If you are a woman, you are no stranger to body policing. People will be pointing fingers at you no matter how beautiful you feel or successful you are. All women (and some men actually) can relate to the way people judge them by the flaws and what they can do to feel better.
We are seeing all these
images that we must look like in order to "look good" in this
product. I am naturally small-boned. I have slowly come to accept this fact. It
has been a long battle that even when am skinny, I still look different from those
girls
in the magazines. I have learned to accept that this is who I am and how
I look with flaws and all. I was meant to be this way.

It is disturbing that
people see fat and assume that someone is unhealthy. The reason that diet
products and fat-free foods are largely sold and aimed at women is because some
women live on diet for fear of gaining weight. When a skinny person is pounding
back a double cheeseburger and washing it down with deep fried chips and large
cold drink, you can be sure that they won’t be subjected to stories.
The stigma attached to
being fat these days makes the larger ladies hang their head in shame
regardless of how confident you are, words and fingers are hurtful for
something you did not choice to be. While slender girls have fear of gaining weight
but bottom line is all ladies need to feel beautiful and confident in their own
skin.
From the social and media
perspective, one would believe skinny people don’t get life-threateningconditions. Not even a doctor can look at a person and immediately tell that
they are unhealthy.
It is time for the society
to understand that beauty come in all shapes and sizes
