I wish you could read my mind,see the comments I've pushed aside,see those I've let pull me down and all the nasty things people say about my body type 🚶🏿♀.
What is body shaming really?It is criticizing people because of their body types making them feel ashamed of their physical appearances.This makes the affected party lack confidence because of how they look or how you see them.
As much as we ignore it,it affects both men and women.I've seen "skinny" girls being told they are too bony and I've seen "fat" girls being called too thick. I've seen "fat" boys being told to get some abs and some "skinny" boys being told to grow muscles.
It's funny how as children, we played,we used each other's toys and that was enough.That was it.
No one told us we were not enough.
No one also told us that our bodies defined us,then we started growing up.
Fat boys one side👉🏿
Skinny boys one side👈🏿
Thick girls move this way👈🏿
Skinny girls go there👉🏿.
Body Shaming makes us feel like we are not enough.
And I know how that feels.
I keep telling people my parents complain about my body,saying I'm too thin for my age.Or taking photos with curvy girls and lowkey feeling insecure knowing that my hips are not all over or my lower back side wasn't popping enough.
I might not be one of the BEST people to give this advice but I'm getting there,to that point of knowing that I'm enough and that's all I need to know.
Calling someone too thin is the same as calling someone too fat.Both are not good feelings,but you can't let that break who you are as a person. *YOU* have to know that.Building your inner self gives you a satisfaction that physical appearance doesn't.
•Build your confidence,look for your strengths. And use them as your defence mechanisms. Imagine being so confident with who you are that when someone calls you too thick, you tell them not to forget to mention you're "Too thick plus confident"
Do things that your heart wants,not which society has pushed you to do.
Finding your inner self blocks any comments that might almost break you.That works for me.
•Do what you want.
I'm not telling you to go being all overweight or starving yourself to death.But listen,if you wanna cut weight go ahead and sign up to a gym and if you wanna add weight then eat all you want.
But this shouldn't start defining who you are as a person.
Your body doesn't define you.
Sometimes it's in the genes and other times it's your fast metabolism that makes you look like that.
And at times God just wants you to be like that🤷🏿♀.
Stop letting your body size define you,
You're beautiful,you're handsome,you're unique and there is more to you than just how you look.
Don't forget that.🦋
