I’m your body-positive big sister – my boobs are perfect and my legs are sexy, our bodies weren’t created to be compared
A BODY-POSITIVE influencer knows that she’s perfect — and thinks that you’re perfect too.
She encouraged women to not compare their bodies against others.

Miah Carter (@miahhcarter), a self-proclaimed “body confidence big sister,” shared the video with over 3 million TikTok followers.
“My skin is perfect,” she said, bringing the camera to a close-up of her face.
“But so is yours,” she added, pointing at her viewers with a knowing glance.
“My boobs are perfect,” she said, showing off her figure in a pink two-piece.
Once again, the influencer pointed to the audience: “But so is yours!”
“My legs are sexy!” she said, jiggling her legs excitedly. “But so is yours!!!” she exclaimed.
The influencer reminded her viewers that there is no competition: “There is no comparison!!! We are both beautiful asf,” she said, holding up her hands in a heart.
“Reminder: we could eat the same diet, workout the same routine and we would still never be identical/our bodies were not created to be compared!”
People took to the comments to share their thoughts: “This made my day,” said one commenter.
“You bring me confidence,” said another.
“Girl, you are beautiful!! I love that bathing suit!” said a third.
“You made me cry I needed this, love you,” said a fourth.

Researchers Discover Our ‘Motor Cortex’ Actually Links to Other Parts of the Brain
“Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found that previously overlooked areas of the brain’s motor cortex appear to link control of specific muscles with information about the entire body and brain.”
As a result, the act of, say, reaching for a cup of coffee can directly influence blood pressure and heart rate. And the movement is seamlessly integrated into brain systems involved in planning, goals and emotion. Textbooks, though, still portray a motor cortex in which “the region that controls your finger is not going to be connected to a region [that asks], ‘what am I going to do today?’ ” says Dr. Nico Dosenbach, an author of the study and an associate professor of neurology and radiology.
But the MRI data leaves little doubt that “there is this interconnected system,” says Evan Gordon, an assistant professor of radiology and the study’s first author. “It always was there, but we had not perceived it because of our training, because of the things we learned in the first neuroscience class that we ever took….” There’s two interleaved systems,” Dosenbach says. So right below an area controlling the fingers, for example, the team would find an area involved in “whole body integrative action….”
The new view of primary motor cortex may help explain how the brain solves a difficult problem, says Peter Strick, chair of neurobiology at the University of Pittsburgh. “Even simple movements require nuanced control of all organ systems,” he says. “You have to control heart rate. You have to control blood pressure. You have to control so called fight and flight responses….” A system that weaves together movement and mental states also could explain why our posture changes with our mood, or why exercise tends to make us feel better.
“How you move can have an impact on how you feel. And how you feel is going to have an impact on how you move,” Strick says. “You know, my mother would tell me, ‘stand up straight, you’ll feel better.’ And maybe that’s true.”
