What's The Big Fat Deal

This website is so powerful!! Women who are feeling down about thier bodies should look at what some of these women have to say. It was fun and interesting to read what these women wrote about their bodies and how they came to be so positive about them. I believe and this website shows how important it is for women to empower other women. How important it is to have a positive image so that the women around you have the option to see someone with high self esteem in regards to their bodies. Women are taught not to like their bodies but if more women start talking positively maybe those will influence others and eventually we can overcome the terrible image that the media has given us about our bodies. The section on the website "10 ways to be a body positivity advocate" is so important and every woman should read it!! You are beautiful tell the world!!

  1. This site sounds very interesting. I think it would be a positive site to show teenage girls in a health class. It would be neat to help break some of the stereotypes.

  2. I think empowerment from other women is a very important thing. I think that things like body image support are important when someone is struggling with themselves. I know that having someone there with you to talk to or just for moral support is a big help when going through any problem, so it would be especially helpful in a situation where someone needs help with their body image.
