Tag: blaming parents

Leave them parents alone!

I hear a lot of people talk about their upbringing in a certain way. It gives us an anchor. Helps … More

ancestral programming, blaming parents

Well yesterday's post went down like a lead balloon. It was literally #tooheavy... #irony #ironic. . I had an inspirational chat with a good friend/client of mine recently... that really solidified a few things for me. You can find it on today's blog. It and the petition are in my bio link. . . This campaign has been repeatedly over-looked by some of the figureheads of this #bodypositive movement which has left me head-scratching. I can't form any conclusions as I don't have enough information. But as I told another crusader yesterday, it doesn't really matter if what you're putting down they aren't picking up. As long as it's true for you. And it's true for me. I would like to see more bodies in the world around me. Largely imposed by the advertising industry. And I'd like to challenge their disengenious stance of advertising's "impact -if any" on this subject. . . We are all flowers. Smelling the roses is important but I don't just want to smell roses for the rest of my days or be lead to believe all other flowers are weeds! #ohmydaze! #ohmydays #smelltheroses #advertising

Perfect sentiment for the @BodEquality campaign... #petitioninbio . #Repost from @ny.works with @regram.app ... “We are taught as women to hate our bodies. To hide them. And in some cases that they aren’t ours. Showing too much of your body is “asking for it” but not showing enough isn’t attractive. We are taught to be at war with it from a young age. It needs to be thin, but not too thin. It needs to have curves, but not too many curves. It’s needs to be fit, but not too fit. It will be ridiculed for all of its flaws. We should fix all of those flaws, or at least keep them hidden. Nobody wants to see your belly rolls, loose skin or stretch marks. They are deemed ugly. I say f*** that. I’m not going to hide my body to make others feel comfortable. I’m not going to be ashamed of it. I’m not asking for it by showing it. My body is mine to live in and I won’t spend my life being at war with it anymore. I earned all of these “flaws” and I embrace every single one of them.” - @capricious_fitness #allbodiesaregoodbodies

A few weeks ago when I was talking to a representative of the Committee for Advertising Practice, it became clear to me how thorny this issue is. We talked about what WOULD actually change the protocol of advertising, say when smoking/cigarette adverts got banned. The response - they want empirical evidence especially relating to 'economic burden'. I asked have they done any research? The reply. No. Well here's some figures for them... However on reviewing their literature around policy-making, even when you do submit evidence it is rebuffed... . Their maxim... 'If an ad is wrong the Advertising Standards Authority is here to put it right'. Swipe left. It seems that isn't the case if they themselves are held in contention for contributing to the problem. As an aside, the policy-makers at the Codes of Advertising Practice (who inform the ASA) are overwhelmingly... men. Also I always thought they were impartial... 🤔 not a board of invested advertising parties... #signthepetition #linkinbio

From @raiche_x an incredible inspiration and advocate in the world of body positivity. Check out the link in her bio for a BBC show all about her journey: I did a shoot in my UNDERWEAR and Im loving my Bridget Jones knickers. My scars are exposed and they all represent a different part of my recovery. It took me a long time to be body confident , but these scars are a part of me and I hope that I can inspire others to not be ashamed of what makes them different, but embrace it. 💕 @photostew 📸✨ #bodyconfidence #burnsawareness #beauty #plussize #curvy #fashion #beburnsaware #labelsareforclothes #scars #embrace #bodyconfidence #bodypositive #positivethinking #mondaymotivation #bodygoals #blackmagic #redefinebeauty #faceequality #scarrednotscared #iwd2018 #scarstory #portraitpositive #beautystandards #bodydiversity #melanin
