I believe it is so important for women to feel comfortable in their bodies, without wanting to change every single thing about their bodies to find that comfort.
In her book "Hunger," Roxane Gay emphasizes the vital need for women to embrace their bodies as they are. She argues that the pressure to conform to societal beauty standards leads to discomfort and dissatisfaction. Gay believes that true comfort comes from self-acceptance rather than striving for unattainable ideals that often promote unrealistic changes.
By highlighting this perspective, Gay encourages women to find peace within themselves and appreciate their natural forms. She advocates for a mindset shift that focuses on self-love and acceptance, rather than the often overwhelming desire to alter one’s appearance for external validation.
