50 body woes that every mum has tackled at some stage

Inside every woman…There is a voice.

The voice is loud and sharp. She is mean and rude and nasty. She is a bitch.

She knows exactly what to say to ruin our day. She may sound like the voice of a childhood bully or an unsupportive family member, but we know who she really is, she is us.

She is our insecure voice, built and strengthened by society’s toxic standards of female perfection over many years. She reminds us of our flaws each day and obsesses over one thing in particular: Our Bodies.

She tears them apart with her words and even though we try to silence her, she is stronger than any of us would like to admit. One way to take her power away is to acknowledge that she exists inside each of us. To prove it, here are 50 body woes women hate on, that are sure to sound familiar.
