Exactly being skinny or chubby is never a crime and it is high time people change this attitude and accept everyone the way they are! Keep going girl!💓

Totally agree. It hurts so bad. And specially when relatives tell you stuff like "my daughter 4 year younger than you looks older than you" why can't just people stop pointing out the fact that someone is skinny. Everyone already knows how they are. I always make myself understand that it's oki to be skinny and it's not a crime. More power to you girl.❤️ We all are beautiful 😊

I'm so sorry that you had to face such primitive minds. I think we need a lot of development in society. We need to teach them kindness , generosity and how to change these beauty standards.  I don't think our weight, face , color or anything for that matter is a beauty indicator. 

I'm really proud that you started loving yourself and accepting that you are beautiful just the way you are. I've always been a chubby kid so it's never been easy for me too, but at one point I got tired trying to live through society's expectations. Also really in owe by how you did it all by our own. Thank you so much for coming forward with this story. Cheers to all bodies!🍃

Hello. I'm so sorry that you had to go through all this. I wish you had a person who could just hug you and say "it doesn't matter". But you realised it yourself. Which is great!!!!! Loving yourself as you are is always the first step in making people love you. Great that you accepted as you are and helped others too. Really great job. Keep loving yourself no matter what. Yes you might face more such rude comments but if you stand strong in from of them they will go away. Feel good about yourself YOU are brave. Glad you shared your story here. Lots of love and strength. 😀

Sigh, its true that insecurities come in all forms and none of them should be glazed over, regardless of whether they think they're saying it as a compliment. I hope that you'll feel more comfortable in your own skin as you continue to meet more people and that there is more awareness regarding giving labels (for body types in this case). Felt nice to hear you say that you've been growing more confident about yourself!

So inspiring❤️🤗 Proud of you girl🌸

Hey Ashima!!!

Your story is really very beautiful. Usually people accept others opinion and they need someone to tell them that they are perfect in their own way. But you started reading books. You found your insight on your own. Your deserve an applause for this👏👏

Well done!!!

well said, it does not matter how you look, what your skin colour is or what your size is. As long as you are accepting yourself and you are comfortable in your own skin, nothing else matters. People should stop judging others based on such parameters, it really has an effect on people's mental health but I am glad that you didnt let others get to you

hey Aahima!!

you know what this is completely relatable because I was also skinny at some point..and every body type is beautioful in its own way!!glad that you shared your story.. ❤️ 

Very inspiring. You're doing great, don't let anyone else put you down.

A virtual high five for owning up and accepting yourself the way you are😊 Accepting ourselves truly does empower us. Also, it is never okay for anyone to mock your weight and pass distasteful comments- a thing that is so rampant and done so casually but what is ignored is the effect it has on the individuals both physically and mentally. Your size does not define you and nor do those unrealistic beauty standards. You are You and that's your biggest strength. May you continue this journey of self love and empowerment always 😊

Your words is so beautiful the true soul is rewarded with true love all the best. 

I am so proud of you! Body shaming has become very common lately. People define individuals jus by their looks. I am glad that you faught against people who criticize you and have grown strong during the course of time. Don't let people's opinions supress you and make you insecure. Just make sure to love yourself.

Hey ,

I am soo proud of you! Its so good to know that you overcame people's criticism and proved them how strong you can be. Don't ever let people's judgment bother you or make you insecure. Judging people by thier looks has become very common recently. Just love yourself and don't care about others opinions 😊

I can totally understand you I was also skinny person when was i my 11 grade people used to tease me because of my body that time I always wonder why it is not okay to be skinny and honestly its not about skinny or fat its just the some people perspective thats it. Skinny or fat god makes females to be loved and thats why we as a female should accept it and love ourselves and flaunt ourselves as much as we want. More power to you girl  

hey, completely relatable.. It gets very annoying when they constantly tell you to eat. People went as far as insulting my parent for 'not feeding' me. I still get very conscious to wear sleeveless tops, so now I'm known as the jacket girl 😆 but what's inspirational from your post is that you've converted all that negative energy to something positive! All the best, you're doing great. 

Hey! Hello! From what I see, you are beautiful. No skinny do I see 🤔 but ok. First, I am very proud of you and very grateful to that *best friend* of yours. Because, s/he was the reason you started reflecting on who you are and whom should you really love! Kudos to you and hope your self love never ends. Never.

All the best!

Yes! Beauty is from within, and we shouldn't just be defined by our bodies 🙂

I'm proud of you!

I've been there.  I was curvy.  And to not be it i did all.  Now that I'm not anymore it doesn't really change anything.  So it's just presence or absence of body weight i don't understand the fuss about it.  But hey listen who doesn't accept you the way you are and makes you feel bad about yourself is not a friend. 

But you are strong.  And I believe you are much ahead of the rubbish. 

You are amazing. 

All the best. 

God bless. 🌟💛🌻

Heyy,

You know girl nothing is more important thsn your inner beauty. No matter wether you are skinny, fat, tall, short, black or white or any terms that may offend us. Because people are gonna laugh if you're perfect and also of you are not so that doesn't matter. But I really love the fact that you are trying to accept and love yourself.

Keep going.

Take care🤗

It's not about appearance it's about inner beauty, sadly most of them lack this knowledge we can't change everyone but atleast we ourselves can grow strong by being happy the way we are ,not giving a thought about negativity..kudos to you on your right activities that you took up at the right that has made you who you are today, big hugs strong buddy 🙂

A big virtual hug to you for learning to accept yourself. It is really sad when the people whom you expect to love you and accept you say such hurtful things without even realizing how these things might affect you. We only need to keep our bodies and minds healthy and not worry about what body type we have. While this acceptance comes with a lot of effort (because of the way society has conditioned us), I'm glad you're on the right path. Every-BODY is beautiful!!! More strength to you and I sincerely hope we are able to change the general mindset about body image.

Kudos to you for accepting yourself the way you are....we are all unique and beautiful in our own way 

Hey! This is so relatable. I've heard those statements too and I still hear them. Acceptance really helped me and I'm glad you're confident about your body now. <3

There was, is and will never be an ideal body shape/size. Everyone is born differently, with different physical and mental traits. And we have no right to comment on anyone's body shape. And i'm so proud that the present social media is overtly expressing this kind of body positivity. Everyone, every single person in the world is imperfect. No one is born with innate concealers and maskaraas. The sooner we accept this, the sooner we appreciate the people around us.

Thankyou so much for writing this up! Surely made my day!🧡

Stay healthy. Stay happy. Take care.

I believe whatever happens happens for a reason and this experience in you life has helped you to evolve into a much stronger person which you are now. best off luck and wishes for your better future. Stay happy and shine. 🙂

Hi Aashima! Thank you so much for penning this down!

I've been thinking about unrealistic body image standards and how they are letting every single person around us down all through this pandemic, to say the least!

I've been battling body image issues for about 8 years now, and I totally agree! It is so important to love ourselves just the way we are!

Once again, thank you so much for writing about this. All the best going forward. Cheers!
