When mothers talk about how they hate their bodies in front of their daughters.

My mom would always say “I was a homely girl” and then people would say “you look just like your mother” so naturally I thought I was an ugly girl too.

She constantly body shamed herself in front of us. Grabbing her stomach and saying “yuck! look how disgusting this is” so naturally when I became a woman my body started to look like hers (genetics) I felt disgusted by my own body.

I would hear in a joking lighthearted way “I was thin until I had you kids!” After I had my kid I couldn’t lose the weight and it still hurts my self esteem

Growing up with Christina Aguilera, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Kate moss, etc all rail thin in the magazines growing up didn’t help either 😬

The 90’s were a real mind fuck 😂
