So today I am going to talk to you about stigmas, specifically about peoples body shapes and sizes.
So personally I am stereotyped all the time because I am quite thin, the reason being I have an extremely high metabolism rate. I really don't like it when people assume it is because I don't eat much or something because I can tell you here and now that IS not the case! My sister will testify for me if you wish! My life practically revolves around food! When people assume these things I don't think they can realise the repercussions they can have on people.
I'm not a large girl, length of width ways but I believe I have experienced some of the same things as some of those people. I know that you can feel very self aware. I know that you can get very annoyed at yourself for naturally being that way or even if its caused by your food intake. Some people are naturally larger than average and when people assume that they are big because they are greedy it can't help their self esteem.
I'm not trying to an expert in this kind of thing but I do know how it feels to be judged based on your appearance. The stereotypes don't help with confidence and I just want to help those of you who might be going through the same thing and inform those of you who aren't affected just how much of an impact your comments can have on someone.
Not in my case.. but just imagine some of the consequences those comments are going to have on someone; they could develop an eating disorder or become very self conscious.
Anyway, why judge someone on their weight or height. If you are truly a nice person you will judge someone on their personality. Get to know them before making assumptions and hurting their feelings In the process!
So I say to all of you people out there who are self conscious or not happy with their body, you are all beautiful! Don't let stupid stigmas stand in your way of being happy with yourself! it doesn't matter if you are a 8UK size or an 22UK size you are still pretty amazing! :D (sorry for the cringe worthiness!!!)
So after reading this look at this picture and ask yourself would you judge this person???
I hope you guys got the general gist of what I was trying to say 
Lots of love,
Erin xoxox
