That pic of Kiera Knightly has been completely doctored.
No, it's not. It's being confortable no matter what your size or shape.
I've had two babies and hated being pregnant both times. It's not just your stomach that gets bigger, everything swells. People who say they breezed through it and loved every minute of it are lying for a good portion of that time. It's uncomfortable in a lot of ways. You don't feel good about yourself.
After I had my youngest, I lost a lot of weight. The first time, I just lost the weight that I put on and I tiny bit more, and I was comfortable like that. I'm always happier when I have room to move ( you know when you're a bit under what you normally are, so it doesn't matter if you put on a couple of pounds) ... After I'd had my youngest, I became very underweight, and I was miserable and self conscious then too. I didn't feel well, I was tired, I was cold all the time, but my relationship with food was so bad then. A hereditary thing in my family is big boobs, all the women in my family have big boobs and I used to be so self conscious about them the most. From school onwards, I always got comments on them. People think it's a compliment but that's not how I used to take it. It was such a personal thing for me. Especially when guys could get really full on... so when I was at my smallest, I was relieved I had small boobs for once... but I was so unhappy with the rest of me. I knew I was too thin. It was actually a conversation with my now husband that made me start to realise that actually, boobs, in general are awesome. I started to look at my friends who don't all have perfect bodies, but they all have great bodies in different in different ways. All bodies have their best bits, and I started thinking that maybe my body before was actually better than I thought it was, and I wanted it back, big boobs and everything. I know I'm not fat, working out is one of things I enjoy most and I'm probably the most comfortable I've ever been. I'm never going feel bad abut my body again. It's grown and pushed out two beautiful humans That's what I'm most proud of. Body positivity is about accepting your body for everything that it is or isn't, and everything that it has been through. It has nothing to do with being fat or lazy.
You can be a normal weight, workout, eat healthy and still be positive about, and proud of your body. It's not aimed at a particular group.
There are people who's been through cancer or trauma and have scars... or people who've lost limbs, and you see those people promoting it, and that's a good thing
It’s aimed and was made by a group of lazy people people who are unhealthy. If you are happy with your body then you wouldn’t care about this. N no I’ve never seen people that that stuff has happened to advocate this.
I remember this book being released by some Insta fitness person, and she'd named it "Body positive" and a lot of slightly bigger people got so upset about it, saying that because she worked out and ate well, that wasn't promoting body positivity, and it made no sense to me.
You can't be "proud" of being overweight, it not an achievement. You can accept your flaws and be happy... that's what I always thought it was supposed to be about.
I think people forget that body positivity isn’t just about overweight people, the movement includes people with other issues, say scars from self harm or surgeries, amputees or any other health issues that have left a physical appearance on someone’s body. It’s to help those accept themselves but I think obese people (not all) have gotten hold of it and used it as a way to bring ‘acceptance’ to being overweight. So no, I don’t think it’s an excuse for people to be lazy. But I think that the movement has fallen into the wrong hands.
Haha of course! But your Images are both photoshopped 😂😂to the extreme! As I don’t doubt such people do exist in those extremities, those were clearly altered lol weird.. you could have used real ones.
Not really. I think you should be confident and happy with your body no matter what you look like. I don't think we should have this one, completely arbitrary (and insane) beauty standard that we all feel pressured to work towards. We are all imperfect in some way. You might not be overweight but you might have a crooked nose. Or small boobs. Or o-shaped legs. You might be disabled. You might look different because you have scars or burn marks from an accident. You might have stretch marks from your last pregnancy. If you're a guy you might be bald. Whatever it is, we are all different and that's a great thing. And besides... what is normal anyway?
Now, you might argue that being obese is unhealthy and that's of course right. However, it isn't insecurity and self-hatred that are going to give a person the emotional strength to lose weight. It's the confidence that comes from loving yourself.
Think of it this way: you may think your boyfriend is incredibly annoying in some regards. And perhaps rightfully so. You may think he should change in some ways... and perhaps rightfully so. But even though he's not perfect and he's got some way to go, you still love him anyway.
We should all take the same approach towards ourselves. Love yourself. Treat yourself with respect. That doesn't mean you have to be deaf to criticism or think you're perfect. I'm not talking about cockiness. Just a healthy portion of self-love. That is what body positivity is essentially about.
For context I am not fat, but I am lazy/unhealthy and dont have an ideal physique. That said, I am not going to demand that my body type should be celebrated and viewed as having the same sex appeal as men who are six feet tall with muscular physiques and six packs. I think its retarded to expect society to change their perception of beauty just because you don't fit that definition.
so let's look at ALL the people talking about body positivity. are they ALL unhealthy and promoting unhealthy lifestyles? are NONE promoting simple acceptance while still promoting being healthy? again you are speaking objectively about a matter that cannot be simply broad stroked. there are thousands if not millions of positions on body positivity. some are unhealthy people suggesting people get off their back, some are like michelle obama who is in shape and promotes body positivity while also spending her life advocating for healthy lifestyles.
In some cases yes and in some cases no. Well I don't think anyone should be ashamed of their body I do think that people should try to be healthy. At the end of the day it's their choice what they do with their body and life.
I just don't think promoting being fit and trying to motivate people to be healthy is a negative thing (which the body positivity movement seems to make it at times). Yeah there are different body type some may never be supermodel thin and some people have health issues that prevent them from losing weight. They shouldn't be shamed though I do believe that someone saying people should try to right and exercise isn't shaming,
Keep in mind that a lot of people aren't lazy but have little choice in the matter because most healthy food costs too much. When you are on a very limited budget and have to make a choice between A) not paying the rent and eating healthy OR B) paying the rent and not eating healthy, they opt of B because they really don't have a choice.
Do you live on your own? Paying all you own bills? Have a job yet?
I doubt it.
When you do, then I will respect your opinion. Right now you have a very simple black and white vuew if the wirld typical of know-it-all teens who grow up to become Republicans.
Let me give you an example of the things that you don't think about that you will eventually learn in the real world...
You wrote this: "Well they shouldn’t have had kids if they weren’t able to support them. Simple. They don’t get a pass."
Here's a real-world case in point. Woman is a stay-at-home mom who married her highschool sweetheart. Her husband is an NYFD firefighter. They have with 3 little kids living in their new home in Queens. On his salary, they can make ends meet. On 9/11, her husband is killed. His life insurance and their savings are able to pay for the funeral and about half the mortgage, but this woman suddenly finds herself with no income and 3 kids and a mortgage. She still has to be a mom but now the breadwinner. She eventually gets 2 part-time jobs working in supermarkets, but her income is less than half of what her husband's was. Not only does she still have that mortgage, but now she needs to pay for daycare while she works.
Their family suddenly went from solid stable middle class to working poor. While in that solid stable middle class, the family ate reasonably healthy. Now, "organic food" is out and cheap carb-rich meals like pastas are what's necessary just to survive.
Should they have planned any differently? They WERE saving. They did have life insurance.
The answer is that the real-world reared its ugly head. No amount of planning can protect you. That's life.
That example that I gave above actually did happen because I know that mother.
Learn the lesson I just taught you because it is not a matter of if it will affect you, but when. That is life.
Don't bother replying because I am muting this thread.
Omg, I just seen the girls pic and I’m glad that it might be photo shopped. Looks like a skeleton. I would feel sorry for her if it were real but since I think it’s not. I will say that she looks like Skelator.
But that's my point. The bar is different for different people. I've learned from G@G (or at least the avg. guy on G@G that i like women with more meat on them. To me what looks healthy they consider fat. I think people should exercise 20 minutes everyday. weight train a little. and maintain an active lifestyle. Beyond that not obsess about their genes.
Medically speaking anyone with a bmi of over 30 is considered obese but a bodybuilder could have him of over 30 and He's not fat. Also not everyone carries a little extra weight the same. I work with this woman who has a bum over she just gets Xavier. It kind of helps that she's 5'10.
