Labels make us feel worse about ourselves, and I would love for all models, no matter what their size, to be treated equally and called the same thing.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
Social media has been both damaging and beneficial in terms of how we view our bodies.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
I was a 'straight-size' model from 13 to 16, but I was eventually dropped by the agency because my hips were too big.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
Because I was a swimmer, I felt like sports did help me to realize that my body was more than what it just looked like... and if didn't eat, then I couldn't swim fast.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
Aerie builds you up, and it makes you feel positive. Why don't more companies do that?
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
When you get to that point where you don't have to worry and you don't have to think about it... I'm pretty sure that's the best diet you can be on.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
Like virtually all of the women I know, I spent my teenage years battling with my body and feeling I wasn't good enough. A lot of that negativity is because I was pursuing a career in modeling and was told countless times that my body was too big. My hips and thighs were too wide.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
My story is one of ups and downs. It's made up of tastes of success and a lot more rejection.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
For me, health starts from the mind, and it really does start from the inside out.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
If you are trying to achieve the 'perfect body' or aspiring to be like someone else, you are only going to feel like you failed.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
My confidence comes from the realisation that, actually, the best you can be is you, learning to accept who I was, what I wanted, and that I was more than my body.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
We don't need to be categorized - we are all individual and beautifully unique.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
I spent so many years being repeatedly rejected and told I wasn't good enough. It took a huge toll on my self-esteem until I realized I am more than my body and that, actually, our beauty comes from diversity.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
I know, when I was younger, I would look in the mirror every single day and hate what I saw.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
The most important relationship we have in our lives is the relationship we have with ourselves, and we're not taught about it.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
There is a way to disagree with someone, but it doesn't have to be threatening.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
If you want to wear something and you feel confident, you are going to rock it. That's what I love about fashion: it's your choice and your chance to express yourself.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
Words and images deeply impact the way we view our bodies, and the consequences can be very damaging.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
Never think your life isn't good enough. You only have one, so enjoy every minute.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
When we think about our bodies, we often think about the way they look as opposed to what they accomplish for us every day.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
I always encourage other people to share a story and voices. That is so important.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
I had had my own trials and tribulations with body image. I had gone through a lot starting from my teenage years.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
I got told I wasn't good enough and that I could never make it. And then Aerie told me I was beautiful because I was me.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
I need to just be Iskra, and I've got to believe in me, or else no one will.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
Phones are interesting objects. Sometimes you wish they just didn't exist.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
I never want to shame anyone. I love going to the gym, and I feel proud and fit. That, for me, is aspirational. There are things you can do in a very healthy, natural way. This is how I work with my body to make it the best I can be. That's the shape that I have, just toned and tight. That's my preference.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
I'm very much a positive person - I put good energy out there - so I don't feel like anyone would want to do anything nasty to me.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
I've been trying to be the model that I wanted to see when I was a teenager, looking through magazines and not seeing myself, looking at pictures that were so edited.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
People often ask me, 'Who is your role model?' and it sounds a bit cliche, but I've been trying to be my own model.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
I felt like the sample size was right, and my body was wrong. I basically ended up going into battle with my body, and that's a daily battle every time you look in the mirror. Every time you see an image of a successful model or someone who you look up to who doesn't look like you, you think you're not good enough.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
When I joined Instagram, I began sharing my raw photos along with my raw and honest thoughts and feelings.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
Change the conversation you're having in the mirror with yourself... if you hear someone who is saying something that is bringing them down, stop it. Don't be passive. Actually, take action and say, 'I wouldn't speak to my best friend like that.'
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
My long-term dream is to have self-education in schools for mental, physical, and emotional health because we need to learn how to speak to ourselves in a loving way and to each other.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
As a model, I feel a great responsibility, and I understand how an image can make a young woman feel.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
I remember Googling operations to make my calves slimmer, and I ate only ham for a week to try and become skinny.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
I was called 'fat' 200 times on shoots and had serious trouble fitting in the clothes at fashion shows. All these things break you down to a point where you look in the mirror and don't like what you see.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
Every agency would mention my hips. I remember looking at the other models and thinking, 'I do not look like these girls.'
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
I'm happy with myself. I respect myself. And I know that no man, no jeans, no scale, and no booker is in control of my future - I am.
Quote by -Iskra Lawrence
I never could have dreamt that I would be able to help girls feel better about themselves. But now I know I can. I want to do everything in my power to do more.
