Being an overweight girl I have always subjected various criticisms to the point I cried. Especially when it comes to the matter of clothes they always expect to not wear sleeveless or tight fitted or too baggy clothes as according to them we will look fat in that . I am often advised to wear Indian clothes instead of western. I am even advised not to wear jeans and many more things. Some people even ask things like “Do you get clothes of your size?” Which sometimes becomes embarrassing.
But the conclusion is no matter whether you are skinny or fat they will always judge us no matter what.
But now I have decided to accept myself the way I am . I wear the clothes I like and are comfortable with. I wear all types of clothes now.
Believe me guys every woman is beautiful in her own way. No one has the right to tell them what to do and what to wear. People are hypocrites. They will tell a fat girl to reduce her weight and a skinny girl to gain weight. Often I am told that “you look good but if you lose a little bit of weight you will look more beautiful and get good boys.”
I always brush off these so-called compliments.
I tried various ways to lose weight but I couldn’t succeed and instead tormented myself. I finally started to focus on my happiness and now I admire my body.
But not everyone can realise it and we have to undergo so much criticism so we should try to normalise being curvy. The very first step is if someone is bullying some girl we should stop him. We should reprimand them . Constant criticism can lead to depression and other health issues. Many actresses are often body shamed which is really sad and when actors are gaining weight they are admired. So why to endure this lets fight and love ourselves the way we are. There are various fashionable dresses coming in plus size so why should we hear bullshit opinions . There are many bloggers out their who support body positivity and also now actresses bash people who body shame them. So encourage and support body positivity.
