Even though fat shaming seems to be on the wane, people still do it and some of them even more unabashedly than before. Being thin warrants modeling contracts from Victoria’s Secrets, while being fat gets you insulted on social media. And we can’t stress this enough, that this is bad.
For, hurting one’s self-esteem is never the way to go. If someone is
unhealthy to a point where it might be fatal, why not sit with them and
explain it to them? If their weight is not a problem for them, why do
you bother? People should be comfortable in their skins. This is more
important than a social body image.
Here are gorgeous women who prove being skinny isn’t better.

the body looks, and damn, she looks pretty.
