Clothing Sizes and Body Image

Clothing Sizes and Body Image

THESE JEANS ARE ALL THE SAME “SIZE” ACCORDING TO THE TAGS.

Now visually we can tell that of course these jeans are not physically the same size as each other.

So even though you may be a size [something] in one brand, doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with your body when the size doesn’t fit right elsewhere. Using arbitrary sizes to judge your body will likely lead you feeling upset and frustrated. Our bodys change from day to day, hour to hour. This is natural, normal, and healthy! We are dynamic and organic beings, rather than static machines.

With that being said, we recognize it can be hard to accept your body, or to accept that your body will change. We recognize that from a young age, many of us have been taught to feel a certain way about our bodies - such as it “needs” fixing. Therefore, it can be difficult to accept that your body doesn’t need to fixing. Instead, it likely needs compassion. So…

REMEMBER.... the clothes are meant to fit YOU. And not the other way around!

Acceptance First

In order to change something we must first accept it as it is. Acceptance does not equate to condoning or agreeing with the situation. But rather, acceptance is acknowledgement without judgement that this is the situation. Once we can accept this is our situation, then we can move forward with changing the situation.
