Body shaming is everywhere—online, in conversations, even in the way we sometimes look at ourselves in the mirror. But here’s the truth: you don’t need permission from strangers to love yourself. Their opinions don’t define you unless you let them.
If there’s something you genuinely want to change about yourself—whether it’s your health, your mindset, or even your appearance—then take steps toward that goal. Change can be powerful when it comes from you, not from the weight of other people’s words.
But while you’re on that journey, remember this: love yourself now. Not later. Not only when you hit the goal. Self-love isn’t about perfection; it’s about refusing to let the noise of others drown out your own voice.
Don’t let someone else’s judgment become your own reflection.
You are worth more than an opinion.
