Body Diversity is a Lie Hard to Swallow and To Digest

ps. I still hate my body

I don’t believe in body diversity.

There is a false sense that all bodies should be embraced, but that’s a lie.

A perfect body is still one without perfections, and the people with perfect bodies are still the ones most successful in our society.

I believe that body diversity is only another lie to sell more products to more people. And this is frustrating.

I am 31 years old, and all my life, I have been told that I was worthless because of my fatty belly and my saggy boobs. All my life. How do you want me to believe the opposite? How do you want me to have a healthy relationship with my body?

You are asking for a miracle, which I came to accept it’s not happening. I will probably never be 100% happy with my body because all I know it’s how to hate it.

And after all these years telling me that my body was wrong, that I was the problem, you tell me to embrace it? What am I supposed to do with this information?

I am damaged, but not because there is something wrong with my body, but because I was sold a lie. The picture of a perfect body. Photoshop. Lies and lies and lies.
