Oh Mindy, how we love thee! She brings up an important point: It's incredibly common to hear a girl or woman call herself "fat” or “chubby.” Sometimes they mean it disparagingly -- "Ugh, I look so fat today!" or "I feel chubby today" (like chubby is a feeling?) -- and other times it's just a pretty neutral statement about their perceived body size "I'm a cute, chubby girl." When we respond to those comments with "You're not fat -- you are beautiful!" we are setting up "fat" as the opposite of "beautiful," which makes sense when so many of the cultural messages we receive throughout our lives do just that. ✖️But what if we didn't perpetuate that unending myth that thin = beautiful and desirable and successful and healthy and all good things forever? What if we responded to "Ugh, I look fat!" with "Your body is an instrument not an ornament and you are amazing!" What if we replied to neutral statements on body size like Mindy's with "You are the coolest. What's going on in your life?" or anything else that leaves body size as a thing that doesn't even need to be dwelled upon or commented on or on a pedestal for all to worship. When we begin to see women as more than bodies, the look of bodies become one of the less interesting parts about us. Yeah, our bodies are visible, but they aren't just here to be looked at -- they are instrumental. They help us DO and SERVE and BE in all the ways we need to show up for a world that needs us. ✖️When we tear apart the myth that tells us beauty is the most important thing about us, it gives us courage and confidence and capacity to live outside of the confines of narrow beauty ideals. We can begin to live without that constant fear of being looked at or fear of *not* being looked at. We're all deserving and capable of being loved -- regardless of how we look or how we think we look.

The image-focused nature of the internet can confuse us about what it means to have confidence in your body and yourself. On the internet, body confidence and female happiness tends to look like wearing a swimsuit or sports bra and leggings and posting pics, but confidence doesn’t have to look like that.It might actually look like freedom from worrying about how you look (and that often means you won’t have pics to post online). It might mean the confidence of not having to “prove” your confidence in a pics-or-it-didn’t-happen mentality. It will mean that you go out and LIVE and DO without letting your fear of how you LOOK stop you in your tracks. We can avoid that self-objectifying, self-conscious way of living by getting the focus OFF of how our bodies *look* and onto how we *feel.* What activities, situations, and mental or physical exercises help you feel whole and at peace with your body while getting your mind off of how you look in those moments? It could be lots of things: yoga, meditation, running, singing, painting, focusing on gratitude, or writing. One of those activities for us is swimming. Documenting how we *look* while swimming would ruin an opportunity to forget about that and focus on how we feel. ✔️ If you feel like you're not #empowered or #bodypositive or confident enough if you don't take pics of yourself and share them online, we want to lift that pressure off your shoulders. Your body is an instrument for your use and experience, not an ornament to be admired. If you post pics in your suit, awesome! But NEVER worry that you’re not confident enough if you don’t. ✖️If you are prone to feeling defined by the look of your body, it is helpful to be conscious of who you follow and their impact. You have every right to unfollow or mute anyone that sparks your body fixation. That’s what we do! On our personal accounts, we are careful to not follow content and people that spark self-objectifying thoughts. We mute or unfollow anything (even from loved ones) that is super body-focused. It makes a HUGE difference for our self-esteem, and will for you. YOU ARE MORE THAN A BODY! Believe it. #morethanabody #seemorebemore #beautyredefined

We see a glaring flaw in the way many people approach female confidence and body image: They think feeling confident in yourself = feeling confident about your looks, and they leave it at that. But -- you are SO MUCH MORE than your appearance! Having a positive, healthy body image doesn’t mean you think your body looks good - it means you know your body IS GOOD - no matter how you think it looks. People are now calling this idea #bodyneutrality, which is what we’ve always called positive body image. This quote is the very definition of positive body image! ✖️But too many times, we confuse our feelings about ourselves as women with our feelings about our *looks.* Advertisers and influencers selling stuff really want us to have that limited self-perception so we'll buy their beauty products and services in an endless pursuit to increase our "confidence." That is the essence of self-objectification, which happens when you judge and evaluate yourself from an outsider's view -- monitoring your appearance at all times. • If your self-confidence is controlled by how you think you look at all times, you're destined to be on a never-ending rollercoaster. ✖️Self-esteem and confidence are sooo important, but they are NOT dependent on what you look like, or what you *think* you look like! You can feel great about yourself without thinking you look hot. You start to feel good about yourself by working on *yourself,* not just your appearance. You can get to it by setting and achieving worthwhile goals, developing your skills and strengths, exercising strong character and respecting yourself and others -- not just buying new makeup or wearing a smaller size! You are more than a body, and when you see more, you can be more! •Find our 8-week online Body Image Resilience Course at courses.beautyredefined.org and linked in our bio. •Find our awesome TEDx talk that breaks down our whole pioneering concept of body image linked in our bio! #morethanabody #seemorebemore #beautyredefined

It’s not your job to look good. It’s just not. It’s not hers, either. These words from @caitlynsiehl are so on point. You are *more* than beautiful and more than a body, and so is she. It’s hard to help girls grasp this when so many of their favorite shows, toys, friends, and family prioritize “pretty” over all else, but is so worth it to reinforce to her that SHE OWES BEAUTY TO NO ONE (sorry to yell, but this is important!). When we stop giving beauty the power to make us, we take away its power to break us.When we can see more, we can be more, so help girls and women in your life SEE who they are. Point out their gifts, talent, goodness, humor. Talk to them about their lives and ask them about themselves - don’t just fill the silence with compliments about their pretty outfits and cute faces.

During “The Bachelorette” (guilty pleasure, don’t judge), our 27-year-old friend said, “I have the forehead of a 90-year-old woman!” She DID NOT, but how could she feel any other way? If we compare naturally aging faces to almost any woman on any screen, they look *much* different. And we’ve been taught the differences are SHAMEFUL. Line-less and expression-free starts to look normal and ideal, while real-life, expression-full faces look abnormal and wrong. ➕If you're freaked out about those wrinkles by your eyes and mouth, the lines on your forehead, the skin on your neck, or your naturally gray hair, that's exactly what the the billion-$$ anti-aging industry is banking on. They've convinced us (and media makers) women don't deserve to be seen after about age 40, and if they are seen, their skin must be injected, stretched, lasered, and photoshopped beyond recognition. Women over 40 are wayyyy underrepresented in all media and older men appear as much as 10x more! When older men are featured, their girlfriends and wives are most often decades younger. + And ever compared male news anchors to females? Men are allowed to visibly age and it’s “stately” while women face serious pressure to maintain their “youth” through products and procedures. Their careers are on the line if they don’t abide by these sexist rules. ✖️Look around in real life. We hope you'll see the wonderful, human reality that is the gift of growing older, no matter how different it makes us look from the ideals we're surrounded by. We hope you'll consider preserving your own beautiful reality for the people in your life who need to see that their own aging faces aren't wrong or abnormal! ▪️For more, check out our Body Image Resilience course, blog, and TEDx talk — all linked in our bio and at beautyredefined.org #morethanabody #seemorebemore #beautyredefined

This is so hard to really believe but SO NECESSARY! (Believe me, I know. I’m halfway through a pregnancy and this post is as much for me as you):THE ONLY WEIGHT WE NEED TO WORRY ABOUT LOSING IS THE WEIGHT OF RIDICULOUS BODY IDEALS. Don’t “get your body back” - TAKE IT BACK. Take it back from every industry and every money-hungry individual behind those industries who target mothers with such dehumanizing drivel as the idea of having to "get your body back” or “lose all the weight plus more by tomorrow.” Your body exists no matter what. It didn’t go anywhere. (It did grow another human body, which is mind blowing, btw). Every bit of stretching and expanding makes you MORE human-not less. You create life and any message asking you to focus on your looks as you enter motherhood (or any time, but motherhood is an especially vulnerable, emotional time) is a mean, desperate lie. PRO TIP at the doctor for checkups: Talk to your doctor about opting out of regular weight ins. I did, and she readily agreed to have me weigh once a trimester to make sure I’m GAINING weight, which she says is the goal. The rest of the time, I don’t look at the scale and I ask that my weight isn’t a topic of discussion unless it needs to be. We are the literal givers of life to every person on the planet and our minds and bodies have been co-opted by industries and ideals that do not care about us, our babies, or our health. They just want our dollars. Massive institutions like the diet and weight loss industry have been built on the backs of mothers whom they ask to quickly fix their bodies for the sake of onlookers. And we buy the lies! ✖️Before we ever get pregnant, we worry endlessly about what pregnancy will do to our bodies and our self-esteem. We diet and restrict during pregnancy to make sure we don't gain "too much weight." We hold tiny babies while anguishing over our bodies. We buy diet pills that will make our hearts pound. We hide our bodies from our partners because of shame. ✖️Take your body back from these lies. There is no better time to memorize our #BeautyRedefined mantra: My body is an instrument, not an ornament! #morethanabody #seemorebemore

All the fist pumps for @jessicaknollauthor’s takedown of wellness culture in the @nytimes! She speaks our language and we are HERE FOR IT. We need people to be discerning about the profit-driven diet culture that never has our best interests in mind and keeps us in cycles of restriction and bingeing. We’ve got so much more to do! “I called this poisonous relationship between a body I was indoctrinated to hate and food I had been taught to fear “wellness.” This was before I could recognize wellness culture for what it was — a dangerous con that seduces smart women with pseudoscientific claims of increasing energy, reducing inflammation, lowering the risk of cancer and healing skin, gut and fertility problems. But at its core, “wellness” is about weight loss. It demonizes calorically dense and delicious foods, preserving a vicious fallacy: Thin is healthy and healthy is thin.” Click on the link in our bio to read the whole thing, and then feel free to leave a fist pump in the comments to let Jessica know you’re with her! #beautyredefined #morethanabody #seemorebemore

The other week when we went to Lava Hot Springs I took this pic with Crue and we went swimming. Later that night when I pulled up my photos to look at my pics from the day I saw this one and it makes me so sad to admit that I looked at my legs and felt embarrassed. I felt self conscious that they were bumpy and dimpled and have darker veins. WHY have we been conditioned to think that NORMAL bodies are flawed and something to be ashamed of? It's infuriating and it's sickening. Girls, moms, women, boys and men should NEVER have to look in the mirror and because of social conditioning and the media, feel like we aren't good enough. We are good enough because of what's INSIDE these beautiful bodies. And they are beautiful not because they are slim or muscular or smooth or strong. They're beautiful because they give us the ability to live and to love. So the next time you hear those negative thoughts about your body, stop, and instead think about your life. Think about how because of your body you have a mind that can learn, a heart that can love and lips that can be speak kindness to others. #beautyredefined #motherhood #momof5 #bodylove #selflove #love #9months #9monthspp #postpartum #motherhoodunplugged

THINK ABOUT THIS! We live inside our bodies and have experienced them from the inside all day every day of our lives, but somehow, the thing that totally overpowers our thoughts and feelings about our bodies is how we think they LOOK. It’s like our bodies aren’t part of us, but ALL of us. Of course, there are lots of forces that push us to feel obsessed with our appearance and defined by it, prioritizing an outside view of our bodies. ✖️But what if we could learn to love and respect and value our bodies from the inside -- as our own personal insiders and experts -- not from the outside, projecting our own worst fears of how we look into our ideas about our bodies. That sounds like a big process, but it happens in tiny ways. Practice intentional gratitude for how you experience your body and what it allows you to do and feel. Take inventory of those gifts as you walk or sit or drive or get ready in the morning. When you start getting hung up on how you look (whether you like it or hate it), practice mindfulness to take you back to reality. Challenge thoughts (or outside messages) that spark body anxiety and shame. Is that thought 100% true? What if it isn't? Who benefits from you thinking that way? Would you talk to anyone else that way? Would you want your younger self thinking like this, and what would you tell her instead? You can also tap into mindfulness and get a boost of empowerment through memorizing and repeating truths like "my body is an instrument, not an ornament" or "I do not exist to be looked at" or "I am more than a body" or "My appearance is the least interesting thing about me *or* my body.” Your body is good. Regardless of how it looks. Regardless of how you feel about it. Regardless of how it works. Your body is a miraculous vessel, vehicle, instrument -- however you want to think of it. But it does not exist to *look* a certain way, so we have to stop evaluating it that way. Be an insider in your relationship with your body, not an outsider looking in. Need more of this?
