The Depression Of Body Shaming

Represenational image.

Where do you want me to start? The online entertainment, the way society looks at people or the little sly comments on the belly fat that your clothing shows.

No matter which part of the country we are from, body shaming is becoming one of the biggest problems with regards to self-confidence irrespective of age. So why are we all still into this, zero size, no-fat campaign towards our own suffering?

Everything starting from TV shows, to the internet to movies, romanticises having a slim figure to an extent that people are ready to let themselves and their bodies suffer through that process. And no I am not talking about working out and eating healthy, that you do for yourself. I am not talking about things people do for others. Is it that difficult for everyone to understand that when you body shame a person or compare them with someone else, they internally scream of a pain that you would never know of?

I called this article the depression of body shaming because, that what it is – depression. When will our minds be free enough to realize that we can be both beautiful and fat?
