“Everyone has dealt with their share of random negative comments. It all comes down to how you handle it. For me, it’s about having constructive conversations instead of ignoring the issue. I found a lot of success in saying: Hey, wondering why you feel that way? And this is how I feel.” Seventeen Magazine

“Getting in the gym makes me feel the best I possibly can, so I make sure I get that in. It’s all about finding your strength, feeling comfortable in your own skin. I never thought I’d be in such a great place. That’s the beauty of working on yourself and taking care of yourself. You get to places where you never thought you’d be.” People Magazine
BARBRA STREISAND
“I was an ugly duckling and a loner. I was known as the kid who had a good voice and no father. My mother laughed at my ambition. She never hugged me or said words like, ‘I love you.’ I never would have ended up doing what I’m doing. I owe her my career. I was always trying to prove to her that I was worthy of being somebody. If you don’t feel loved as a child, you spend your life trying to get that love. People who have two parents who love them are very lucky. They are not left with a hole to fill. You have to fill it with yourself, eventually.” CLOSER
LUCY HALE
“I was the one small brunette among tall blondes. You only get one body, might as well love it. Nothing is the end of the world. Flash forward a year and [ask], ‘Is this really going to be that big of a deal?’ In the long run, it’s really not.” GL
CHRISTINA AGUILERA
“You can never be too perfect, too thin, to curvy. I’m very confident and happy with
my body.” US Magazine
“It’s important to recognize your own self-destructive behavior and be honest about it.
You’re only hurting yourself or losing out on your truth and happiness. I’m not afraid to face
my own personal stuff. It’s so important to dig it up and figure it out and move on.” Cosmo Girl
“I like my body when I have curves. We all come indifferent shapes and sizes, and this is
something to celebrate.” Parade Magazine
VANESSA HUDGENS
“I was self-conscious of what I would call my ’tree trunk legs’ because they are very muscular…but now I’ve learned to love them.” PEOPLE Magaine
HILLARY SCOTT
“I know I will never be a size 2, and that’s okay with me. There are definitely days when it gets to me, but I know part of the reason I have this platform is to be a normal-size person in an industry that tells everyone exactly how they should look. Your body is your body. You need to take care of it, you need to eat well, and you need to exercise for your life, not for anything else.” Redbook
