There were comments aimed at her such as, “go f****** work out you fat bitch,” and other nasty hate, but this only gave Brumfitt more drive to show the world just how strong, fit, and healthy her body was. The photo was seen by over 100 million people all over the world, though Brumfitt received a troubling dose of negative feedback. Brumfitt’s ‘before’ photo is her bikini body after grueling training and dieting, and her ‘after’ photo is her body when it was relieved of the pressure and stress to look flawless. You’ll notice it’s not a typical before and after photo where a person shows off their ideal body weight in the ‘after’ photo. The way that Brumfitt knew she had a worthwhile story to tell came after she posted a ‘before’ and ‘after’ photo on Twitter. Brumfitt is an Australian photographer who was inspired to share her experience of feeling so uncomfortable about her post-pregnancy body that she once contemplated surgery and participated in body building competitions to regain her bikini figure, to ultimately deciding that she wanted to be healthy on her own terms - and think of her body as a vehicle for success. Make sure to always have a positive tone instead of a inquiring one.Every once in a while, we come across intimate stories that boast global mass appeal, and Taryn Brumfitt’s documentary Embrace fits comfortably within that category.
The approach of a person with body dissatisfaction is equally as important.
Helping someone that might be at risk for dealing with body dissatisfaction can start with being nonjudgmental, being resourceful, being open, going to workshops with them, and even referring them to a therapist, doctor, or nutritionist. Possible solutions for dealing with body dissatisfaction in girls starts with talking positively about yourself. Men tend to believe that women’s bodies are solely for their own pleasure. Being that men can’t bear children, it was interesting to see the negative comments being posted by them. Once audience member talked about the absurdity of the negative comments left by men on Taryn’s before and after pictures. Once the floor was opened at the end of the documentary, audience members shared their favorite and most interesting parts of the movie. She was able to share many women’s stories through this vessel of a documentary. Taryn’s journey all over the world to speak to several different women proved to be a success. When Taryn spoke to Jess Baker about dieting, Baker said, “Diets are mostly unsuccessful and soul draining…it caused a lot of emotional and physical suffering in my life.” Taryn traveled around the world to speak to different women who struggled with loving their bodies at one point in their life. The after picture was her normal weight, after the birth of her third child. The before picture was of her thin body at the contest. The main focus of the documentary is analyzing the backlash and positive feedback of the pictures that Taryn took of her body. She wanted her daughter to know that, “You’re perfect no matter what you look like.” Taryn said, “I was still left in a body that I hated…I was stuck in this hideous body for the rest of my life.” She wanted to get healthy on her own terms, and instead of worrying about calories she decided to enjoy nature more while she exercised outside. She soon thought of what kind of example it would set for her daughter, Mikayla. Initially, Taryn considered getting surgery to make it easier to shed pounds. This happened to be a turning point in her life when she stopped being obsessed with a thin body, and began focusing on a healthy body. Even then, Taryn noticed that these women were still dissatisfied with their bodies.
