Option 3

Identify and describe one message about beauty, weight/body image, food/nutrition, and exercise from your personal experience or culture that you want to share with other women. Why is this "The" important message to share with women Now?



The message that I would like to share with other women from my culture and what was instilled in me as a young lady growing up "You are beautiful inside and out no matter your shape, size or color. Embrace your beauty".  Women face unique challenges in having a positive view of themselves. Even though I was feeling young and beautiful and carefree on the inside, my own distorted self-perceptions around aging and appearance quickly brought me back to the reality of who I was on the outside and how I was supposed to behave. Beauty is about being comfortable in your own skin. It's about knowing and accepting who you are. I would like women to know that it's okay that you can be whatever size you are, and you can be beautiful inside and out. We're always been told what's beautiful and what's not, and that's not right. Accept yourself completely, knowing you possess a combination of qualities. Instead of bringing attention to your weaknesses, view them as gifts to transform into the wholeness of your being.  Let go of striving for perfection and accept your identity. You are a complex being and your physical appearance is one facet of your existence. Every person is beautiful in his or her own way, and I believe people should embrace their natural beauty.

I’m all about embracing your body and enjoying yourself, but I am also aware of the constant pressure to have the perfect body. embrace your body, you must learn to change your body image, which is how you perceive your body, and how you think other people perceive your body. Self-esteem and self-confidence. Embracing your body, to me, is more about accepting the things you cannot change. I also want women to know that no matter her size, shape, or features, every woman has natural beauty. It’s a simple rule we have to love ourselves completely. Beauty is within the eyes of ourselves. My motivation for keeping fit, though, is not to change who I am or alter in a drastic way how I look. I’ve worked hard to accept my flaws and embrace my beauty inside and out.
