rebeccakym 's review for:
Body Positive Power: How learning to love yourself will save your life
by Megan Jayne Crabbe
This is the only 'body image' book I've picked up, and I am so glad I did.
Everyone needs to read this. Whether you have or have had an eating disorder, any form of body image issues, issues with food or fitness or exercise or have uttered the words 'I hate my body' please, I beg you, read. this. book.
Although I don't necessarily agree with everything Megan discusses (whether that be due to my underlying issues with weight/body image/food etc. that I can't accept certain facts or opinions, or if I genuinely don't agree with her), all of her points are overwhelming harrowing, true and honest.
Some may be harder to come to terms with than others, I know I had to set this down and walk away at times as I did not want to admit that me saying: 'It's not a diet, I just want the scales to say a lower number and for my stomach to be flat,' is a negative mindset and something I do not need to believe in.
We're in 2018; it's time to accept ourselves and everyone else for who we are, on the inside. Tall, short, fat, thin, muscly, curvy, jiggly, black, white, red, glasses, no glasses, braces, spots, clear skin, wobbly knees - none of this matters. Life is about having a good heart and good moral value - nothing else matters.
Megan's bravery, honesty, optimism, humour help bring together an amazing, truthful, self-help book. I admire her for using her own story to help others, whilst not 'forcing' it down our throats. I hope she continues to have happiness and love in her life, because she deserves it as well.
And one more time for the people in the back: WE ARE ALLOWED TO EAT.
