Maybe we’ve got self-love all wrong. Maybe the a

Maybe we’ve got self-love all wrong. Maybe the answer isn’t just in how we treat ourselves, but in how we treat others too. Maybe instead of focusing all our energy inwards, learning to accept our body as it is, for all that it does for us, we should spend some of that energy focusing outwards too. Maybe we should start to tackle fatphobia, ableism, discrimination of people in marginalised bodies. Maybe if we started to break down the cultural ideas and social norms that perpetuate this type of discrimination and make body hate so normalised, we wouldn’t need to work so hard on loving ourselves as we are in the first place. Self-love is important, sure. But it means nothing if it doesn’t come with love, kindness, respect and compassion for other humans too (and not just the humans who look like you). Let’s make 2020 the year of acceptance of others, because maybe, just maybe, that’s the key to also fully, wholeheartedly, unconditionally, accepting ourselves 💕 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Had the most incredible day at @antidietriotclub #AntiDietRiotFest - I was on a panel this morning (shout out to @remi.sade @aishacarrington_ @stylemesunday @verylacey ) and I got to listen to some amazing talks this afternoon. See my Stories for highlights!
PS. This photo was taken last week, not on the train I’m currently sitting on. Although I did flash my entire bum to the 5 packed carriages I walked through when I didn’t realise my dress had ridden up to my waist. So that was fun 😬)

Anyone else dreaming of summer? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Anyone else dreaming of summer? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I did a @skynews interview today on the subject of body image and Love Island, and people doing dangerous things to get the “body beautiful”, all to wear swimwear for a few weeks in the summer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Summer bodies are not made in winter. Bodies are not “made”, full stop. My body is not a work in progress to be moulded and shaped . And I don’t need to spend the dark, cold winter months punishing it in order to be allowed to show my skin some sunshine and wear a bikini a few times in the summer. All bodies are summer bodies (and autumn, winter and spring bodies too). And anyone telling you otherwise just wants your ££££. The end. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I’m dedicating my outfit on tonight’s episode

I’m dedicating my outfit on tonight’s episode of #NakedBeach to the boy in year 9 who called me Little Man for three years because I had short hair and smaller boobs than all the other girls in my year. The younger me cried, felt self-conscious, and then spent all her pocket money on an expensive Wonder Bra. I like to think little me would cheer if she knew those very boobs would be painted as multi-coloured grapefruits and appear on the telly one day.
Tonight. @channel4 - 11pm. Last in the series. Catch up on All4 if 11pm is too late for a school night. Despite the late time slot there’s nothing sexual about the show. It’s a positive boost of body love we all need in the dark dismal diet culture shit storm that is January. (Grapefruit boobs by the amazing @nicoles_bodyart and makeup by the very talented @nadjascalzi)

A picture can tell a thousand lies. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s not just photoshop. It’s angles and poses and corsetry style underwear and glossy lighting. It’s the difference between a selfie taken from above or below, or what happens when you jut your hip out a few extra millimetres. Even if a photo is unedited it will never tell the whole story of the body underneath. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These two photos were taken seconds apart but they are not the same. Know this when you scroll through your feed - for every photo you see there are likely ten others of the same outfit that weren’t used. Don’t believe everything you see in a photo. 💕

Change IS possible 💪 Over the last week I’ve

Change IS possible 💪 Over the last week I’ve heard from a few people who’ve been successful in getting diet ads removed from their kids’ schools 🎉 It’s amazing to hear people are downloading our letter template on the #FreeFromDiets website and using it. Schools shouldn’t even be in a position to have to decide to remove a banner though, because the advertising rules should not allow these diet brands to use schools as a marketing platform for their message in the first place. When the number of pre-teens being treated for anorexia has doubled in the last decade and 1 in 5 kids aren’t raising their hand in class for fear of being judged over how they look, these ads are part of a culture perpetuating damaging myths about ideal body types. It. Must. Stop.
While we work on the powers that be to change the rules, change needs to come from the inside. Which is why we’re developing free workshops for teachers to raise awareness (more on that soon) and relying on you to spread the message too. When you see a banner or your kid brings home a leaflet, challenge it. Send our (very nice, respectful and non-confrontational!) letter. Speak to your school. They are listening - this DM is proof of that ❤️ Swipe to see a brief glimpse into my inbox for what we’re campaigning to end. And then sign the petition and check out more about the campaign at www.freefromdiets.org

I’ll be joined at 8pm tonight in an Insta live with one of our ambassadors - the brilliant @tobyandroo . We’ll chat about why Harriet’s supporting the campaign, her own journey with body image and be answering your Q’s too - if you’d like to submit a Q anonymously just send me a DM today 💕. 2020 is a big year for the campaign and change IS happening, even if it’s not instant.
See you tonight!

The Winter Love Island title credits... if there w

The Winter Love Island title credits... if there was a 36 year old mum of two who’s the “wrong” side of a size 10 in the villa... and the show was shot in Devon... Whether you’re a devoted fan of the show or not, there’s no denying there’s a definite Love Island “look”. And unless you’re under 30, have abs of steel and not a visible stretch mark or patch of cellulite in sight, then you probably won’t see anyone who looks like you on the show. And that’s ok, so long as you know that you’re still worthy of love and loads of people will still think you’re hot AF even if you don’t look like the current cohort of villa residents.
Last year the Mental Health Foundation found nearly a quarter of 18-24 year olds feel reality TV makes them worry about their body image, so if you’ve ever watched Love Island and found yourself berating your body afterwards then you’re definitely not alone.

But remember, YOUR BODY IS NOT THE PROBLEM. And the thing that makes you sexy, attractive, worthy of love? It has nothing to do with your thigh gap or the tautness of your tummy.
If you’re watching it tonight, enjoy the show. And if it makes you feel crap then bookmark this alternative title sequence and consider it your cure for the Love Island body blues 😂🍑🌞 #mumsgonewild #bikiniready #eveninjanuary
