Just finished reading @joannvdherik ‘s book ‘Joann’s weg naar zelf liefde’. It was so relatable what she wrote. From being insecure, hating your body, comparing how you look with how the people around you look and always feel less worthy, to people telling you at a really young age that you should lose some weight. That last part got me thinking... How insane is it that we give children the feeling that they are not good enough at such a young age, that they have to change, have to lose weight. It is SO TOXIC. That feeling of being not good enough stays with you forever... And your relationship with food will be toxic and complicated from a young age. We need to teach people/children to love themselves and give them the freedom and the trust to be who they are. To have a healthy relationship with food, not a relationships full of restrictions. Because from the moment you start looking at food in terms of ‘bad’ and ‘good’ it’s getting worse and worse and worse. Teach them that it’s okay that everybody and every body is different, looks different. There is not one good or right way to look. Just be yourself and be kind to yourself and the people around you! 💕 Thank you for writing this book @joannvdherik . So relatable, with such an important and beautiful message. You are such an inspiration, thank you! 💕 • • • #selflovejourney #bopowarrior #youdontneedtobeskinnytobepretty #selflove #confidencecorner #bodypositivity #goldenconfidence #bopo #selfloveadvocate #selflovequotes #beyourself #lovetheskinyourein #youareworthy #hunkemöller #plussizebeauty #plussizeblogger #discoverunder10k #dutchblogger #loveyourself #curvesarebeautiful #allbodiesaregoodbodies #allbodiesarebeautiful #normalizenormalbodies #normalbodies #curvesfordayz #bodyimage #badbodyimage #womenempowerment #zelfliefde
