When Devina emailed me to be part of her #bodypositive campaign I couldn't decide if I am the right person to address this issue. I didn't want to sound hypocritical. I will be the first to confess that I have a love-hate-relationship with my body. Being a fat-chubby-kid I have a hard time seeing myself any other way. But with age and experience I have learnt that there are way more important things in life than, say my waist-size. 

Whilst I will never compromise on the ‘joys’ of life (aka chocolate and pizza) but I am willing to sign-up for a lifelong mission to lead a healthy life. I don’t have the willpower to swear-off chocolate cake for life but I do have the dedication to make sure that I deserve it. I think taking care of my body, working out and and leading an overall healthy lifestyle has helped me gain a positive attitude towards my body. It is no more about “being thin”. It is about being healthy and strong. If I take care of my body today, there is a good chance that it will take care of me in my later years. 

Having said that, there is no reason to hate your body. It is, after all, what keeps us going. Just don’t take it for granted!

Miss Guilty Notes: Thank you Tanvi for telling us all that there is absolutely no reason in this world to hate one's own body! We have all got to look beyond imperfections and yet love ourselves.You truly are gorgeous in every way. The next time someone tells a plus size girl' to go eat a salad' or a skinny girl to 'go eat a sandwich' just tell that person to drink a warm glass of "shut the hell up." I am proud to present to you guys an all new real girls campaign, #BodyPositive. If you too, have a story to share or have struggled for acceptance or you have found your calling or you just want to be featured here then please drop a line on devina@guiltybytes.com or just drop a comment, I will get back to you!
