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!

Everyone needs to see this picture
But I can't feel this whole-heartedly, because
the girl in the photo has a flat stomach.
Many girls in society today (including me)
always feel overweight, and while this is great,
the girl has a perfect body.
u should join my group photography-heart n post some stuff there
