Teaching your kids to be body-positive can be difficult when you’re still training yourself to stop listening to the fat-shaming voice that most women have programmed in their brains. Luckily, Allison Kimmey, a mom and body-positivity advocate, has shown us how it’s done after she told her daughter that her stretch marks are called “glitter stripes,” and that they’re something a woman earns with age.


quote:

“Well when I was a little older than you, I got some stripes when I grew really fast! And some of these stripes are from when I had you growing in my tummy…They are shiny and sparkly, aren’t they pretty?” After her daughter adorably responded with, “Yes, I like this one the best, it’s so glittery. When can I get some?” Kimmey continued her lesson in Loving Oneself 101, saying, “Oh you will get your glitter stripes when you get a little bit older baby!” And with that beautiful interaction, stretch marks have a fabulous new name.


quote:

The truth is that Kimmey is right, Cambelle probably will get glitter stripes when she’s older because even supermodels like Chrissy Teigen have them (and love them!). So why would we ever feel bad about them? (Oh right, that little thing called the patriarchy…)




I really didn't have a problem until that last bit. Once again, men, it's all our fault.

personally I don't mind stretch marks. If you give your old lady grief because of them, you are pretty shitty.

Those aren't stretch marks, but folds of flab.

There is a really pomposity with these people. Moreover, the model got them from pregnancy, not from being a fat pig.

If kids that small are fat, then it's the parents fault.

That kid will without a doubt be a fat adult.

Nothing wrong with them. But self awareness is a big issue. It's like fat guys, or any guy really, wearing a speedo.

Just look at this picture of us together on the beach. You keep eating the McDonald's I bring home for our family dinner every night and watching TV 5 hours a day, and you will have your very own glitter stripes before you graduate HS!"

I think I speak for everyone (except maybe Skillet) when I say "nah, I'm good".
