Hello, ladies. Today, I would like to ask you something interesting. I have a sudden question at the very outset: Do you love your body the way it is? especially when it comes to the “skin tone. “It’s just a closed question, with two possible answers!
I came up with this particular topic with a few videos I came up while scrolling down. I thought to talk about this, especially because many are talking about this in both a positive and negative manner. Why should we feel good about our body shape?
Body positivity is all about respecting and appreciating the way your body is, regardless of its size, skin tone, gender, or physical abilities. Hopefully, this is what “Body positivity” reflects. I am fine with it. Simply because most of the features that we have inherited with our genes. You have no choice sometimes. This affects drastically when it comes to, skin tone, obesity etc. Today my core is lying here.
In a country like Sri Lanka, we have a wide range of skin tones stretched from light to brown and black. I accept and respect “body positivity” as a think tank, whereas meantime I feel that the very think tank secretly promotes unhealthy lifestyles, like obesity, and whitening.
Yes, there are times I myself feel I am not good enough, not fitting with the vibe going on. But, you know? there is no one like you on this planet and you are specific and unique the way you are indeed. I feel that the whole notion of “body positivity” is turning toxic by now. The original meaning of that “you are already ok” seems to be deviating.
I am trying to tell you that you are totally okay the way you are. The real reason for your obesity or skin tone might be something genetic or geographical. It is not your fault at all. The only point you need to take care of is improving yourself in a healthy manner—stressing the term “healthy manner.” If you need to reduce fat in your body, just go with a healthy diet. That’s okay.
But do not be prey to some marketing campaign. It is worse, and such campaigns are strategical always, mostly profit, fame plus money motivated. Your very idea of shaming yourself, less self-esteem, and personality is their wish. Then they act accordingly, shaping you up against your natural structure. There are many other ways and means for you to improve yourself.
See, today we are seeing all big fat bodies as well as black bodies performing well globally. They are always unique in their own way. How much confidence does such a body type want to emerge? Your heart is big. That is the spirit!! You are always beautiful, if you need any change do it natural and healthy way. Never be the prey of ongoing marketing campaigns.
How do you feel? I would love to hear from your side…..
