Sometimes conforming to the pop culture's perception of beauty can cause us to feel bad about ourselves. We can look in the mirror, and no matter what size we are, we think we're too this or too that. Body image is one of my favorite topics because it's an issue that will always exist. You can be the most picture-perfect woman in the universe and still find flaws with yourself.
Plus Model Magazine has dedicated an entire issue to discuss this concept of being ashamed of our bodies. Curvy women are often given the side eye by society because of their size. Media would have you believe that in order to be attractive one must be thin. In the spread called "Is Body Shaming Present in Our Lives", Plus Model Magazine challenges this idea by showing images of curvaceous women with nearly nothing on but jewels. They are not hiding themselves underneath clothes, because they don't need to.
Body Shaming is not just an issue for "real size" women, but skinny girls and guys too. We must all learn to love our individual shapes and sizes and be content with what we have. If you take care of your body and live a healthy life, who's to tell you if you're too thick or too thin. Love yourself.
Chime in: Who is at fault for body shaming- ourselves or the media?
