Aditi Shrestha Instagram – normalising normal bodies 🙂 i was 11 when i first heard a distasteful comment about my body by a grown up who i considered family, it was the first deep cut on my self worth and similar comments from society, friends and social media on an everyday basis have become a part of my skin.
years have passed but the cycle continues..
today on 8.03.24 i’ve decided to show you my raw & unfiltered self which truly isn’t a brave thing to do and i’m not expecting any medals here. THIS is what a woman’s body looks like, there are millions like me, millions- who have been conditioned from a very impressionable age to carry SHAME through what are supposed to be the most beautiful & empowering years of a woman’s life. We’ve wasted so much time with that mirror in an effort to hide our bodyrolls & counting each pore & acne mark, haven’t we?
and when you FINALLY felt like you cracked the code, of how to conceal everything the world taught you to hate about yourself, suddenly there’s a section of society who’s going to call you out for being “fake” because you don’t chose to put your “flaws” on display, you’re SHAMED for FEELING SHAMEFUL of your own body. What a vicious cycle 🔄
I’ve always taken pride in making my content as real as possible but i’m a human first, with feelings, flaws & childhood patterns that i can’t break out of overnight. I took my own sweet little time to open up about my struggles with body positivity because i DO NOT feel positive about my body all the time, and guess what? NO ONE DOES.
My beautiful #QuirkySquad you have given me wings to fly, and strength to be so authentic that I don’t care about being judged for my body, my diet, my health and most importantly, being shamed for no sensible reason.
Listen to me, take as much time as you want to become comfortable with whatever it is that you have going on with your body. Don’t let society pressurise you into becoming something you’re not even ready for.
There is nothing wrong with our bodies, we change what affects our health and we accept what we can’t change. And most importantly, we DO NOT change for others 🤍 Happy Women’s Day 🌼
