The SKIN You're IN

THERE ARE DAYS when IT’S DIFFICULT TO LOOK AT YOURSELF IN the MIRROR. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR EYES are IMMEDIATELY DRAWN TO THE LOVE HANDLES. THE HIP DIPS. THE FLAB. THE STRETCH MARKS. TOO BIG, TOO SMALL, TOO WIDE, TOO NARROW — IT’S all TOO EASY TO NITPICK, ESPECIALLY SO when OUR IDEAS OF WHAT OUR BODIES SHOULD LOOK LIKE are SO DEEPLY INGRAINED in OUR MINDS. SELF-LOVE is HARD TO COME BY, and EVEN HARDER to INSPIRE. IN THIS INTIMATE FEATURE, THREE WOMEN BARE THEIR FEELINGS ABOUT THEIR PERSONAL BODY INSECURITIES, the ROUTE TOWARDS ACCEPTANCE and HOW CULTIVATING SELFCONFIDENCE REALLY isn’t THAT EASY
