Life is Too Short
You've heard it a million times, but now is the time to wake up and think about what that phrase actually means. What would happen if you started being body confident, enjoying the clothes you wear, experimenting with your unique style, smiling when you look in the mirror?
Would it make you more confident at work, at life and in social situations too? Take a moment to think about the impact being body confident (or not), has on you.

No One is ‘perfect’ Anyway
Why do you feel negative about your body? Because you don't look like AIRBRUSHED and PHOTOSHOPPED images that are plastered across female magazines? I've found the answer: ditch the magazines.

You're Holding Yourself Back
If you're not body confident, you can't enjoy life to the max! It holds you back! Have your own mini photo shoot with a friend – have some fun and get snapping ladies!

You Need to Be a Role Model
You need to be a ROLE MODEL for the next generation. Are you a mother? Do you want your child growing up thinking they are ‘fat’ or ‘ugly’, or seeing them forever on diet after diet? Put an end to the negativity NOW!

Meaning is not what you start with but what you end up with.
Be Happy
Being body confident will make you HAPPY. That's the whole point, isn't it?

Learn to Love Fashion Again

Feel Less Stressed
How many times a day do you look in the mirror and wish you looked different? How many times do you pull a face when you get dressed in the morning? Do you endlessly struggle with your weight and how you see yourself? Well STOP worrying and start LIVING. Accept your body for what it is and learn to love it for all your good bits. Wobbly bits and all! It’s what makes you you!

With your new found Body Confident you can put yourself out there and have the confidence to meet new people and make new friends! Perhaps you’ll share your secret with them too.
I could go on and on, but hopefully I've left you with enough to think about for one day.
