Due to the many messages she receives due to summer from women who are ashamed of their bodies, Eleni Petroulaki from her hometown of Crete sends a resounding message in every direction.

“This post is about some messages to you because of summer!
The next time you say ‘I’m ashamed of my body’, ask yourself if the shame you feel is actually under your control.

What is out of my control?

* My body type, my genes, and the metabolism I inherited
* what others think of me
* other people’s tastes and/or complexes
* many times the comparison with others!

What is under my control?

* how I choose to manage my body (exercise, diet, care, cosmetic treatment!
* the opinion I have about my body (acceptance of my imperfections) & how I will improve them and how I react to other people’s opinions about me!
And how do I define my personal worth (with measuring tapes, scales and weight units? or with more internal elements such as the quality of my character, the depth of my soul and the improvement of my body, my appearance with balance?)
