Body Image Movement
Global Ambassador
The Body Image Movement was started by Taryn Brumfitt, a woman who had changed her body to meet media standards only to realise it made her even more body obsessed than before. Since posting a controversial ‘before and after’ photo on social media her message of being body confident has spread worldwide.
Women everywhere are comparing their bodies to what they see in the media and the repercussions of this are in many cases catastrophic. Ladies all over the world are bombarded with photographs of photoshopped models, if you open any mainstream magazine all the photos have been retouched and we are aware of
this, yet it is difficult to not dream
of a body just like the ones we see
daily. Taryn’s message is that we
should not fall into the trap of
idolising the media standards of
how women should look but
embrace our individual body types
and love our bodies the way they
are.
