Promote Body Acceptance

The Century Project, by photographer Frank Cordelle, is a chronological series of nude photographic portraits of more than one hundred women and girls from the moment of birth to nearly a hundred years of age. A diverse group of photographs comprising women of many ages, shapes, sizes, and life experiences is presented in this exquisitely disarming project. Most of the images are accompanied by moving statements written by the women themselves.

The Century Project in its entirety consists of an exhibit, a newly published book titled Bodies and Souls: The Century Project, and this website

I really need to accept my body. I’m never happy with it…no matter what size it is!

Important.

So, thanks to everyone who cheered this goal. :-)

Is there a rule that I can’t cross post my own enteries onto other enteries? Because if there is, too damn bad!

Ok, now that we’ve got that out of the way…..

I just posted an entry that I think falls into more than one category, so…..

Check it out

not just body accepance, so I’m giving this up for now.

I want everyone to know that their body is not the enemy the media and society make it out to be! Your body is wonderful and so are you!

I do this all day, every day.

I want to point out that acceptance is way different than apathy, which I think most people who are unhappy confuse the terms. I’ve known lots of girls to say “well, I’m fat so why should I eat healthy? It’s not going to help.” Or the girls that wear itty bitty clothing because “this is their body and anyone who doesn’t like it, too bad.”

There’s a dangerous difference there that needs to be addressed.

Otherwise, rock on acceptance!

This is a kind of a goal within a goal.

Get as many people as possible to sign this statement of body acceptance that Seventeen magazine came out with.
