Romanticising Obesity
How are you all? I will try to share my own opinions with you in this competition today. I think you will like these topics, so let's move on to the main topic of today's competition.
To be honest, I pay attention loads nowadays “Love yourself, you're stunning simply the way you are.” It’s first-class to listen to that, but every now and then I marvel if it’s certainly love, or just an excuse to cover up my own flaws? I’ve been a bit fat because I changed into a toddler. Back then, many human beings could say, “You’re overweight, you look lovable.” I might chuckle, but a question could constantly be on my mind: am I certainly okay?
As I were given older, I realised that I wasn’t just a little fat; my conduct were additionally messed up. Eating, sound asleep, shifting, the whole thing had a messiness. Still, I would misinform myself, “I’m proper simply the way I am.” But sooner or later, once I turned into struggling to respire while climbing the steps, I notion, No, I was doing myself an injustice.
We all talk about “body positivity”; however, many humans really bypass off laziness as positivity. There is a difference between looking after yourself and harming yourself. If I honestly love myself, I must listen to my frame. I need to pay attention not handiest to the smile in the mirror, but also to preserving my internal energy.
I used to be crazy about diets. Sometimes I would not eat, and sometimes I would eat a lot at once. I would be under a lot of mental pressure. Then I realised that whether it is fitness or dieting, nothing is good in excess. You cannot teach your body to love by punishing it.
Now, many people say, “I am fine the way I am.” But when I see someone having difficulty walking,
breathing, and yet saying “I am fine,” it hurts a little. We often dress up our own harm with beautiful names. But that does not bring happiness;s, it only does injustice to ourselves.
In my opinion, when talking about obesity, we should not be harsh but compassionate. We need to try to find out why someone has come to such a state. Because behind everybody there is a story — mental stress, bad habits, medication, or other problems in life. So doctors, society, everyone has to be gentle but realistic about this.
Finally, I will say one thingromanticisingg obesity means hiding the truth. It is not beauty, nor is it something to be ashamed of. It is a condition that can be understood and gradually fixed. Taking care of yourself is true love, not calling yourself good by harming yourself.
