![]() ![]() Only a small percentage of the population actually fit this aesthetic and they may have issues of their own. For no good reason other than the fact that society has decided on an aesthetic, which is nowhere near what most of us look like. It makes me so sad that they should feel the same as I did. I’m sure nearly every young girl is going through this same moment of realisation at some point as they grow up. It produced years of torment growing up and is something that I speak about passionately. I do – and it made me feel like there was something wrong with me. That you hated what you looked like in the mirror or realised that your body wasn’t what it’s ‘supposed’ to be like the fashion industry demands/portrays? I wasn’t the ‘slim’ model that graced every magazine page.ĭo you remember the first time you realised your body was ‘wrong’? I didn’t fit the picture in the magazines. I was too butch, too athletic – thick thighs and broad shouldered. Like 92% of women (pretty much every woman), I had issues with my body too. So it’s a choice you will come up against – do you want to be happy or constantly agonizing over how you look? Let me explain more. You won’t be happy if you are constantly chasing this type of beauty because physical beauty is completely subjective. Is getting a thigh gap really going to make you happy? Is focusing on aesthetics your whole life going to be worth it? It's hounded with images like these that tell you what you are supposed to strive for - the epitome of beauty.
