I wish one’s weight wasn’t a measure for their beauty 😞

I was having a nice heart-to-heart while catching up with my work assistant Bryanna just now. She was venting to me about her personal insecurities and while I was trying to encourage her, she said it’s easy for me to do so because I’m “way prettier”… 😦 I’m like, you think I’m prettier than you? Are you retarded?! Nah, I didn’t actually say that. 😂 But seriously, she responded to my objection with “Well, you’re all skinny and everything.” Omfg… 🤦‍♀️ Yes, she has a tiny bit more weight on her than I do, but so frickin’ what?! 🤷‍♀️ She’s still very pretty and definitely better-looking than I am! It just irks me that in spite of all the body positivity stuff going around in the media and marketing nowadays, people still subscribe to the widely-accepted of what constitutes as beauty. 🙄 But I suppose that will always be a problem. Nothing sadder than seeing a legit beautiful person think less of themselves just because they may not be a damn twig. Ugh…. 😔

Its asier said than done. We live in a world that just a fww extra pounds is percieved as bad, as wrong. This society makes it that if we are a size 0 to 4 we are fat and yes viewed as ugly, becaus3 that is what we kept being told..

ewww youre ugly and so fat
Omg you should wp4k.out and loae that weight, ita so ugly
Girl if you'd lose the weight you'd be so pretty
Omg you were SO beautiful the (100 pounds lighter)

, so can you just imagine me being a size 22.

How can we, who aren't skinny see ourselves aa beautiful... i can speak for myself... when i hear
Ppl tell me when I say im huge

but you're still pretty
Fat doesn't mean not beautiful

then why ppl always link both as one... and then we are told eat healthier and hit the gym .... do something about it, stop whinning.. .. like yeah i never tried anything lol🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

All you see in this day of age is skinny women and men percieved as beauty and with extra weight as cute, fat up to obese as ugly...its the rlthe reality of what we are living, at least my reality... ppl always say im cute (with to me is a nice way to say im ugly lol) and if one say im pretty, i always say ita cayse you havent see a full pic of me...

@SimplyMeChantou Unfortunately, the majority, being the small-minded sheeple they are, also still subscribe to the widely-accepted idea of what beauty is as well and reinforce it constantly like those example you just named. For whatever it's worth, there are those who are logical, few as we may be, that can be open-minded and not judgmental about one's weight. Also for what it's worth, I always thought you were gorgeous. ❤️
