It shouldn’t matter what someone eats or how they seem to others. However, a lot of the time, people think they have the right to judge others just because they think they are more intelligent and attractive than they are. This kind of conduct is impolite, disrespectful, and invades the private of others.
Brittany Jacques is a curvy young woman who adores her appearance. Sadly, not everyone agrees with her about how she looks, and as a result, she is the target of fat-shaming.
She had previously dated men who finally deserted her due to her weight, leaving her to question if she would ever find real love with someone who would accept her as she is.
Even if reducing weight wouldn’t make Brittany love herself more, she gave it some thought.”I came to the realization that if I did that, I would stop loving myself. I would be altering who I am to suit someone else’s idea of beauty,” she said.
In the year 2020, Brittany had a memorable encounter with a man named Matt. “Britt seemed so at ease in her own skin when I first met her, and I adored that about her. He adds of her, “She doesn’t want to change anything, and I would never urge her to.
They even got married and had a child together, but despite the fact that their love became stronger, they found it difficult to overcome the cruel remarks that they were continuously receiving from total strangers.
“I wasn’t sure if I was ever going to find someone who really loved me for who I am, but after meeting Matt, I couldn’t be happier,” Brittany said.
The majority of the remarks we’ve received, according to Matt, have been posted online. “I do notice people staring when we walk down the street,” he said. “People comment on Instagram and suggest that I’m not big enough or a man enough for her,” he continued.
Sadly, fat-shaming is a form of bullying that hurts the people who are subjected to it.
Bullying affects its victims so severely that it has a lasting impact on their lives for years after the incident. It damages their self-esteem and may cause children to begin believing that they are not as valuable as their classmates.
Social isolation, difficulty sleeping, despair, anxiety, psychosomatic symptoms like headaches and stomachaches, and in the worst instance, even suicidal ideation are some of the aftereffects of bullying that the victim goes through.
According to a CNN report from 2021, fat-shaming is a major issue that has an enormous impact on a lot of individuals.
Fortunately, more and more individuals are becoming aware of its detrimental effects. Many groups currently work to raise awareness of the value of accepting and embracing yourself just as you are. The Fat Acceptance Movement is one such group, and it has had such a significant impact that it is now tackling these problems in workplace and healthcare contexts.
