Girls, do you think that "body positivity" means accepting your body as is or accepting it's limits?

Basically, do you think it means that you're happy with your body no matter what kind of shape you're in or do you think it means striving to be fit, healthy and beautiful while at the same time realizing that the standard set by social media is one the vast majority of us can never attain?

Accepting your appearence

Accepting your limits

Body positivity should be about acceptance and making aware of different body types BUT that doesn't mean it's okay to stay in an unhealthy state.. may it be obesity or anorexic! Accepting your body is one thing but wanting to do better, becoming more healthy is another thing.


And honestly seems like the body positivity movement is just a bunch of obese woman, making up excuses to stay obese and unhealthy.
And don't get me wrong here like if you say you wanna stay obese for that and this reason, okay cool, your body your decision but don't lie to yourself and hatefully blame everything and everyoneelse for you not wanting to change or put in effort

I ain't saying go look like a model, average body types should be hyped more for men and women and you're beautiful with scratch marks and etc but I will never support unhealthy body types.

There's nothing wrong with setting high standards. The problem is that we're bombarded with unrealistic standards.

In fact while I think part of why so many women diss others for being proud of their bodies is down to jealousy, it's not about being jealous of her appearance; it's thinking that if I can't be confident enough to celebrate my body because I'm comparing myself to what I see on my phone, other women shouldn't.

Body positivity is about accepting things about how you look that are beyond your control. Things like deformations, physical handicaps, scars, etc... Body positivity is NOT about excusing bad choices and poor health.
