00:00Going bathing suit shopping is like kind of a mild disaster, constantly.
00:05Why is there nothing that fits me? Why is the lighting in here so bad?
00:10Oh my god, I have cellulite. I mean, I know I have cellulite, but like I'm really good at forgetting
00:16that I have cellulite.
00:18My internal monologue when I'm trying on bathing suits is unfortunately pretty negative.
00:22Ah, damn it. And like pulling and like trying to get something and then like realizing, oh, it's too small.
00:29Like I look stupid and my stomach's big and fat.
00:32And then you're just tired and then you leave with nothing and then you just feel like you wasted your
00:37life.
00:38It's like I guess I'm going to the beach someday. That's what I was preparing for. That was supposed to
00:43be fun.
00:44This made me want to vomit.
00:49When I hear the phrase beach body, I mean, I don't think of me.
00:53Tall, probably like tan, no body fat. Like, you know what I mean? Like everything's like sucked and perfect.
01:03Some days you wake up and you're like, oh my god, I am banging. Like, thank god.
01:07And then some days you wake up and you're like, well, turns out I'm a monster piece of garbage and
01:13I didn't realize that.
01:16It can be definitely a way for me to torture myself.
01:20You learn from a young age that weight matters, dude.
01:24Wow, it looks like you have no chest.
01:27All of these images and ideas that you have about what other women look like, supposedly.
01:34You will never be what you want to be. Sorry, this is...
01:39I'm going to get emotional because my mom is so great.
01:42She would talk to me about how she felt when she was younger.
01:46If I had a daughter, I would just want to make sure that she felt confident in herself and not
01:52apologize and feel great about who she is
01:56and not think that being a woman or being a girl is somehow less than.
02:00Don't be afraid to desexualize yourself if that's how you feel.
02:09I think what we could do to make women have a better body image is stop telling women that their
02:17worth is how they look.
02:19Representing the fact that there are so many types of women.
02:23That's why plus size bloggers and us girls, we ought to be out here like, girl, love your body!
02:29I like my skin color.
02:33I love my hips.
02:35I am an embodiment of Kate Bosworth.
02:39I don't know if I necessarily have a beach body, but I'm going to be on that beach.
02:43Yeah, and oh!
02:45That's like a nice little apple pie right there.
02:48But also wear sunscreen because, I mean, beach is very dangerous.
