Women have struggles everyday with the way we look. It seems like the society is telling them that they should look like "this and that" and sometimes discourages them to look like a bit chubby or fat. However, being beautiful should not be measured by how other people think. The acceptance should start within ourselves.

Female celebrities are often the subject of body shaming because according to other, they are supposed to look a certain way. But these powerful women have advocated for body positivity and body acceptance.

Here are some of the most inspiring quotes to love your flaws, scars, flabs, cellulite and yourself.

 "You just have to look past it. You look how you look, be comfortable. What are you gonna do? Be hungry every day to make other people happy? That's just dumb." - Jennifer Lawrence

"My great hope for us as young women is to start being kinder to ourselves so that we can be kinder to each other. To stop shaming ourselves and other people for things we don't know the full story on - whether someone is too fat, too skinny, too short, too tall, too loud, too quiet, too anything. There's a sense that we're all 'too' something, and we're all not enough. This is life. Our bodies change. Our minds change. Our hearts change." - Emma Stone

"The beach should be a safe space to go as you please and feel good about yourself no matter what! Makeup on, makeup off, heels, sandals, covered up, exposed, do you and feel HAPPY about who you are and YOUR choices, not the ones society wants us to choose. It's also HARD to be 100 percent confident-I'm still not-but I'm on a journey and I want other people to know they're not alone. We all struggle but through our struggle we get stronger and closer to our goals. Body positivity is important." - Ariel Winter

"Since I don't look like every other girl, it takes a while to be okay with that, to be different. But different is good." - Serena Williams

"I don't really care what I look like that much. And I think that women out there should just be happy with how they look and they shouldn't really try to conform to any stereotype. Just be happy and hopefully healthy." - Rebel Wilson

"We live in a day and age where people make it impossible for women, men, anyone to embrace themselves exactly how they are. Diversity is sexy! Loving yourself is sexy! You know what is not sexy? Misogyny, objectifying, labeling, comparing and body shaming! Talking about people's body's as if they're on display asking for your approval [or] opinion. They are not! Celebrate yourself. Celebrate others. The things that make us different from one another make us beautiful." - Ariana Grande

"Take that one thing that you don't like about yourself, and more often that not, that's the one thing that makes you more special-whether it's that gap in your teeth, that mole you never liked, or your own skin color." - Shay Mitchell

"I think no matter what you look like, the key is to, first of all, be happy with yourself. And then you know if you want to try to improve things that you don't like about yourself, then do it after you appreciate yourself." - Adele
