In a relatively short span of time, the body positive movement has morphed from a quirky idea that few were familiar with, into a mainstream concept whose presence is found in our every day.

From body image activists disrupting social norms, to front page stories, heated online discussions and even shaping our use of language. Terms like ‘body image’ and ‘body acceptance,’ once unheard of, now grace the lips of popular body positive advocates, plus size models, social media influencers and perhaps even the sleep-deprived post partum mum, navigating the minefield of accepting her changing body.   

Overwhelmingly, it’s images of thin young white women with the ‘right’ amount of toned muscle.​

For many women, stepping on the scale can be a source of discomfort - even a downright awful experience.
 
What if you could change that?
