There has been a lot of talk-in-the-town about body shaming and body image lately. Various influencers through out the world are revealing their flaws and urging people to not try and attain ‘perfection’ that they often see on magazine covers and million of photo-shopped internet images.
What got our attention was this particular Instagram post by Malin Olofsson, a body-positivity fitness blogger from UK who recovered after 15 years of anorexia.
With a following of over 13k, Malin talks about how periods affect a woman. Highlighting the same, she posted an image of herself showing the ‘visual signs of PMS’.
Malin captioned this image saying,
In another post, she talked about body-positivity quoting her own example and how she hated her own body for the longest time.
Periods are hard. They hold the power to destroy one’s self image in more than just physical terms. This message illuminates a beautiful way to make a lot of girls and women around the world understand that they are not alone.
You are worth it.
