We love Amy Schumer for constantly standing up again body shaming [1]. She's not scared about speaking up when called plus-size [2] or for joking about not having a thigh gap [3]. And with a recent Instagram post, we have reason to love her even more than she loves pasta (see the hashtag underneath the first Instagram post, #ieatpastaalot.)
Today's look. You can be sick and not be a size 2 and still feel great about yourself! #sickbutgrateful #thosesheetsdoe #ieatpastaalot [4]
Yes, yes, and yesss! Sorry to hear you're feeling under the weather, Amy, but you still have a solid head about you, and we love this message! Thanks for reminding us to be OK with however we look, to be grateful for our lives and what our bodies can do, and to not just focus on how we look.
Solution areas! Try and only be kind to yourself today. Love yourself like you're your own mother (@nikkiglaser told me that once) [5]
More yes! Say this over and over in your head, write it on your bathroom mirror, and make up a melody and sing it to yourself in the shower! "Try and only be kind to yourself today. Love yourself like you're your own mother." Tattoo this on your brain so whenever you have a negative thought about yourself, melt it away with these powerful words.
