From Serena Williams on celebrating her body to EmmaWatson‘shealthy attitude about imperfections, ahead are their inspiring, confidence-boosting words.
“Life is too short, and I’m Italian. I’d much rather eat pasta and drink wine than be a size 0.”
“I remind myself to be kind to myself, and as slightly ridiculous as it may sound, to treat myself in the same gentle way I’d want to treat a daughter of mine. It really helps.”
“I love my body. I’m very much OK with it. I don’t think artists are ever the ones who have the problem with their weight, it is other people."
“I’m not going to conform, and hurt myself, and do something crazy to be a size two."
“I love my body, and I would never change anything about it. I’m not asking you to like my body. I’m just asking you to let me be me.”
“It doesn’t matter what size you are. It doesn’t matter if you have cellulite. It doesn’t matter if things jiggle where they’re not supposed to. That’s still beautiful.”
“I always feel confident. I never allow myself to not feel confident.”
“God made a very obvious choice when he made me voluptuous; why would I go against what he decided for me? My limbs work, so I’m not going to complain about the way my body is shaped.”
“I keep telling myself that I’m a human being, an imperfect human who’s not made to look like a doll, and that who I am as a person is more important than whether at that moment I have a nice figure.”
