Your child has loved your body since the moment they realized it was the one to hug them, rock them, feed them, and respond to their cries. They love you for all of you. They will question and feel confused when they see you not loving your body, or criticizing yourself, and then they will internalize that. If my parent can’t accept their body for how it is, that probably means I shouldn’t accept mine. Especially if I am anything like my parent.
