While we\u2019d, of course, prefer seasonal messages to be more inclusive, fall brings us a much-needed breather. Before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/live\/2019-resolutions\/\">New Year\u2019s Resolution<\/a> agendas come in full throttle in December, let\u2019s enjoy the break from negative messaging and continue to embrace <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/live\/plus-size-dating-advice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">body positivity<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, without further ado, here are three tips for staying body positive throughout the fall season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b><br>1. Listen to your body.<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the summer, diet and exercise recommendations are advertised everywhere. Dia&amp;Co is here to support and build you up just the way you are with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/shop?utm_source=bl&amp;utm_medium=ed&amp;utm_campaign=1080\">stylish plus-size clothing<\/a> for women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A confident body image comes from the inside\u2014despite the negative influences on the outside. It takes a lot of courage to stand up, accept and love who you are, regardless of the mixed messages from the media. We\u2019re here to remind you that an ideal look isn\u2019t achieved through a cookie-cutter image but through comfort and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/meet\/what-prioritizing-me-did-for-my-self-confidence\/\">confidence in your own skin<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Dia&amp;Co, we encourage you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/live\/why-doesnt-my-pain-matter\/\">to listen to your body<\/a> instead of buying into trending diets and painful workouts. What is your body hungry for? How does your body want to move? You have the power to define what makes you feel healthy and happy\u2014and we hope you\u2019ll take these self-defined lessons with you into fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>2. Wear what makes you feel confident.<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At some point in our lives, all of us have likely felt obligated to look, dress, or act a certain way. For centuries, women have been expected to fit a certain standard of feminine expectations, leaving little-to-no room for body positivity and style exploration. Well, perfection doesn\u2019t mean \u201cwithout flaws,\u201d nor does it have a set appearance. Fortunately, our modern world is constantly challenging body image, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/wear\/plus-size-style-transformation\/\">plus-size fashion and style are constantly evolving<\/a>\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/wear\/decoding-the-dress-code\/\">wedding dresses<\/a> are no longer white, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/shop?utm_source=bl&amp;utm_medium=ed&amp;utm_campaign=1080\">plus-size clothing is increasingly available online<\/a>, and dressing in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/wear\/defining-personal-style-casual\/\">casual<\/a> manner is now acceptable at high-end restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that acceptance comes the opportunity to challenge self-presentation. Luckily, your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/know\/perks-personal-stylist-plus-size\/\">stylist<\/a> here at Dia&amp;Co has your confidence in mind and can help you style an image that reflects that. So, if you feel confident wearing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/shop\/36\/jackets-and-sweaters?utm_source=bl&amp;utm_medium=ed&amp;utm_campaign=1081\">plus-size bomber<\/a> to your next executive meeting, go right ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>3. Trust that it\u2019s a process.<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone who has ever had difficulty cultivating a positive body image knows how impossible the journey to confidence can feel. The difficulty is often a combination of the struggles as well as the tough lessons you learn when you start truly loving yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Body positivity isn\u2019t about crossing a finish line or summiting a mountain\u2014it\u2019s an ever-changing and lifelong <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/meet\/plus-size-style-journeys-kate-palmer\/\">journey<\/a>. How you love yourself now might look very different in the long run. So, relax and take a breather. Self-love has no limit or deadline. There\u2019s no rush in learning how to love yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Feeling good about yourself and where you\u2019re at doesn\u2019t have to be complicated. In fact, most of us are way too hard on ourselves. So, this fall, don\u2019t aim to please, but aim to feel great in the body you have now\u2014we\u2019re just here to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/style-box?utm_source=bl&amp;utm_medium=ed&amp;utm_campaign=1082\">dress you with impeccable style<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Looking for more body-positive tips? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/live\/\">Bookmark the \u201cLive\u201d category<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The hype about \u201cgetting that summer body\u201d is harmful, damaging, and unrealistic.
