#EverydayLookism

Story 951

I have always had comments about how skinny I was. Growing up, I was told being curvy and 'womanly' is the beauty standard. Growing up with an ex-boyfriend who would always look at other curvier body types, paired with parents who would tell you to just drink water when you're hungry, and in a society where it is okay for older men to say to younger girls that they are not good enough or curvy enough- I am 21 years old and I still struggle today with ever enjoying how I look.
