Top Self Esteem Body Image Quotes

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Eleanor Brownn

The best way to reach your destination is to just keep going until you get there. — Eleanor Brownn

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Naomi Wolf

Beauty discrimination has become necessary, not from the perception that women will not be good enough, but that they will be, as they have been, twice as good. — Naomi Wolf

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Lisi Harrison

The articles were extremely eye-opening. Not just in Teen Vogue but in Seventeen and CosmoGirl as well. They were all about being yourself, staying natural, loving your body as is, and going green! The messages were the exact opposite of Vik and Viv's.
Hmmmmm.
Frankie turned to face the full-length mirror that was up against the yellow wardrobe. She opened her robe and examined her body. Fit, muscular, and exquisitely proportioned, she agreed with the magazines. So what if her skin was mint? Or her limbs were attached with seams? According to the magazines, which were - no offense! - way more in touch with the times than her parents were, she was suppose to love her body just the way it was. And she did! Therefor if the normies read magazines (which obviously they did, because they were in them), then they would love her, too. Natural was in.
Besides she was Daddy's perfect little girl. And who didn't love perfect? — Lisi Harrison

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Andrew Biss

Telling yourself you like the way you look is easy. Believing it is an entirely different kettle of whales. — Andrew Biss

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Sara Bareilles

The earliest issue I can remember going through was body image issues. I was a chubby little kid and I got made fun of for it. I dealt with horrible, horrible self esteem issues, and I still struggle with that. I think it's what taught me a lot of empathy and compassion, though, but there are those days where I look in the mirror and I still see twelve year old fat Sara. — Sara Bareilles

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Naomi Wolf

The stronger that women grow, the more prestige, fame, and money is accorded to the display professions: They are held higher and higher above the heads of rising women, for them to emulate. — Naomi Wolf

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Naomi Wolf

Aging in women is 'unbeautiful' since women grow more powerful with time, and since the links between generations of women must always be broken. — Naomi Wolf

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Cheri K. Erdman

Even the models we see in magazines wish they could look like their own images. — Cheri K. Erdman

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Carrie Arnold

Eating is not a crime. It's not a moral issue. It's normal. It's enjoyable. It just is. — Carrie Arnold

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Elizabeth Gilbert

Let me ask you something, in all the years that you have ... undressed in front of a gentleman has he ever asked you to leave? Has he ever walked out and left? No? It's because he doesn't care! He's in a room with a naked girl, he just won the lottery. I am so tired of saying no, waking up in the morning and recalling every single thing I ate the day before, counting every calorie I consumed so I know just how much self loathing to take into the shower. I'm going for it. I have no interest in being obese, I'm just through with the guilt. So this is what I'm going to do, I'm going to finish this pizza, and then we are going to go watch the soccer game, and tomorrow we are going to go on a little date and buy ourselves some bigger jeans. — Elizabeth Gilbert

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Antonella Gambotto-Burke

The self-esteem of western women is founded on physical being (body mass index, youth, beauty). This creates a tricky emphasis on image, but the internalized locus of self-worth saves lives. Western men are very different. In externalizing the source of their self-esteem, they surrender all emotional independence. (Conquest requires two parties, after all.) A man cannot feel like a man without a partner, corporation, team. Manhood is a game played on the terrain of opposites. It thus follows that male sense of self disintegrates when the Other is absent. — Antonella Gambotto-Burke

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Stephanie Nielson

I used to never get in a swimsuit. I used to feel so embarrassed about my skin and scars. I'm over that, it wasted too much of my time and I missed out on too much. — Stephanie Nielson

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Caroline George

To cherish my purity and set boundaries are, in my opinion, the highest forms of feminism - a woman who saves her body proves she is strong and secure enough to resist the men who seek to claim her, that she's more than what lies between her legs. — Caroline George

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Simone De Beauvoir

To lose confidence in one's body is to lose confidence in oneself. — Simone De Beauvoir

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Michele Jennae

Truth be told, I'm still in awe of her, but I found it easier to relate to her. She really made me see that we are all the same. We all suffer the same feelings of inadequacy because we are not like others, but that's what makes us so special too. — Michele Jennae

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Victoria Vantoch

Most of us know that the media tell us our bodies are imperfect - too fat, to smelly, too wrinkled, or too soft. And, even though we may know it's horseshit, these messages still seep into our brains and mess with our self-esteem. In a media-saturated country where most images of women and men have been photoshopped to perfection, it's hard to find a living supermodel (much less a computer programmer), who doesn't wish she had sexier earlobes or a tighter ass. So, buck up, even the prettiest bombshell has body insecurities. You can spend your life thinking your butt's too big (or your cock's too small) or feeling sexy as hell. Make the choice to appreciate your body as it is. — Victoria Vantoch

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Michele Jennae

The strangest thing was, as beautiful as I found her to be, she admitted that she wasn't always comfortable in her own skin. I found that hard to believe until she explained herself. All of the sudden I was not so much in awe of her but found myself empathizing with her. — Michele Jennae

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Portia De Rossi

If your self esteem really does depend on how you look, you're always going to be insecure. There's no way you can get around it. Even if you get the perfect body, you're going to age. At some point, you have to take control, shift the focus, and decide that who you are, what you can contribute to the world, what you do and say is so much more important than how you look — Portia De Rossi

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Leigh Bardugo

I'd learned to avoid mirrors. They never seemed to show me what I wanted to see. — Leigh Bardugo

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Naomi Wolf

As soon as a woman's primary social value could no longer be defined as the attainment of virtuous domesticity, the beauty myth redefined it as the attainment of virtuous beauty. It did so to substitute both a new consumer imperative and a new justification for economic unfairness in the workplace where the old ones had lost their hold over newly liberated women. — Naomi Wolf

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Anne Lamott

For too long, and despite what people told me, I had fallen for what the culture said about beauty, youth, features, heights, weights, hair textures, upper arms. — Anne Lamott

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Kim Brittingham

We survey lush landscapes with variations not dissimilar to a so-called "imperfect" female body with absolute pleasure
say, an expanse of Irish countryside with grassy rolling hills. But is it really so much uglier when it's made of flesh instead of soil? — Kim Brittingham

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Dalma Heyn

[Women's magazines]ignore older women or pretend that they don't exist; magazines try to avoid photographs of older women, and when they feature celebrities who are over sixty, 'retouching artists' conspire to 'help' beautiful women look more beautiful, ie less than their age...By now readers have no idea what a real woman's 60 year old face looks like in print because it's made to look 45. Worse, 60 year old readers look in the mirror and think they are too old, because they're comparing themselves to some retouched face smiling back at them from a magazine. — Dalma Heyn

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Connor Franta

Forget about self-image and self-judgment. It's about self-love, and no one teaches you that at school. No one teaches you that if you accept and love yourself, nothing and no one can touch you.
This is the only face and body you're ever going to get, so be comfortable and happy in it. Own it. Own every aspect of who you are and present it to the world with the utmost pride. — Connor Franta

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Lauren Bacall

I think your whole life shows in your face and you should be proud of that. — Lauren Bacall

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Germaine Greer

Every woman knows that, regardless of all her other achievements, she is a failure if she is not beautiful. — Germaine Greer

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Maddy Malhotra

There is no dictionary in the world that includes the words 'skinny' or 'fat' under the definitions of 'beautiful' and 'ugly'. So, focus on being healthy and stop the self-criticism. — Maddy Malhotra

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Elizabeth Berkley

Girls' inner critics are starting to reveal themselves at a younger and younger age. And body image issues are an aspect of their lives which is causing them low self esteem and day-to-day suffering. — Elizabeth Berkley

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Naomi Wolf

Beauty' is a currency system like the gold standard. Like any economy, it is determined by politics, and in the modern age in the West is is the last, best belief system that keeps male dominance intact. — Naomi Wolf

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Miya Yamanouchi

Stop making someone else's looks your "#goals". By all means aspire to be a better version of your current self, but don't glorify others when you yourself are glorious. — Miya Yamanouchi

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Stella Young

Self esteem and a healthy body image for people with disabilities are so often hard-fought. — Stella Young

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Carol Lee

My parents never recognized the things that for me were achievements. I was praised for the things that came naturally to me, like my intelligence, but when I really put all my effort into looking nice (trying to), it went unrecognised. No-one ever told me I looked pretty or nice, or that I was a beautiful person (to them) and I needed them to... — Carol Lee

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Cheri K. Erdman

Healthy emotions come in all sizes. Healthy minds come in all sizes. And healthy bodies come in all sizes. — Cheri K. Erdman

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Leonard Nimoy

There are studies that tell us that stress and lack of self-image, lack of self-esteem, severe dieting, binge dieting and binge eating can also be very damaging to a body and bring on various kinds of abnormalities. — Leonard Nimoy

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Susan Renee

Sometimes the ugliest parts of ourselves are what others love the most. — Susan Renee

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Helen Brown

Then there was the realisation that I didn't actually feel that much better when I was thin(ner). In fact the 'thin' version felt worse because I lived with hunger clawing at my stomach all the time, and in fear that I was going to get fat again. After years of neuroticism I'd finally understood those who loved me would continue to put up with me fat or thin, and those who didn't ignored me. As a middle-aged woman I was pretty much invisible anyway. To pass unnoticed through an image-obsessed society is surprisingly liberating. — Helen Brown

Self Esteem Body Image Quotes By Naomi Wolf

Women have face-lifts in a society in which women without them appear to vanish from sight. — Naomi Wolf
