Fooled by appearances


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
