Everyone could benefit from a little self-love, but sometimes it is so hard to find a way love ourselves and all the flaws that come with being human. You are not fighting this journey of self-love alone though. So many females, and males, are out there struggling to love themselves. There are some that do love their bodies, bodies of all shapes and sizes. Those people makes Instagrams, and the positive messages they put out can really boost your mood and make you start to feel a little better about yourself. Here are my top five Instagram pages that really help with self-love, body positivity, and all around happiness.
katiehwillcox
This woman is an inspiration and she has started a movement called Healthy is the New Skinny but she didn’t always start off loving her body. Her story tells about how she became a plus size model, but still felt empty and upset with her own body. It wasn’t until she was called beautiful by a stranger and told to not let the modeling world change her perspective of her body. She now post pictures on her Instagram of herself, her movement, and her family as a way to help promote body positivity.
healthyisthenewskinny
As stated before, Katie H. started this movement. You can become a part of this movement too, all you have to do is become educated, raise awareness to healthy lifestyle and try and develop your own healthy self-image. This page puts up quotes, pictures of real people feeling good about themselves (people of all sizes) and even Healthy is the New Skinny merchandise.

positivebodyimage
This page is run by two girls from Canada. They post quite often and the posts are there to spread positive inspiration to anyone who needs it. Men, women, big, or small, all are welcome to feel better about themselves with happy and self-loving quotes.
projectheal
Project Heal is a nonprofit organization. This one goes beyond just body positivity. This one raises funds for eating disorder treatments. This Instagram account believes recovery is very possible and it gives helpful quotes, quotes you need to hear when you’re feeling down, and just reminders that you are enough.
Sometimes we need to scroll past the positive quotes on social media to remember that others feel the same way, and others have overcome it. Self-love is possible, loving your body is possible, being happy with yourself is possible.
