No to BODY SHAMING

Am Kati, and this is my story.
Growing up as a kid, I had gone through different experiences that made me go through severe depression and I attempted suicide so many times that I lost count. There were many reasons that drove me to that point but one of the most prominent besides sexual abuse, loneliness etc was Body Shaming.
You are too fat, fat ugly pig, no one will ever want to marry you, you are ugly, you look so nasty, you are so dark were the words I heard every single day. These words became part of me and everytime I stand in front of a mirror I will repeat these words to myself . I hated myself so much I won't hesitate to starve myself or eat excessively out of anger or cut myself or burn myself. I hated myself more than anything.

Some years later I met the beautiful slim lady, the opposite of me. Fair, tall, slim, pretty. And she told me she hates herself so much cause her mom keeps insulting her that she is too slim and and not pretty enough and not up to standard.
And then it dawned on me, we have allowed the society give a standard to how we should look to be considered beautiful. We tend to hate our beautiful selves and hurt our own selves because of people's opinions and not based on who we truly are in the inside. Anorexia, bulimia and others all because of shaming.
I say NO
