The female body is something that's so beautiful. I wish women would be proud of their bodies and not diss other women for being proud of theirs.
Confidence is sexy! I'm comfortable with my body and not afraid to show it off
I might have a little bit of cellulite. I might not be toned everywhere. I might struggle in this area or that. But accepting that just empowers me.
I love my curves and I embrace them.
Getting my lifelong weight struggle under control has come from a process of treating myself as well as I treat others in every way.
Pledge that you will look in the mirror and find the unique beauty in you.
I think that whatever size or shape body you have, it's important to embrace it and get down!
In every aspect of our lives, we are always asking ourselves, How am I of value? What is my worth? Yet I believe that worthiness is our birthright.
I wrote "Bootylicious" because, at the time, I’d gained some weight and the pressure that people put you under, the pressure to be thin, is unbelievable. I was just 18 and you shouldn’t be thinking about that. You should be thinking about building up your character and having fun and the song was just telling everyone just forget what people are saying. You’re bootylicious. That’s all. It’s a celebration of curves and a celebration of women’s bodies.
, and they could name a handful.
My pregnancy was amazing. I was happy that whole time, I felt good, I had energy, I was like Superwoman. I wish I could feel like that for the rest of my life, that's how fantastic it was.
My limbs work, so I'm not going to complain about the way my body is shaped.
My mom was very much like 'Love your body, love yourself, run around naked....' Whatever we wanted to do, it was very accepting.
I'm never going to starve myself for a part. I don't want little girls to be like, 'Oh, I want to look like Katniss, so I'm going to skip dinner.' That's something I was really conscious of during training, when you're trying to get your body to look exactly right. I was trying to get my body to look fit and strong-not thin and underfed.
I obviously want to give a healthy body image to my own daughter. I think having good examples, eating properly, that's all one can do - and just be really loving around her. I've tried to give her confidence in who she is. I think she's all right in the confidence department.
I can do everything skinny girls can do, trust me. I honestly think Hollywood is getting real. They're saying, 'Hey this is what a lot of America looks like,' a lot of America doesn't wear a size 2. I think the studios and the media are starting to realize that overweight people want something they can relate to, so let's give it to them.
I get a lot of flak for it... people saying [my body] is not normal for a girl... But I'm okay with it. I think it's because I was a gymnast for eight years, from ages four to 12. My body was made before my bones were fully grown. Gymnasts are short, stocky, muscular powerhouses.
I don't feel like my work is dependent on my size. I feel like my work is dependent on the fact that I'm an everywoman. I'd be an everywoman if I lost 20 pounds or if I gained 50 pounds, because of my attitude and it's my relationship to the world and the fact that like I have two front teeth that are bigger than the rest of my teeth.
Each individual woman's body demands to be accepted on its own terms.
For years I exercised to be thinner, and I never got the results I wanted. Now I determine my weight by how my clothes feel.
Fashion is killing women's body image of themselves.
To set the record straight, I’m not upset for me, but for all the girls out there that are struggling with their body image.
For a woman, body image is always a palpable thing. Weirdly, for me, the only time I don't care is when I'm in character.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, get it out with Optrex.
I think the body image thing, everybody can identify with that. In our culture there's just so much pressure and so much attention placed on the way we look. You just turn on the TV or flip open a magazine and there's people who don't look like any of us. I think this movie is like, finally, a celebration of reality and of our imperfections. We're not all a size 2 and we're not all a size 0, and you know what? That's OK, because some of us like to eat!
