The society we live in today has its own perception about beauty:) Long hair, slim and slender body, tall or at least, average height, pink lips, straight legs and all.
– If you aren’t any of these, they term you FAT. And they view you as disgusting, slothful, lazy, incompetent and stupid.
They make critical and in most cases, extremely sensitive comments about your body that somehow somehow tends to affect your self-esteem.
I am not a slim person lol. Some people say I’m not fat, some people say I’m too fat. But then, since everyone is indecisive, it all boils down to how I view myself. This isn’t about me. This is for everyone who has in one way or the other felt humiliated and bullied because they’re robost.
– People are constantly judging us. Some people even go the extra mile to say “Be careful so you don’t dig your grave with your spoon”. By being so visible and taking up so much space, in a strange way, we feel invisible. When you enter a room, you feels the eyes assessing you and then they slide off you. I as a person detest full body pictures because I’ve not been able to bring myself to accept my own body. Sometimes, I dwell on the thoughts that I’m stuck in it forever.
I am a Christian and I believe in God. I believe in art and the diversity of things. And until the whole world accepts that all things and people cannot be the same, it won’t experience the level of growth that it so much desires. Some people feel your size is what you are. I mean, if you’re big, you are strong and should be able to withstand those dreadful comments, afterall, you put this upon yourself. Sometimes, we can’t control it. A lot of factors contribute to it; Genes and environment. It will interest you to know that there are people out there who find eating as the best way to deal with an emotional turmoil. I just feel everyone should be responsible when making comments about people’s bodies. We are all equal in the sight of God.
