I’m no longer hiding my curves – goddesses were worshipped for having a body like mine, it’s ‘Aphrodite Girl Summer’
ONE curvy “goddess” let go of her worries once she realized she was worthy of being worshipped.
She is now hoping to teach others that your curves should be celebrated, not covered up.
AHEAD OF THE CURVE
TikToker Elle Daisy (@elledaisy) posted a video of herself showing off each and every curve.
“No longer hiding my body because Aphrodite was worshipped for looking like this,” she said in the video.
She shared how she has come to view herself in a more body-positive light with The U.S. Sun.
“For me, Aphrodite summer is simply celebrating your version of a healthy body,” she said.
“It doesn’t need to look like a model or even Aphrodite — she was the goddess of beauty, so for me, that just means celebrating your beauty!” she continued.
“I would love to see girls of all shapes and sizes just enjoying their summer and having fun, not worrying about how they look in a bikini.”
She hopes that other women realize that there is more to life than just “how you look.”
“Beauty isn’t one size,” said Daisy.
“We can all be beautiful and look completely different.”
She shared how she first started struggling with body image issues at just 10 years old.
BODY IMAGE BATTLES
This led to her developing anorexia, a severe eating disorder, which she battled throughout all of her teenage years.
Now that she has recovered, her message is meant to inspire other young girls from “going down the “same path.”
She also has some confidence-boosting tips.
“For me, it all comes down to self-talk and mindset!” she said.
“Realizing that nobody actually cares what you look like or how much you weigh, everyone is too busy focusing on themselves!” she added.
“We get one body and its sole purpose is to keep us alive and help us experience life which is infinitely more important than how we look.
“I believe self-talk changes how you feel about yourself so I made a very conscious effort at the start to fake it and tell myself really nice things and over time it gets easier and you believe them yourself!
“Also, try to talk to yourself as you would a friend.”
ROLE MODELS
She also revealed her biggest role models – and the thing she admires most in others.
“I think the most beautiful trait you can have is confidence in yourself and joy for life! The most beautiful people I know are the ones that love themselves and are happy!” she said.
I follow so many other creators on social media who are spreading the same message I am and they are amazing! Eg Mayridts, Nelly London, and Spencer Barbosa,” she added.
