Aces @bootsuk! Your coverstar doesn't need a thing! Great to see more high street brands flying the flag for #BodEquality #realbeauty Brand consultation available... how is your brand adapting for a #bodypositive future?

Don't sign the petition it's finished🤪 This was an interesting piece of research I found. WE have to do the work. We have to form and implement the filters and teach our kids how to do the same. Get filtering folks! And by filtering I'm thinking we mean 'reality filtering' the media. Adjusting my eyes to the age, shape, location, colour, tone, glow of the form in front of me. Reminding myself that it's a mirage... takes a millisecond these days. Do you do that? #realityfilter #healthyshift #positivemoves #bodyimage

Time for a fresh start. Inhale. Exhale 😁

Oh my word! Only 14 supporters away from hitting 100 on the Thunderclap. (Link in bio) The support of 86 of you in one day is phenomenal! But we need 14 more! So we can show adverts they need to change, be more inclusive and reflect a better version of reality. Check out the stats: .. .. The average person views 500 adverts a day The ideal body image is unattainable by 95% of the population 81% of ten year olds are afraid of being fat Eating disorders cost the economy £16.8 billion per year Anorexia has the highest mortality rate than any other mental illness An impossible standard has been set... “Mass media transmit the ideas, values, norms, attitudes and behaviours that socialize and construct the social reality of those who use them for a wide variety of reasons." (Bryant & Oliver, 2009) “People are often unaware – and mass media work hard to keep it that way – of the extent to which, and just exactly how mass media play an important role in promoting consumerism, body objectification and internalisation of the current beauty ideal.” (López-Guimerà et al, 2010) "Negative body image is common among women and can have serious consequences across key areas of living including psychological and physical health (e.g. disordered eating, physical inactivity), social life and relationships (e.g. social anxiety, avoidance of social activities), and education and work (e.g. curtailed academic achievements and career aspirations" Alleva 2018 Feelings of body dissatisfaction have been linked to critical physical and mental health problems and form a significant predictor of low self-esteem, depression and obesity (Grabe et al 2007, Johnson & Wardle, 2005; Numark et al, 2006; Paxton et al, 2006;Tiggeman, 2005) 50% of girls report being dissatisfied with their bodies, regardless of size, (Grabe, 2008) “Viewers begin to accept media portrayals as reality" (Gerbner, Gross & Morgan, 2002) “Because the media presentations of women’s bodies are so skewed, showcasing an ideal out of reach to most, adopting this reality may lead to decreased satisfaction with one’s own body."(e.g. Levine & Harrison 2004) #supportthethunderclap & #signthepetition Thank you @positivelyperfectuk

A huge thank you to those who have helped the and those who the collaboration has introduced me to @bethywillis @rachelperu1 @vivss_x @molliecampsie @raulsamuel_official @joeybevan @orcin.g @andreaboutin @dxve_fxdd @brettmorseoly @sayhellojess_ @fatgirlfashioninspo @danielle_esprit @hynes_leanne @ukpsfw @be_real_campaign @plussizeuk.sharl @lucasmarmitage If you do have 2 seconds to spare there is a Thunderclap campaign (link in bio) finishing tomorrow at 12.30pm (Friday 6th July) which will focus the spotlight on this cause. Because who doesn't want to see a greater body diversity in adverts, more attainable, varied, realistic images right? We can do this! It will feed back directly yo the Advertising Standards Public Consultation at the end of the month. Thanks folks!
