Body Positive Power
Body Positive Power: How to stop dieting, make peace with your body and live | Megan Jayne Crabbe
IF YOU'RE TIRED OF BEING AT WAR WITH YOUR BODY, THEN THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU. We've been convinced that happiness is something that only comes once we hit that goal weight, get those washboard abs, shrink ourselves down and change every part of ourselves. We believe that our bodies are the problem, but this is not true. Its how weve been taught to see our bodies thats the problem... It's time for us all to stop believing the lies we've been fed about what it means to be beautiful, and take our power back. Megan's body image issues began when she was five years old. She spent her childhood chasing thinness, and at fourteen found herself spiralling into anorexia. After recovery she spent years dieting, binging, losing and gaining weight. But then she found body positivity, quit dieting, and finally escaped the cult of thin. Now she's determined to let as many people as possible know the truth: that we are all good enough as we are. With her inimitable flair, whip-smart wit and kickass attitude, Megan argues for a new way of seeing ourselves, and a world where every body is celebrated. Where there is no such thing as a bikini body diet and 97% of women dont hate the way they look. A powerful call to arms as much as it is inspirational and practical, this book is the life-changing answer youve been looking for.

I wish I would've come across this earlier in my recovery. Even now I felt so seen and understood, at some points I had to stop because what Megan is talking about was exactly what was going on in my mind and life. This book is like a hug from a close friend and I think that's what Megan went for. What I especially love are her tipps to accept and appreciate one's belly more. I really need to do these, since I'm still struggling...

Last year, I made a habit of screen-shotting images, memes, posts, and sayings that moved me or strengthened me in some way. Then for Christmas, I had them printed like business cards and gave sets to my two best friends as a reminder that we are powerful, we can persevere, and that there is always someone in our corner. I'm posting some of them here because the same goes for you!

LoverOfLearning I love this quote. So empowering, 💝 💝 4y

I didn't think I'd like this one that much (I'm usually not about "self-help" books), but so far, so good.

Heyas, sorry I haven‘t been around much. Things are incredibly bad with my boyfriend. He is only actual human I have contact with besides my mom. I love him soo much. I haven‘t been eating much. I actually wanted to start throwing up again, but then I remembered I have this book out from the library. I follow her on Instagram and she is fantastic. I may wimp out and read a mind- numbing graphic novel again, but it‘s the thought that counts, right?

JoScho Michelle you hang in there! You take care of your mind and body. Sending love 💕 5y

" Imagine if tomorrow all the images changed. No more Photoshop. No more exclusion. Real diversity and real bodies displayed for all the world to see. Imagine every person being able to open a magazine or turn on their screens and see themselves represented, see bodies just like theirs being celebrated as beautiful and worthy of cover pictures or leading roles. I think the effect on our self-esteem would be undeniable."

Stacy_31 I follow her on IG and love seeing her body positive posts!! 5y

Oh my goodness Liz! What an amazing care package! BPP has been at the top of my want list for the longest! And yes yes yes to Child Free and Lovin‘ It! The mug is straight up amazing and so many self care items-bath bomb, face masks, cocoa, mug cake, and popcorn. The scarf is fabulous. I am using this and you as my grateful post today. I am grateful for beautiful friends that lift your spirit and remind you of the beauty in the world. 💖🤗💖🤗💖
