I started the Love Yourself Campaign back in 2007. The campaign is a protest to unrealistic standards of beauty set by the media. Every minute of every day we are bombarded with images of what is considered "perfection". We compare ourselves and even grow resentful of the one and only body we were given. The Love Yourself Campaign is an on-going worldwide art project that promotes positive body image for women and men. We are all beautiful, so why not show the world and the media that we are comfortable with the way we are.

It is time for us to stand up to false images of beauty and become comfortable with and proud of our bodies!


Would you like to participate in The Love Yourself Campaign? Here's how!

Please send a photograph of you or somebody you know to loveyerbody@yahoo.com
Include your name and city/state with your e-mails please!

The phrase "start a revolution, stop hating your body" must be included somewhere in the photograph, whether it be on the body itself or not. The images should not be altered in any way being that it is a love your body campaign and should represent you for you! Be creative with it! And if you like, you may add a short statement to go along with the image you submit! I am looking for all shapes, sizes, colors, male or female!

Inappropriate or pornographic images will not be accepted. Plain and simple.

Spread the word! Start a Revolution, Stop hating your body!

The perspective is really authoratative. And it would be really great if everyone would love their bodies.. I can't say i'm perfect about loving myself all the time. I think one reason i'd love to see this happen is that my girlfriend would have more selfconfidence, She's sexy, but she doesn't think so

Getting there! I've come a long way. I used to want to kill myself because I thought I was worthless, but now I really value my life and I'm starting to voice my own opinions and not be so afraid of short-sleeved shirts and shorts. And you know what? When I started loving myslef more, other people started loving me too, it's great!

Paulie: No! I'm Paulie in love with Tory, remember?
