I’ve been seeing this first picture going around on facebook and it’s driving me UP A WALL.
This, folks, is what we call BODY SHAMING. The minute you start putting down one body type in favor of another, you are NOT HELPING THINGS. In today’s society, when EVERYONE is being told constantly (400+ times a day, and that’s a proven fact) that they’re not good enough or they need to change something to be ‘hot’ or ‘sexy’, you cannot possibly blame people for wanting to change their bodies. You have no way of judging why ANY of those women look the way they do. Some people naturally have bodies that are that thin. And yes, some people starve themselves to look like that. But shaming someone for what is quite literally a disease is the lowest of the low. Regardless, no body type is any more or less ‘hot’ than ANY other body type. ALL bodies are good bodies, ALL of us are fighting a hard battle. Don’t think for one moment that you have the right to judge anyone. You wouldn’t like it if the scrutiny was on you.
Love,
EVERYONE NEEDS TO WATCH THIS NOW AND GET IT ON THEIR BLOG.
stop the hate.
this
This is absolutely important. So many people are getting hate mail on here when Tumblr should be a safe community…
I would just like to add that the word “fat” shouldn’t be seen as a bad thing to call someone anymore. So I hope some day in the future, when someone calls someone else fat, they won’t have hate in their voice and the other won’t feel hurt, but instead it will just be an adjective to describe people.

Plus Model Magazine’s provocative editorial about plus-size and runway models has started a huge discussion lately. Provocation or truth?
Read the full article here and please let us know what you think on our blog.
I don’t really know enough about the movement to have a valid opinion but from the little that I do know and have observed it’s all pretty sad. My problem with pro-ana and thinspo blogs is that the motivation is to be THIN, not healthy. And the blogs that are dedicated to genuine health tips, I mean more power to them. But to the ones that encourage torturing your body and damaging your self esteem to become thin? That’s sad and so unhealthy.
I don’t think it’s ok to make eating disorders seem glamorous or acceptable for the sake of losing weight. They are real and fucking terrible and really really hard. So to offer anorexia as a substitute for proper diet and activity? That’s dumb in my opinion, and damaging. That being said I don’t agree with the assumption that all very thin girls are anorexic, just like not all heavier girls are unhealthy. At the end of the day it’s your body and you’re going to do what you want to it, but I don’t see the good coming from the pro-ana movement.
Sometimes I hear girls rationalize by saying “I’m starving myself to become perfect” but oh my word, thin ≠ perfect. So again, I don’t know a whole lot about “pro-ana” but what I see I do not personally agree with.
