Tucson's Body Love Conference Addresses Issues Of Self Image

The concept of "body love" sounds simple, but for many is actually very complex.

The basic idea is to love your own body, even with all its flaws, and to feel comfortable in your own skin. But because there are constant images and ideas about what bodies should look like, many people do not feel that their bodies fit the ideal, which can make it tough to feel like your body is good enough. 

Jes Baker is a body-positive blogger and founder of this weekend’s Body Love Conference in Tucson, which aims to address these issues.
