STOP BODY SHAMING PEOPLE 🙏😎

I'm already in love with this topic for episode 3 week 181. I have heard alot about body positivity and today I am glad that we are talking about it.

Alot of people out there have been body shamed and they move around with that stigma of either been too big or small fat or even slim. One thing that is certain is that no one chose the way he or she should be made. We just came out of this world and see ourselves The way we are. That is the more reason why we need to talk about this topic because alot is happening and is not encouraging at all. We need to understand this and learn to appreciate people the way they are without making them feel bad about their body size or look.

The first time I heard of body shaming was from my daughter. I didn't really understand what she meant. She is the big lady in the family and I love it so much because at least for me I have a child that is big. I am not big and that is a plus for me. But you know how it works, sometimes I will just call her fat lady, hahaha 😂 and because she don't like it she will turn to me and say that I am body shaming her. I decided to check it up and that was when I came to understand what she meant. I had to stop calling her that name because I know that she don't like it and I also know that it is not good to make people feel bad and the size of their bodies or about their look.

Body positivity means a situation where people are encouraged to accept themselves the way God made them. Practice self love and also show appreciation for all body types. It doesn't matter how the person looks like. The person could be very tall, very short, maybe blind, dark in completion, fair and how ever that person looks like. This is God's gift to us and we need to appreciate God for making us that way.

CAN IT EVER GET TOXIC?

I think that it depends. Different people have their different ways of approach to things in life . We can also look at it from this angle -

1. Body shaming. When people begin to react negatively to how someone looks and label that person with a name. This is actually toxic and some of us do it alot. Before now there is this guy very close to my former shop that has a big body and I usually call him - orobo. This usually makes him feel so bad when I call that, but I kept doing that until one day my husband told me not to call him that again because he is not happy about it. After all he did not create himself. That was how I stopped, but seeing this topic today I feel so bad that I ever made someone feel bad because of his body size.
2. The second thing that I understand that can make it toxic is when we have a beauty standards that we can't attend. That person will always try to keep to that standard and will be feeling too bad when is not possible to achieve or attain. One thing that I have discovered that will help me in this life is to accept who I am and work on myself to be better than what I was yesterday. Aside that what I see others do that I don't have the resources now or can't achieve now I take my eyes away from it. I recently began to struggle doing a particular thing and it was not working and I had to let go. I'm the type that heat will not allow me do my makeup the way I like it. And when I go and see other ladies with their makeup I love and desire to do it. When I try doing it, it won't last for up to thirty minutes before going off my face because of heat. I became tired and let go. All I know is that I will try to dress well, but for make up, I can't deal with. Hahaha 😂. I love it, but can't do it.
   In conclusion, everyone look very beautiful the way God made us. We need to learn to appreciate ourselves and also others. Don't allow others make you feel bad because of the size of your body or how you look.
