, not just when we are “in shape.” It will be much simpler to make positive adjustments and keep positive changes even if you plan to modify your body starting from a place of self-regard.
Start curating your Instagram. It’s time to stop following influencers that support diet culture and start following those who don’t make you self-conscious about the way your body appears.
If you want your Instagram scroll to promote body positivity and acceptance, following these seven accounts might be helpful. You’ll feel so confident after hearing to these body-positive campaigners.
Jenna Kutcher
To start with the first body-positive account – Jenna Kutcher’s. Although she swiftly and easily changed into a body positive influencer, people used to follow her for her lovely wedding images and Instagram advice. However, it’s not just that Kutcher showing off her curves and makeup-free appearance in public that has benefited people; her candour and life lessons are also shared in her captions.
She offers a healthy amount of motivation and support while also sharing the struggle of coming to terms with her body, which is always worth a SAVE. She is chronicling her own authentic and candid path toward body acceptance, including how she feels when she receives harsh responses, why she doesn’t want to publish ostensibly “unflattering” images, and how she teaches her daughter to love herself.
Aerie
It is clear that this business of swimsuit and lingerie, which caters to young women, is not a personal account. However, I think it is worthwhile to start flooding our social media feeds and, by extension, our thoughts with real, unaltered bodies that are genuinely of all shapes, colours, sizes, and purported “imperfections”—which is what Aerie accomplishes.
It is encouraging to see businesses like these publish images and advertisements of women with rolls of skin, uneven skin tones, and non-flat stomachs. We will never see these variances in skin tone, appearance, weight, and size as what they are—normal, common, and beautiful—if we don’t allow ourselves to witness this truth on a regular basis.
When some of their competitors exclusively utilise hyper-retouched models with a very certain and culturally-idealized physical appearance, seeing a brand take this stance rather than simply individuals and influencers is powerful.
Follow Aerie on Instagram to show the fashion industry as a whole that this is what we, as women, want to see. This can help us expand our perception of what normal and attractive bodies actually look like.
Elle Peterson
Elle Peterson is a women of confidence who posts stretch marks purposefully and is praised on Instagram. If you are
grappling with shame over the stretch marks acquired throughout pregnancy, Peterson’s lovely description will surely normalise your postpartum body.
Her words and images have made it easier for people to love and recognise as beautiful a body that had been instructed to be concealed by the outside world. Her account also demonstrates how simple it is for anyone—influencers and your coworker alike- to change how their body appears by donning high-waisted bottoms, changing their perspective, or using an app.
This helps people embrace body as normal and beautiful by reminding people that what you see in the mirror is probably a lot more common than what you are lead to believe by what you see on social media.
Alex LaRosa
The word “body positive” is made positive by Alex LaRosa. She will bring the excitement to your feed that you didn’t even realise you needed as a self-described “plus model and self-love champion.” LaRosa radiates the inner happiness and self-assurance that we all aspire to.
Her story will definetly make you think of Anne Lamott’s famous quote, “Joy is the best makeup,” and confirms your belief that confidence is an incredibly appealing trait. LaRosa’s excitement and self-assurance are evident in the pictures, but she also includes her own body-positive encouragement in the remarks along with her stylish outfits.
She also has a whole series of movies with her fiance about having a “mixed weight relationship,” which is fascinating and crucial because many women think guys only want to be with women who have a good physique which is absolutely misleading.
Shira Rosenbluth
Years ago, Shira Rosenbluth was mentioned in a Verily article. You will like her colourful feed and stylish looks as well as her ideas on body positivity, eating disorder recovery, and the dangers of diet culture. Because Rosenbluth struggled with an eating problem and works as an eating disorder therapist herself, she fully appreciates how hard it is to live in a world that is concerned with looking a certain way.
She shares her own problems while being bravely open about these subjects and walking the route herself. Shira is your gal if you’re searching for a balanced serving of style, body positivity, and eating-related mental health insights.
Cece Olisa
Cece Olisa, a self-described “curvy girl,” is a Nike ambassador, a speaker on “How to Build Self Confidence” for TEDx, and the co-founder of theCURVYcon, an occasion that brings plus-size influencers and businesses together to network, buy, and spread body positivity. In some of her blogs, she emphasises fashion, while in others, she provides fitness advice and at-home routines.
You will definitely like the fitness-related aspects of Olisa’s account, which dispel the myth that “fitspo” accounts and influencers who support Nike must have a specific appearance. Additionally, Olisa never promotes exercising in order to lose weight or improve your beauty; rather, she demonstrates that women of any shape may exercise in order to feel good.
Kate Baer
People can relate to Kate Baer’s brave, funny, and occasionally biting poetry on body acceptance, pregnancy/postpartum body changes, and our culture’s general view of a woman’s physical appearance. She emphasises the constant challenge of attempting to love your body as a woman in a culture that has so many ideas about how it should look again, saying things like, “Body concerns do not suddenly evaporate no matter how much counselling, exercise, or comedy you pour into yourself.
But she definitely addresses this in her writing and actively works to overcome it by showing how the struggle—that inner critic telling you that you aren’t enough—needsn’t be “everything.” Baer’s poetry urge women to accept their bodies, no matter what shape or size they are.
