I've been thinking something and I just wanted to share it. I find it really challenging to maintain a positive body image in today's society. It seems like everywhere you look, there's some sort of criticism or unrealistic standard being pushed onto us. Sometimes, it feels like no matter what I do, I'm never good enough.

hey it's a common feeling but the important thing is to understand where the narrative was formed in your head in order to reverse it.

Thank you so much for sharing it might have taken a lot of courage to open up, I wish to know “what do you think about yourself “ more than society lets try to first understand our relationship with our body, shall we?❤️🫂

Heya everyone This is my first time using the app.Kindly ignore any mistakes. I am kind of chubby or you can say overweight 24 years old girl.Initially I didn't have any insecurities.But since a year or two when I moved to Delhi.I constantly try to fit in among people.But it feels like I'm losing a part of me.🥲
hey Anonymous. one needs to be physically fit, not to please anyone but for urself. Being overweight should not be the reason for your insecurities . You need to accept yourself first only then others will accept you if you feel you are loosing urself trying to fit in... ask yourself what is it that you are doing that's creating discomfort within you ... identify and work on it.. good luck 👍
Hello Thank you for sharing and you don't have to be sorry for anything. This is a safe and non- judgemtal space for you. I can understand moving to a new city comes with lot of adjustment issues and it's hard. I wil suggest talk to our mental health professionals on their live sessions so that you can talk about it more and will get the help you require

My school classmates forced me to send my pictures on our group chat as we had not seen each other since long, but when I did post them, they started telling me how much I have changed and how much weight I have gained. This has made me feel terrible about myself but I don’t want it to effect me. What do I do??
Ofcourse you must have gained weight since you met them last,and I am assuming it was many years back. If you were conscious about yourself, you would not have send the pics, the fact is rhat you are not liking their opinions about yourself. Have that clarity, and don't let others opinions affect you negatively....be confident as what you are.

don't be afraid of judgements or criticism from others but be mindful that you don't do the same to yourself... be your best friend 😍❤️ Appreciate yourself often . shower yourself with unconditional love then what others say won't have an negative effect on you...and you have your power back

I'm very flat chested as well as underweight. I'm very insecure about my breast. I stuff pads in my bra just to look a little bit appealing. But, once my classmate asked me that "how come you became 28B from 26A?" This shattered my confidence and ruined my mental peace. What should I do guys?
Anonymous-3d
I myself suffered from this before! All the ladies in my family taunted me again and again on how clothes doesnt look good on me coz I dont have a fat ass and good breasts. It actually shattered me a lot but now I just ignore them. Ik I am better than them and thats enough
Hi there, I hope you are well. Your bra or breast size doesn't define you :) you may be genetically inclined to having smaller breast size which is absolutely okay. Just embrace it. - Also, try to gain weight in a healthy manner if you feel that you are underweight. - Include enough protein, nuts, seeds, dates, ghee, lean meat, eggs, millets, dairy and dairy products for healthy weight gain. - If you are looking for some advice on gaining weight, then you can book a one-one consultation with me. I shall be happy to guide you :) - Also, surround yourself with people who support you, encourage you, love you, respect you for who you are, and like you the way you are. Find support groups, and seek professional help if needed. Take care and stay positive ✨ you are worth it !

I'm a chubby girl. and I've always been proud of it. But I can't seem to accept my arms and it's folds as it is. One time I wore a gorgeous sleeveless outfits and got so many compliments but some also said, that I've got really big arms. It really affected my self esteem. How do I deal with this???? @Intelligent_Rocket_0277

Practice self-love and self-acceptance by repeating positive affirmations about yourself. Focus on your strengths and the aspects of your body that you appreciate.

There are many myths linking attractiveness and love to body size. What's your take on debunking these myths from a nutritional perspective?"
Sure! Here's a simple breakdown: 1. **Myth**: Being thin equals attractiveness and love. - **Debunking**: Attractiveness and love aren't solely determined by body size. People are attracted to various qualities beyond physical appearance, like personality, intelligence, and kindness. 2. **Myth**: Eating less makes you more attractive. - **Debunking**: Eating a balanced diet that nourishes your body is important for overall health. Crash dieting or extreme restriction can harm your body and may not lead to long-term attractiveness. 3. **Myth**: Being overweight means you're unlovable. - **Debunking**: Weight doesn't determine worthiness of love. It's about self-confidence, respect, and finding someone who values you for who you are, not just how you look. 4. **Nutrition Perspective**: Focus on nourishing your body with a variety of foods rich in nutrients like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains.

Body positivity is an empowering movement advocating for the acceptance of all bodies, regardless of societal or media ideals. This concept is particularly important for women, who often face intense pressure to conform to specific beauty standards. Women's body positivity is about embracing and celebrating the diversity of female bodies in all their different sizes, shapes, colors, and ages. It is about recognizing that all bodies are beautiful and worthy, and rejecting the idea that a woman's value is tied to her appearance. This movement aims to help women cultivate a positive relationship with their bodies, encouraging self-love, self-acceptance, and self-care. It promotes the idea that everyone deserves to feel comfortable and confident in their own skin, and that respect and inclusivity should be the norm. Body positivity inspires women to focus on their capabilities, strengths, and character, rather than their appearance. It sends a powerful message that beauty is not a one-size-fits-all concept, and encourages society to redefine its perception of what it means to be beautiful. In essence, women's body positivity is a celebration of women in their most authentic form, advocating for self-love, acceptance, and a healthier perspective on the female body.more
