‘I’m not gonna preach loving yourself’: JameelaJamil wants people to practice ‘body ambivalence’ thecurvycon thecurvycon
In an era of body positivity and size inclusivity, Jameela Jamil is doing her part to take a different kind of approach to end body shaming and toxic dieting culture, and she’s calling it body ambivalence.
The perspective of the 33-year-old, who founded the I Weigh movement, is a result of her own history with eating disorders and body dysmorphia, which she developed as a teen and dealt with through her 20s. But instead of adopting a mindset of loving her body instead of hating it, Jamil has decided to not-so-simply forget about it.
She went on to explain that not giving herself the chance to analyze her appearance has allowed her to “get on with” the more important aspects of her life without thinking about if she’s worthy to do so or not. However, as a public figure, Jamil has also made sure that the industry she works in respects that approach as well by making sure all images of her remain unaltered.
“It’s not just bad for other people looking at our pictures, it’s bad for us,” Jamil says of actresses who see themselves airbrushed. “If I see a picture of myself with a little caucasian nose and skinny thighs and skinny arms, I’m gonna start to expect that of myself in the mirror and that’s just not gonna happen. So I’m just setting myself up for failure, we all are.”
