Most women are dissatisfied with their bodies this is nothing new but young women have become more and more in secure since the advent of social media something is always too big too small too thin or too fast or too little too short term or long or too much. On instagram and platforms like it those who are judged to be the most beautiful are rewarded with the most likes and clicks hours spent on mobile phones fuel mutual comparisons and evaluations young women tend to focus a lot on what they are not or do not have and they feel an added. What. Bill clinton said we cannot escape the power of images because its causing insecurity especially among women and young girls it affects men too but i think with all these pictures social media causing people to feel more insecure. In those in our society you can only be too thin or too fat you can never fit in thinking i feel beautiful the way i am now i feel comfortable charming and attractive as much as being a woman isnt d. C. Pressure on women is also have because the female body has been central to the formation of womens identity for centuries almost indeed its been from on these as this is kind ons noise for me its not a completely new phenomenon of course but social media has certainly amplified the issue of you will. Have to. Believe you are human or through youre dealing with young people who arent fully settled in their identity yet so these things have a particularly strong effect on them. But im going to fly think were facing a real problem and there is no simple solution. As youre making money i havent always felt comfortable in my body but ive always been very interested in fashion. I used to pay a lot of attention to the media. And i bought into its ideal of beauty my body just never fit into that mold and goes. Beyond real people compare themselves with these norms most of them fall short on what i think theyre not beautiful enough or not finish for not toned enough or not this enough or not that enough. So they can fit. Because the whole social media hype started on platforms like Instagram People started thinking that not only supermodels look that way but normal girls too and. So on and off. Their. Instagram i used instagram for things thats the inspiration. I looked at a lot of photos of extremely slim models theres even a hash tag. Thats all about very skinny people posting pictures of themselves to encourage others to lose even more weight to work out even more and to eat even less. I wake up in the morning and the 1st thing i do was look at pictures of thin models on instagram. They werent just models they were also normal girls just normal girls with anorexia. In the head of me that a suit of perfection to fit an ideal image can become destructive. System then my behavior becomes compulsive i feel forced to make myself prettier to improve myself just so many speak of an inner voice some even called a dictator who thought bids them to do things and for pete that this case is no longer a choice but an order to follow that sign the image which. Is a forked used many young people respond to that with depression this would be boosted a bit before theres a conscious is fed with all these messages. And that settles into their thoughts and always its like a sediment of sadness because they cant achieve what they desire. Seem to be at. Once i spent the night on the bathroom floor because it had floor heating and i was freezing so i had no strength left. Right it and the kind of assassin my hair was falling out you see that the house that has nothing to do with beauty of feeling good. To another man you dont feel good just because youre really skinny your entire quality of life suffers from being that thin you can read the names for it it doesnt advance and. I wouldnt eat anything for months only when i felt dizzy thats when i realized i couldnt do this anymore that something had to change i had to go to therapy issues most of us and i miss most and it doesnt be muslim. The 1st and the surety that out of doesnt come any attempts to conform to beauty ideals a bound to fail when i work with my patients i tell them that if my image of myself isnt correct then i dont need to change myself to fit that image i need to adapt my image to fit my personality these girls are trying to fit their self image and if that doesnt work its because that image is too far removed from reality. I started following body positive influencers on social media instead and deleted a lot of super waves from my instagram feed. That before people see if you were female role models are very important especially for young girls the question is which ones do i choose do i choose people who are beautiful and successful life beyond say oh madonna they might seem out of reach or do i choose role models closer to me who are more attainable and who can inspire me to realize more of who i really am for. Me who wouldnt come. Yet. Now instagram helps me feel more comfortable with myself now i follow a lot of people who have the same body type as i do or are plus size. It helps to see their photos and see how pretty they are and to know they have a similar builders mine and are still attractive. Then i look in the mirror and feel beautiful again. Before. Strong is the new skinny fitness is booming and no longer just for men the internet is teaming with female fitness models who encourage other women to reach peak results what it takes they say is control and discipline. Is good in mice and mentioned see most people are doing pretty well that means storing fat for harder times isnt considered attractive and thats where this beauty standard comes from these diseases for most people being skinny isnt their natural state but the product of hard work and especially given the temptations of our modern Abundant Society where we can consume calories as often as we like staying slim is associated with effort and stress which makes it more of a status symbol. Which clothes for. This is an odd stops in order. My day to day life as a bikini athlete includes a lot of training of course i workout almost every day. Or. More important though is getting the right nutrition in between. And that means i always have to plan my meals i cant just go somewhere for a day without having cooked in advance. So if i know im going to be out the next day i have to buy and prepare everything the evening before and in addition i still have a lot to do on social media and i also make my youth. Videos myself many hoops media. But i was never that skinny look at that. So to. Give jeff you mentioned you want to mind a shrunk you know it is many people think that being thin is really important thats the slight doubt that i think fitness has become the guiding principle for a good body fitness and because if i need to yeah i did for especially for young woman because fitness is an ideal a norm that goes far beyond physical exercise found theres fit for fun fit for work for life fit for sex fit for everything and that actually has a strong relation to the theory of evolution survival of the fittest which feeds back into the concept of competition and success. Ok and i want you to come but i think i have some competitions coming up and that means im on a diet i have to eat less calories and i burn and well i eat really healthy. And he soon. He says. Im on far as most in with you but youre really motivated and you still have a lot of calories and with time your calories drop as your body had absent things become more and more difficult as you must be its hard for women to maintain a low body fat percentage. Of heart or in this vein so maybe hell be assumptions and it gets really tough is that my deficit is at its lowest and i cant eat a lot. Of course i have very hungry at times and that affects my mood. So high the small today is monday and ive got 6 days left thanks im feeling really down today. Already ramos im so mad. And i dont even know why. I feel like crying and i dont know why i have somehow managed to force myself through my leg training and i did my cardio workout experience im not even hungry thats how angry i am but im going to eat a little now anyway because i still have to take in a fair bit of protein if you drive us over. You know he would sing the moves for i would say this kind of a version to pleasure is g. To an intense body cult its your minds response to our bodies objectification even as within the. T. V. When we start seeing our bodies as little more than objects things that we have no loving relation to or degrade them to tools to perform better to be better to be special to be admired. Then we are ultimately separating ourselves from our emotions in and one slit in the incident from. Whats your my motivation is to keep Getting Better i dont compare myself to others i just want to improve myself and. Keep your kind of work against you in a way theres no upper limit to fitness you can always get fitter and that logic can perpetuate itself into infinity and wanted to keep you. Stuck with the work i do on my body paint off has got to imitate the wall i think there was a time when Natural Beauty was more desirable but it seems like we departed from that a long time ago americans we are winning these days we prefer to acknowledge people who have invested a lot of work maybe even had an operation or have stuck to a strict diet and exercise a lot of us. Who have monitored and measured and worked hard on themselves that help. Me its all about pride i go up there in my high heels youre standing there youve worked so hard for this moment and now you get to show it off to me its a moment of pure happiness. I think so many things the film. This keeper of the can he exclaimed i have to admit without a trace of envy that some people achieve really impressive results with their bodies. Of setting up of the in the who actually spends that much time energy and money on their body can change it quite a lot but this ideal of it ever being possible to reach a state of permanency or that im ever done working and can be happy i dont think that ever happens and i believe that is what keeps us stuck in this rat race list. I need you to see me to learn it from having 200 grams of chicken breast with bell peppers and red onions. Every. Big quitters size 0 mannequins in the shop windows if they were real women theyre big stream under white almost all male dominance on the other hand would weigh about average why hold women to different standards. The militia of its imported from masculinity is symbolically associated with reason rationality and the shaping of the world and of politics the critique within for. Women are associated more with sensuality irrationality their supposedly closer to nature and more emotional. She does so i get up at a should also perhaps be more at home responsible for housework all this is expressed in these pictures where girls and women are to be desired theyre expected to be objects of desire what they say and do is less interesting and i believe social media is giving new rise to this imbalance here people are compared rated and shamed and i must add there is a remarkable amount of shaming rituals on social media thats guardians of child media on. Obviously pushy most for. This anxiety its almost business as usual to be attacked as a woman and if your voice your opinion the readers in my case its mostly male readers wont respond with arguments theyll say youre ugly youre fashion nobody would want to screw you anyway they immediately make it about my gender and my body and cup i. Was busy at one station so for me weve been observing a massive amount of denigration of women in the social media insults threats violent speech to say the least has gone from phone events thats when u. T. M. Is to insult them all come stock to devalue their femininity. And to devalue their person with sexualizing remarks and 6 when these years of. The exit come in thought the worst comment i ever received was your subhuman why dont you become a stripper or a hooker and hang yourself and there are other people who right get yourself sterilized or should be cut out for more and like to bang you so you stop writing such nonsense or youre stupid youre retarded you must suck in bed i sit in bed all these things have nothing to do with my work to home. Is titled oft i often Share Screenshots of comments like that its important to me to see that i have allies who think its just as bad as i do just good also i can remind myself that not everyone thinks this way i mention things on this key there are actually plenty of people with a positive mindset and thats easy to forget that often when you read such moments youre scum and. I think its because the users can stay anonymous. That way its easier to vomit your opinion or fart on to the web and then move on. Down back to my guns off this is high protein most of the time its plain massaging. Her teeth when you look at all these hateful posts and the sheer amount of them you can see there by people who think that girls and women have already taken over the world how to say he. Think girls and women a much better off the men is that theyre taking everything away from men and that they are better educated that theyre already ahead in economics and politics goes with numbers dont support these claims but thats what they fantasize you know. I think social media is like a couple like barbie and ken. Perfect smooth no rough edges. Smooth skin probably white sheet full sensual lips so talk to. The feminine stereotype stares at us like as sold as car and women in commercials on doomed to full business and are sold as sex objects the formula for success sex sells seems to apply particularly to female bodies who are the women behind these beautified masks and what kind of wanted a living. And. Yet you so much binge not long its last summer i moved to london i was born i went out one evening and was introduced to several people. One of them was a manager an agent Something Like that goes on dad he said hed help me get jobs to improve my image for middle income. A few months ago i received a Whatsapp Message asking me to have dinner with a very famous actor so. I was offered several 1000 euros for 2 hours because man when i asked and he said i had to be ok with natural intimacy. Natch that was when i realized this couldnt be normal i said i was sorry that i wasnt an escort i was a model to the latest film and esquire this fin and model. Knew what. I was told lots of top models did it that it was normal and that they were making millions. That shocked me he tried to convince me that you couldnt get anywhere if you dont accept office like that and. Being a really not only means being successful. It can also lead to constant sexual harassment. And by the way thats also the case for most pretty women. As we all know sexuality has fairly little to do with appearance. And more to do with dominance and Power Dynamics than to give it failed. Was you know you dont hear all that sharks im often asked to take off my top or bra because they say its in the way of my portrait. Which always makes me wonder why is my bra in the way if theyre taking a picture of my face ive also had them try to help me on dress as if it were the most normal thing in the world i dont agree with that. The problem is many agencies are aware of it and just dont care whos. Not on and its before moving to london i had visited an agency in munich and they told me my hips were too wide for the London Fashion week. To me. There was nothing there i was just skin and bones but you can get so hung up on stuff like that complex. And it makes you wonder whats gone wrong with his industry. Do you have to question everything and so when i look at how my photos are taken its all staged nothings real and when i see pictures from my modeling campaigns i can tell that its not many hours of makeup styling and editing make up styling my know what goes on behind the scenes and that includes same goes for myself is i used to do a lot of work on myself is when i look at them today i hardly recognize myself and lots of people follow these perfect instagram pages because its like a dream in a world worth pursuing and its how long is this is and a very. This thing is we cant pursue it because it doesnt exist and exist yet. Middle of august himself its now im more interested in the edited pictures its important to me and my followers that i show more real photos and. Thats all they appreciate that. My mom and my thousands of pages that really touch photos should point out that its not real im not sure that these people fully realize what kind of impact it can have reduced and what it does to young people its very dangerous and i think its a crucial topic that isnt being discussed enough in our society so i need. To move on the need to mitigate the effects of photoshop and beauty if we can call that all we have to do is look different very few photo manipulations have to be marked as such that might actually help. But we cant forget that the picture still speaks louder than the label. In the age of social media not even a make up artist is an often chito way to ideal looks. Every image is digitally edited beauty apps on our smartphones make the opportunities for modeling boundless we can make our eyes bigger our noses smaller our lips our cheekbones higher our faces lino our skin more perfect all of the swipe of a finger all the click of a mouse digital optimized solves sell better than out on edited so. The industrys new advertisers are socalled influencers. The big game and i pity you. With over 300000 instagram followers influencer jenny has more subscribers than some daily newspapers Companies Use internet stars like her to advertise products and make lots of money jayney cant afford to look anything but flawless. Which instagram is included Jack Instagram is a work of art i do it to keep up with people of course i edit my pictures i pimples or retouch but if i think about it and try to think of a good reason for it then its different than just wanting to fit in for example i used to have very bad acne if this bill had the people didnt care why i added. They just wrote me off as someone who didnt take care of herself them big ass he can inflict. Genocide i just went if they got a source i cover up my principles its self defense as soon as you dont meet societys standards you have to put up with people looking at you sideways. I often say that no matter how hard i pushed the idea of being yourself and loving yourself for who he wore it still felt too risky because i have a fairly wide audience. Im still afraid i bought a ring light and sat far away from the camera in my videos so that you couldnt see my acne and one way or another it still gets to you you feel boxed into a corner and wonder am i really any different to the rest. My space buddies and knowing media and with these new media that weve noticed that were moving away from looking at other peoples faces and rating them as a pretty very pretty average viewer for want to give to seeing our own faces being critiqued because its see thats as it was thats something we had to deal with much less in the past few feet beaning off talked through should be feedback because we get feedba
