Good Lifestyle

Megan Jayne Crabbe Has a long personal story of rejecting your own body, including body shaming. It started as she was just five years old. As she reminds himself in an early interview, she also began to compare her weight with that of her classmates at her first school day. She found out that she could be "chubby" and began the war with her body, which would take many many years.

Hard diet since early childhood

Her real diet began when she was only 10 years old. At first she confessed her parents that they just wanted to have a healthier lifestyle, but in fact they found that their new eating habits were nothing healthy. Soon after, at the age of 14, she was finally diagnosed with an eating disorder with which she was fighting for a very long time until she was early 20. She was so focused on her food that it seemed, as if she could worry about anything else, especially not around the school or a career in general.

Accept oneself

20 years and over a million Instagram followers Later, Megan Jayne Crabbe is an example of Body Positivity nowadays. It is more than a glamorous influencer; Your opinion is often asked as a consultant and supporter of public campaigns against Body Shaming. Recently she was invited to a parliamentary debate and promised to consider "fat phobia" as a form of prejudice that must be punished by law.

Her story itself is a journey of acceptance of your body. For almost two decades, she struggled against her natural body type, was diagnosed with anorexia and often spent time in psychiatric clinics. At the age of 21, she finally reached its target weight, although her private and professional life was a failure - she broke off the college and the university. But her luck was only short duration, because she continued to hate deeply.

Her history of self-hatred ended as she finally realized that the eating disorder controlled her and she had to find a way to continue with her life.

Help from social media

She found comfort while surfing the social media. There she could find women who did not seem ashamed as they were and which natural - albeit curvies - characteristics they had. When they shuddered through more and more Instagram profiles of unmoved women who proudly showed their bodies, she became something clear that she had hardly understood when the anorexia she controlled: you can actually wear a bikini and show the world , even if you do not have the perfect dimensions. She confessed that it was the first time she realized that this was also an option. It was an option that did not expect.

She not only decided to stop with the eternal diet plans and bumping against himself, but also took the Instagram to share messages about Body Positivity. As Bodyposipanda, she now wants to influence other young women around the world so they stop ashamed and celebrate their bodies in all forms.

A new view

Megan Jayne Crabbe aims to redefine the way people to re-define the other in their contributions and frequent public utterances. It encourages to use a diverse vocabulary when it comes to describing weight, both yourself as well as the other.

Now she uses every opportunity to promote her cause. Today she is very active as a model, book author, spokeswoman, dancer or activist. No matter how diverse their activities are, the red line, which unites all their open activities, is to counteract the diet culture and encourage women to positively accept their body.

As always, their positions are inspired by their own experiences and the difficult times in which they hated themselves deeply. In their opinion, our bodies are not our problem, but our culture that promotes unrealistic body representations and forces women and girl to follow these superficial standards. Ultimately, such efforts not only damage the health of the body, but also the soul. Above all, mental health is endangered by such self-hating practices, she says. If someone wants to start a diet, that's the beginning of a lack of respect for your own body, which opens the self-hass generous door and gate. Earlier or later, this hurts the self-esteem and represents many challenges for mental health.
