True body positivity—or perhaps more accurately, body neutrality—is the ability to step out of the shower, look at your reflection, and think, "This is the vehicle I have. It has carried me through pain and joy. It deserves to feel the breeze. It does not need to be pretty to be worthy of respect." The benefits of naturism include: Body positivity, in
Naturism does not promise you will wake up thinking your belly is beautiful. It promises you will stop thinking about your belly altogether because you are too busy laughing, swimming, hiking, and connecting.
In a world desperate for authenticity, the naturist lifestyle is a radical act of defiance. It says: I will not hate myself into a smaller size. I will not buy your lotion, your shapewear, or your filter. I will take off my clothes, walk into the light, and take up the space I am owed.
