Body Positivity You can do it, and we’re all here for you. Beauty is at once everything and nothing; it’s what you make it. Fill this with body positivity!
Beauty is an empty canvas for YOU to fill for yourself as you see fit - not based on other people’s ideas, not based on what you *think* is “right,” but rather based solely on who you want to be. There are no ideals, only forms of expression. Submissions can be sent as messages/posts directly to the group. Anonymous submissions can be directed here: http://goo.gl/forms/Oyoc34F60Z
Hey, hey - long time no post! After a long hiatus, JumBodies is back: new and improved! Over the past couple years, we realized that focusing on the body, while important, operated within the very systems we want to subvert and eventually reform. So we’re expanding into the trifecta of body, mind, and soul for a more holistic approach to well-being. We also realize that overemphasizing the body can be triggering and exhausting. We hope that our expanded vision and decentralizing western approaches while honoring individual journeys makes JumBodies more accessible, inclusive, and unique in offering a diverse range of physical, mental, and spiritual experiences of empowerment.
Much Love,
JumBodies

We know it's been a while since we posted something, but this is, just as HelloGiggles states on their Page, perfection.
This woman just smashed our narrow beauty standards with a single Facebook post The very top New Year's resolution for 2015? "Lose weight." Every year, millions of people resolve to get fit, or to drop dozens of pounds, or to get their "perfect beach body." But for the first year ever, Molly Galbraith isn't making any resolutions about her body. Well, perhaps she is — she's res…

Because equality.
But remember: it's not just about weight or “thinness.” People - including men - can struggle with body image issues that involve ANY part of the body. Restricting the conversation to certain aspects of the body narrows the focus of healing completely as well.

Sometimes, it's not about toys and action figures. Sometimes it's about the media. Sometimes it's about the constant barrage of messages and images we are bombarded with every day. Sometimes it's not about the (lower part of) the body at all. Sometimes it's about the face, the toes, or anything in between. Sometimes it's what we hear from those around us; sometimes it's about how they act (towards us). Sometimes it's the unwritten messages that are the most painful. Sometimes it comes from our minds.
Whatever the sources of self-loathing or body-hating thoughts are, they can affect absolutely anyone and sure as hell are some of the most painful ever found.
Someone asked about his body issues, and it made me wonder why he has them. What are we telling people?

“We need to ask our media to stop perpetuating these ridiculous body paradigms. We need to be educating our children to stop looking at bodies as a canvas on which to paint cultural expectations. We need to give ourselves permission to have our bodies, whatever they look like, and to exist inside of them with confidence, purpose, and love.
Now, that’s a body trend I can get behind.”
Exactly.
