Many of us are guilty of it, and even though we know we do it, it doesn't stop us from calling ourselves fat, or others fat, or celebrities fat - or just about anyone fat, for that matter. When we're out with girlfriends and the conversation turns to weight, one of the group will often say something like "Ugh, I feel so fat today". The next girl will say "Oh, you're not fat. I am! Look at the size of my thighs!" and so on and so on and all it does is cause us more pain and more upset.

Challenge societal norms by celebrating differences. Remember that words have power, and by quitting the fat talk, you contribute to a culture of acceptance, self-esteem, and mental well-being. Let's lift each other up, promoting positivity and kindness in the way we speak about ourselves and others.
So quit the fat talk - quit it right now!
Put Your Phone Down
One problem with smartphones is that although they connect us with people all over the world at the click of a button, they also stop us from connecting with people who are right in front of us. The more time you spend disconnected from the real world, the more disconnected you'll feel from yourself, and the more likely it is that the people around you will think that you're not particularly approachable. Get off the phone and look at the world around you.
What Do You Love?
You might think that you hate yourself, but the truth is, you can't hate each and every part of yourself. There will always be something about yourself that you like, so you need to find that part of yourself, focus on it and soon enough, you'll be able to find other parts of yourself that you like. It could be anything, from the curve of your neck to the shape of your eyes.
Be Kind to Yourself
Would you talk about your friend in the way that you talk about yourself? No. Would your friend call you fat, talk about how big your thighs are? Say that you had chubby cheeks? No. So don't talk to yourself like that!
Treat Yourself
There are many things that you can do in order to make yourself feel better about the way you look. Regular exercise will not only make your limbs look leaner and longer, but it'll boost the release of endorphins, which will make you feel good. The same goes for a healthy diet, as well as clothes that fit properly and that suit your figure.

Look for the Perfect Outfit
What's your favorite outfit? What do you like about it - cut, colour, fabric, texture? Figure out what it is, then buy more of it, so that you can feel good about yourself not only when you're wearing your favorite outfit but every day, too.
Clothing isn't just fabric; it's an armor of confidence. Dressing for confidence means selecting attire that reflects your personality and makes you feel empowered. Embrace colors and styles that resonate with your self-image, boosting self-esteem. Choose pieces that fit well and flatter your body, enhancing comfort and poise. Don't conform to fleeting trends; prioritize what makes you feel authentic.
Confidence radiates from within when you feel comfortable in your skin and your clothes. So, every morning, slip into that outfit that makes you stand taller, smile brighter, and conquer the day with unwavering self-assurance.
