Your mum might say some smart stuff about body image. Your best friend may give you self-confidence a boost. Your doctor may be preaching the gospel truth about taking care of yourself. But if the truth be known, it doesn’t always hit home until a celebrity says it. They are rich, popular and talented after all – they must be doing something right – who wouldn’t take their advice?
Just as an FYI, you should know that this post is brought to you by our partners at Fernwood Fitness. But all opinions expressed by the author are 100% authentic and written in their own words.
So, here is a collection of cool body positive quotes by celebrities* that make sense and you should take on board:
“Box gap is not a thing. If you need to back up to a mirror and bend over to find out how you look, you are playing to the wrong audience.”
– Mickey Thyson, boxer and theatre critic
“If anyone tries to give you feedback on the appearance of your nether regions, they have revoked all rights to visit there. Borders closed. Sanctions imposed.”
– Major L. Abeya, first person to bring peace to the Middle East Region (and the Middle South Region)

By the way, none of my gym gear fits, but I am going to wear it until it does! PS rockin' a good muffin (top)
Angelina Jolie not 'jolly'
Nor Angela.
FYI: all the names are intentionally wrong.
It's a joke. The "real" celeb names weren't used because they weren't real quotes... hence the last paragraph "OK, so none of these people are actual celebrities. These are simply a list of things that you know and that you can tell yourself every day if they resonate with you. Because celebrities don’t know you any better than you know yourself."
It's satire, you know ?
