Thought provoking and deeply moving. I took some time to read this, because I normally just run through books but I wanted to really reflect on what was said. I have struggled with my body image all my life and while I logically knew that my body shape and weight was very normal, it didn’t feel normal to me. I am slowly healing and find that loving myself makes such a big difference, but there are still days when I hardly know how to dress or how to feel because all I feel is too much of the wrong things. Emma gives a good overview on how we got to where we are and shares her thoughts on what beauty ought to look like. I think I’ll need to read this again to fully grasp what she is saying. This really changed my perspective for the better and gave me more confidence to embrace my body.
