Fitness/Diet » HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH BODY SHAMING? by: Obajichi(f) .:. Tue, 29 Nov, 2022 - 09:40:01:am GMT
Body shaming involves humiliating someone by making inappropriate comments about their shape or body size.

Just like 'fat shaming' , one could also receive negative comments for being underweight as well.

These criticisms can make one feel unhappy and inadequate. You can begin to judge yourself harshly and compare yourself with others whom you feel look better than you.

Some of these people who criticize or body shame, do it without realizing the effects of certain questions like "Have you lost weight "? or "Don't you think that is too much for you to eat"?

Even in a joking manner, people can make remarks about what you eat or how much food you consume.

Body shaming can also be on the form of giving advice about dieting or praising weight loss.


Even social media body shames people as well.

The one who is body shamed has to learn how to deal with the problem of body shaming.

I feel some of such ways is :

1) Cultivating self- love: you've got to appreciate yourself the way you are.
You have to he your number one fan. Celebrate yourself and others will celebrate you, even if you have it in mind to adjust your shape. Let people be comfortable with the decision you make with your body .

2) Replace negative self-talk : Tell yourself you look good the way you are. Positive statements will do you a world of good.

What other ways do you think people can cope with body shaming?

Personally, I don't think there is anything like body shaming. I just think this people are too lazy, and because they don't want to do what they are suppose to do, they result to emotional blackmail by coming up with this English (body shaming).

When someone tells you that you are fat, what you need to do is look for what to do so that you can loose weight. You don't need to be too skinny, just be inbetween.

You were not born fat, thats why you could be in the womb. You gathered the fat over time and its very possible to loose it. Am a witness.

Instead of feeling bad and black mailing people, you should be apologizing to people.

Do you know what this people can do to you in a vehicle? They will press you, you will almost loose your life if you are not careful. And they don't adjust when they are inside vehicle, it's wickedness.

They almost pressed me to dead when I was in school. When I finally dropt from the car I almost fainted, I felt sick through out the day. Over weight is a sin because you are inconveniencing others.

So instead of feeling bad, simply work on your self.

Thank you.
**It is well**

Body shaming can be very frustrating especially when it is coming regularly; yes! Body shaming can come regularly if you are in a school or class where everybody will always have something to say about your body.

There are different ways in dealing with body shaming and there are ways to relate with those who are body shame which I call body shamer. I know if it were to be in secondary school many of us will go and report to the school authority but most times that doesn't curb the problem.

Knowing fully well that that doesn't curb the problem, the first thing you need to do to deal with such people is to value yourself. There's a way you value yourself that nobody can underestimate you; you need to see yourself as the most beautiful/ the most handsome.

That Confidence helps you stay good despite their words of shame. Don't be deceived, you are wonderfully made and those people's body shame want to have what you have, they just can't say it.

**Life is good**

Practice self-love and self-acceptance: Focus on your positive qualities and attributes and remember that your worth is not determined by your appearance.

Surround yourself with positive and supportive people: Seek out friends and family who are supportive and uplifting and avoid people who make negative comments about your body or appearance.

Confront the bully: If someone is body shaming you, calmly let them know that their comments are hurtful and not acceptable.

Use positive affirmations: Affirmations can help reframe negative self-talk and improve self-esteem.

Body shaming is a very bad thing and people who do that are evil because they don't know that the effect of body shaming lasts longer in people's heads if care is not taken. It can reduce their self-esteem.

I am a product of body shaming and people body shame me because of the birthmark I have on my face. This happen was in primary school and goes on till when I finish secondary school they nicknamed me two face.

The most annoying part is that they know whenever they want to make me cry or feel bad the best thing to do is to call me two faces and that will demoralize me. I became confident when I get to the university and someone said I look unique with my birthmark.

Everybody needs to be confident so therefore don't wait for others to compliment your looks before you believe that you are good-looking. Stop body shaming! Stop Bullying!

This a topic that needs a lot of public awareness. We need to bring it to the table of conversation more often. This is because a lot of damage has been done to people who have been the victim of body shaming.

I'm glad for the few directors that have created movies that enlighten us more about how important this body shaming issue is. I can remember a particular movie that's about body shaming.

Can you imagine a friend destroyed the blossom's relationship of her best friend. This is because the friend tried to let her know she doesn't take care of her body. I mean this lady was fat and the friend was just advising her to reduce her fat intake.

Boom! This friend went as far as destroy her relationship with her boyfriend. I believe that when people body sham us, they're telling us the truth.

Sometimes it's the tone that hurt. Sometimes we simply don't want to hear the truth because the truth always hurt.

As for me, I'm average in height and I get it a lot that I'm short. The truth is "I'm short" and till tomorrow there's absolutely nothing I can do about it.

I have made peace with my stature and I've prepared myself for future body shaming by people. I believe this is the best place to be. If you can change the cause of body shaming, please get to work.

If there's nothing you can do about it like in my case where I'm short. Then I'll advise the person to make peace with them and continue living their life to the fullest.
