Body positivity is all about unlearning the societal norm that certain body types are worth being praised, instead of acknowledging that all bodies are equally valuable. It’s also about understanding that each and every person is different and deserves to be comfortable in their bodies without feeling bad or judged. Here are 5 body positive quotes that will boost your self-esteem.

So no matter what you look like, the best thing you can do for yourself is be in love with who you are.
