I have a squishy stomach and jiggly arms – all bodies are beautiful and my hip dips are so cute
A WOMAN has fought back against things that she’s been shamed for.
She says that she’s proud of her squishy stomach and hip dips.
Carmen Mejia (@carmenjmejia) shared the body-positive video with over 200,000 TikTok followers.
The 20-year-old content creator explained that she wants her viewers to be kinder to themselves.
“Things we’re taught to be ashamed of that are actually quite NORMALLL,” she said, adding the hashtags #normalizenormalbodies and #allbodiesarebeautiful.
Her list included her hip dips, body odor, and “any kind of squish.”
She squished her thighs, stomach, and arms to demonstrate her appreciation for her body.
People took to the comments to share their thoughts on her list.
Her points hit home for many: “Every time I hate my hip dips, I remember the ‘THERES A DIP IN THE BONE’ guy, and suddenly I’m over it,” said one commenter.
“Hip dips are literally hot I don’t get people,” said another.
“I have hip dips and I LUV THEM,” said a third.
“I always hated my hip dips until recently, now I think they’re kinda neat!” said a fourth.
“Love yourself may not be an easy journey but I’m taking it slow and trying.”
Carmen agreed emphatically: “Hip dips are so cute!!! I’m so proud of you btw.”
