This girl 10 years ago was made to think she was FAT
🤡"Should you be eating that?"
(Someone did say this to me the other day - my response - "yeah, do you want a fight?")
🤡"You're just curvier than other girls"
🤡"You have chunky legs"
🤡"That style doesn't suit you"
🤡"I think you need a large uniform" - the large then swamps me
This is your message to THINK before you speak!
You probably wouldn't guess from these pictures, but this 22/23 year old was young, had low body confidence, and hated the way she looked!
Looking back now (especially over the last few years) this was the fittest I had probably ever been! I was teaching 10 classes a day 6 days a week, I would walk everywhere - can't say food was great as staff food was chips & chips 😅 we named the dinner lady 'Chips'
But I was made to believe from society that I was fat and unfit - because I didn't meet size 6 standards 😒
Change the message we are sending to our daughters, friends, and colleagues - we are beautiful 🩷
