Observations on Body Shaming

in Chit-Chat
There were a couple of threads yesterday that turned in to body shaming. Interesting things I observed and thoughts I had.

1. If you don't WANT to look like someone in a success thread, you don't have to share that info. When you criticize someone's appearance, you may sound jealous.

2. Not everyone wants to be a hard body, and that's okay.

3. If you are a hard body, don't think that everyone on here has the same goals. Don't assume people are jealous of you just because they don't look like you or because they disagree with you on certain issues.

4. While you're admonishing others about "body shaming", calling them fat and couch potatoes doesn't make you much better.

5. Having fake boobs, colored hair, bleached teeth, tattoos, or fake tans does NOT mean your muscles are all fake or that you "cheated" to look good. (nor does having WLS)

6. Pregosaurusrex really is pregnant. I checked.

    Hahaha!! So true!

    I don't get why people are so jealous of others all the time... It's just not worth the time or energy spent on it.

    I'm more of a body-honorer than a body-shamer.

    Does slack-jawed leering count? If so, I'm in.

    I agree with this post whole heartedly. I really just wish body shaming of all forms would stop, but I know that's asking too much.

    WTH happened yesterday lol.

    Just because some one looks good in pictures doesn't mean they're fake. Haters will hate, assume, and criticize . Misery loves company that's all. People will always" run dey mouf" when they can. Blah blah blah. What I'm impressed with is dedication. It's time to give credit where credits due. I could really care less about your tan, make up, hair, weight ,stretch marks or your face, age or race. If someone weighed 700 pounds and lost 200 pounds and posted pictures... I'm impressed. PERIOD. I'm here to inspire and be inspired, by anyone who's put in work. Kick rocks to all the haters.

    Well, I have asked her for real proof soon. We'll need a pic of said baby and another pic of the baby bump about 7lbs smaller. Stay tuned.
