"Like there are different days. Some days you feel really good about your body. Some days you love it. And then some days you really hate it," Jessamyn continued.
She concluded in the audio: "But on every day it's there and acceptance and the freedom that comes from acceptance rests on that day when you can say 'hey, this is what I look like and I'm cool with that'."
