She felt like she didn't measure up to the idealized images of models and celebrities in the media, and as a result, she developed a negative relationship with her own body.
Maya looked around the circle. She saw a teenager weeping softly as an older woman held her hand—some private grief being witnessed without judgment. She saw two men playing a quiet game of chess, their prosthetic limbs resting side by side. She saw a mother nursing an infant, her body doing exactly what it was made to do. Body positivity asks us to stop viewing our
