Ladies, You Are Making Me Mad!
Posted by EMMA STEVENS
A guy at one of my shows told me, " Do not say anything to yourself that you wouldn't say to your best friend." Be your best friend!
I love going to shows and seeing all you beautiful ladies try on my designs, but it makes me sad and mad how 95% of you criticize your bodies. We must stop this; it doesn't benefit you or anyone around you.
I have learned so much about women in the past two years and sadly realized that most are unhappy with their bodies.
We are exceptional at bigging up our friends, telling them how great their bum looks, how clear their skin is or how pretty their hair looks, but we never say the same to ourselves. Why?
I have had lovely discussions with many of you at my shows about this subject and my wish to transform everyone's self-image. We give way too much power to negative thoughts, letting them control and define us. Nobody is perfect!
In today's society, there is an unhealthy fixation on other people's lives and appearances with the urge to compare oneself to strangers. Everyone needs to acknowledge that we all struggle with body image and insecurities.
Instead of dwelling on the negative, let's shift our focus to the positive aspects of ourselves.
Instead of focusing on our flaws, we should remember that others see the beauty in us that we don't see ourselves. For instance, that lady you admire over there for her great legs might be thinking how beautiful your eyes are!
Life can be challenging, but by focusing on what makes us happy, making healthy choices and embracing what we have, we can all attain the ultimate look - a genuine and confident smile.
You can also wear fun, flattering clothing that fits your shape, haha.
