What our tomorrow holds:

The possibility of being happy and comfortable in our own skin.

The end of the battle with our bodies.

Abundant love for self and others.

A cognitive firewall that shuts out the media’s negative messaging.

The dismantling of insecurities.

Guards let down and arms flung open.

A bright light shining from within.

Memories without shame.

Self-expression without taboo.

Choices made from a place of pride, not pressure.

Genuine communication.

Freedom from self-doubt.

Laughter at our inner critics.

Unabashed beauty.

Self-generated energy.

A vision that amplifies when we align ourselves with others.

Empowerment.

Connection.

Joy.

Melissa Hanna is the founder of LoveThatBody.tv, an interactive comedy experience and workshop series about people’s triumphs and struggles with body image issues. lovethatbody.tv
