Staring: Taryn Brumfitt, Amanda De Cadanet, Turia Pitt
Documentary time! Lucky me, i have been blessed with the flu, much like the rest of Perth. I have been in and out of naps and dizziness all day :( I managed to squeeze this beauty in!
I have been intrigued with Embrace, ever since i saw the photo that started it on Facebook. Taryn Brumfitt had struggled with body image after having her three babies and admittedly hated her body. She had a friend who was a personal trainer who encouraged her to enter a bikini body competition to help motivate her to lose the weight. She did! and she looked incurable strutting her stuff on that stage, i wish i had a flat stomach like that! Once Taryn had the perfect body she realised that she wasn't happy and was happier with her old body, her slightly bigger body. So the photo that went viral was her 'before and after' photo. Usually the bigger bodied picture is the before and the skinnier bodied picture is the after, it was the other way around for Taryn and she loved that.
Taryn didn't want her daughter to go through the same body issues she did, so she travelled the world meeting beautiful women who have also accepted their bodies. This documentary is a real eye opener and makes us realise how hard we are on ourselves for our bodies, myself included. These stories from these amazing women is life changing, especially Turia Pitt, i want to be friends with her! just ordered her new book - yes! I definitely recommend watching this, Taryn is also Australian!
