"The work to heal the effects of body shaming is not easy. This is a part of our trauma that we've carried in our bodies for decades. But I'm here to tell you it can get better and we can find ways for the body shaming that we have experienced in the past or in the present to not have such a detrimental impact on our self-image, on our body image, on our self acceptance, or our self love."
