BODY CONFIDENCE COMES IN ALL SIZES…JUST ASK LIZZO

-

POP star of the moment Lizzo breaks the mould in terms of not conforming to the superskinn­y standards expected of female celebritie­s.

Some people accused her of ‘promoting obesity’ last week when she posted some admittedly eye-popping images of her bikini-clad body. But the 31 year-old Grammy winner sets a wonderful example to selfconsci­ous girls, showing that confidence comes in all shapes and sizes.

There is no proof that pictures of obese individual­s make others start overeating.

What we do know is that poor body image, low self-esteem and disordered eating pose serious risks to both physical and mental health.

And if seeing another body, just like yours, provides relief, then I’m all for it.
