Love Your Body Week is part of National Eating Disorder Awareness Week. It is a time to celebrate our bodies, no matter the shape or size, and all that we can do with our bodies. It is a time to be aware of the things that make us feel bad about ourselves and fight them with the things that make us feel good about ourselves. Most importantly, it is about learning to be comfortable with who we are.

The mission of LYBW is to encourage acceptance and celebration of human diversity through body shapes and sizes. We encourage kindness and affirmation of human value regardless of differences in weight, physical size, shape, age, and ability. We hope to contribute to changing the socio-cultural ideals that equate thinness with health, beauty, and happiness often leading to hatred of fat and the emergence of eating disorders.
