Body Talk BY LILATO. M The way in which we use language to refer to different body shapes and types definitely has got to change. Even the way we talk about our own bodies, or worse, how we allow others to talk about and define our bodies has got to be drastically altered. Health is way far more important than a dress  size. Work towards a healthy Body, not a body type. Our bodies are not to be trends, they are not to be Sexualised nor are they to be shamed. Especially as women. We are so ready to celebrate our milestones and accomplishments, but not as ready to celebrate the body we wore when we were accomplishing them. You are beyond worthy. Let your body know you are grateful for it, that you love it, the way it moves, and looks and feels. Its a masterpiece woven to carry you into every failure and success. Whether you could treat it better, or you are pushing it too hard, Take care of it, and it will take care of you. If your body could talk what would it say to you?
