Body Shaming. Is It Okay?
Now I definitely do not in any way fit (no pun intended) in the skinny category, however I have been subject to comments that make me feel like losing weight is a bad thing. (I know, what?!) Last year I changed up my eating habits dramatically, and as a result, lost the weight I'd gained in the previous 18 months. And for that, I feel amazing. Which is great.. but not so great when people tell you "not to lose any more" or "it can make people look ill" like hell, I think I'm the best judge of my own body, right?

Well spoken Holly! I really can't believe what people say to each other. How humans and just be so cruel just for the sake of it. We are all different and we should be celebrating the differences in others. Good on you for writing this blog. I hope many many people see it and are helped by it. One way or another.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with this post, I am forever getting comments on how small I am which annoys me so much. People are very careful when it comes to talking about people's weight if they are bigger but it is somehow fine to say it to thin girls which is so wrong. Thank you for sharing this! You have a lovely little blog here by the way pretty gal! x

This post is very well said. I completely agree with everything you said. I'm a plus size persona and people constantly think it's okay to point that out to me. What people don't realise is that I'm happy with myself.
