body is an amazing and beautiful thing. We have organs working non stop to keep us alive and to make sure we are healthy, but we don't respect that, instead we shame it.

 

As a society we have a certain set of ridiculous ideals about what men and women are supposed to look like. Few people realize just how ridiculous and unrealistic these ideals are. The worst thing the media does is it tells men and women that they are not okay the way they look now in order for them to buy their beauty products, weight loss items etc. No longer is body shaming just in the media, it has now gone to real people in peoples day to day lives, telling them that they are not okay with the way they look.

Stop fat shaming, skinny shaming, skinny-fat shaming and athletically built shaming because it is not okay. Everyone has a different type of body, everyone should be allowed to view and love themselves without having to hear the persuasive and dangerous opinion of people.

The solution to ending body shaming is not some difficult task like trying to find the cure for cancer, it is simply just keeping your opinion to yourself and letting everyone live in peace. Love yourself for who you are and let others do the same thing.

How to Deal With Body Shaming

Whether it’s called body shaming or fat-shaming, one thing is clear: nobody should be judged or feel ashamed by the way they look. You only have one body, and you should love yourself. Other people will always have something to say, and you can’t definitely please everyone. 

 

You can’t live by what society expects of you, live by your own terms, and love yourself. You should learn how to feel good about yourself because you are worthy
