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 too fast 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 it knows is an 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 hats and they feel inadequate. We cannot escape the power of images that most of. 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. It was in our society you can only be too thin or too fat you can never fit in this thinking i feel beautiful the way i am now i feel comfortable charming and attractive as much as ever being a woman isnt easy. Pressure on women is also high 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 free will mean its not a completely new phenomenon of course but social media has certainly amplified the issue of you. Have to. Believe you are human or true were dealing with young people who arent fully settled in their identity yet these things have a particularly strong effect on them. Going to fly think were facing a real problem when there is no simple solution. As youre making out 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 medium fix it and i bought into its ideal of beauty my body just never fit into that mold. And was trying to. Be on the real people compare themselves with these norms most of them fall short on what does this and think theyre not beautiful enough or not finish for not toned enough or not this enough or not that enough or do you know its sad and fit in. With us 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. Instagram i used instagram for thats the inspiration. I looked at a lot of photos of extremely slim models theres even a hash tag. That fits 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. We 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 is that if a suit of perfection to fit an ideal image can become destructive. 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 call it a dictator who forbids them to do things he does and for pete that as this kid is no longer a choice but in order to follow that sign. I use a fork at least many young people respond to that with depression just a bit before theres a conscious is fed with all these messages. And that settles into their thoughts and 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 kind of assassin my hair was falling out musing of the our house that has nothing to do with beauty of feeling good. To another make you 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. Have a mood 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. First and then this moves and it doesnt be muslim. The 1st to see and the surety that arent supposed to 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. Body i started following body positive influencers on social media instead and deleted a lot of super waves from my instagram feed. Ready before people are seen as you female role models are very important especially for young girls the question is which ones do i choose do i choose people who have beautiful and successful like beyonce or 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 are income tax vehicle income yes here for me is that 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 woke in the mirror and feel beautiful again Going Forward to cash. In on. Strong is the new skinny fitness is booming and no longer just by man the internet is teaming with female fitness models who encourage other women to reach a crisp what it takes they say is control and discipline. Is good in my statements and 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 stock assume you are. My add to my day to day life as a bikini athlete includes a lot of training of course i workout almost every day. Or to hear 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 of you tube c. D. s so. I was never that skinny look at that. Is good just you mentioned you want to mind a shrunk you know it is many people think that being thin is really important thats just my doubt that i think fitness has become the guiding principle for a good body fitness because if im the kind of flawless specially for young woman because fitness is an ideal a norm that goes far beyond physical exercise found theres fit for fun fit for work fit 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. And i dont much think you need to come by that i think i should competitions coming up and that means im on a diet i have to eat less calories than i burn and well i eat really healthy. And he soon. He says. A month or so 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 emotionally its hard for women to maintain a low body fat percentage. Hard or theres been some and then he moves social insecurity and it gets really tough my deficit is at its lowest and i cant eat a lot. Of course i get very hungry at times and that affects my mood. So part of 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 beneath 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 so i dont you feel like i was off. You know using this means for i 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 of in the. T. V. And 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 an insulated in the incident from. You whats your my motivation is to keep Getting Better i dont compare myself to others i just want to improve myself in the. Scripture kind of work and see you in a way theres no upper limit to fitness you can always get fitter and that logic can perpetuate itself into infinity and want to help you get. Stuck with the work i do on my body pays off his cabinet said 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 i think in spirit when 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. As you saw made a decision and. Keep of that he exclaimed i have to admit without a trace of envy that some people achieve really impressive results with their bodies. And purpose of in that who will 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 in can be happy i dont think that ever happens and i believe that is what keeps us stuck in this rat race loveliest. I mean you think. Im having 200 grams of chicken breast with bell peppers and red onions. If. You big quitters size 0 mannequins in the shop windows if they were real women theyd be extremely underweight 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 to critique with and for. Women are associated more with sensuality irrationality theyre supposedly closer to nature and more emotional i. Say 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 this guidance a child needed one. Philip ashima was it a highlight of phrase he came. As a nice day 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 fact nobody would want to screw you anyway they immediately make it about my gender and my body and cup i. Was busy at whats actually sensible for me weve been observing a massive amount of denigration of women in the social media insults threats violent speech to say the least because going from phone events thats when the t. V. Aim is to insult them on stock to devalue their femininity. And to devalue their person with sexualizing remarks is a 6 for the easier to. Tax a common 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 write get yourself sterilized or you should be cut out more id like to bang you so you stop writing such nonsense or youre stupid youre retarded you must suck in bed with your face in bed all these things have nothing to do with my work to home. In style often 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 that also i can remind myself that not everyones 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 all of this is high protein most of the time its plain massaging for tea but here 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 thats a heathy racial minority think girls and women a much better off the men is that theyre taking everything away from men and that theyre better educated that theyre already ahead in economics and politics the numbers dont support these claims but thats what they fantasize right so. I think social media is like a couple like barbie and ken and perfect smooth no rough edges. Smooth skin probably white teeth full sensual lips so dr if i use the feminine stereotype stares at us like a solid esquire of women in commercials on doomed to flawlessness and or 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 what kind of walter very live it. And. Yet you so much binge not long its last summer i moved to london i was born and i went out one evening and was introduced to several people. One of them was a manager an agent Something Like that i guess own dad he said hed help me get jobs to improve my image for middle income. For a few months ago i received a Whatsapp Message asking me to have dinner with a very famous actor because i was offered several 1000 euros for 2 hours and when i asked and he said i had to be ok with natural intimacy. Nash that was when i realized this couldnt be normal i said i was sorry that i wasnt an escort i was a model. And this finn and model. Knew what it was because i was told lots of top models did it this is not 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. By the way thats also the case for less 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 right for he. Was you know you dont hear all that chance im often asked to take off my top or bra because they say it 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. Fishnets the problem is many agencies are aware of it and just dont care whos. Not long 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 in week. To me. There was nothing there i was just skin and bones but you can get so hung up on stuff like that but all complex. And it makes you wonder whats gone wrong with his industry. Do you have to question everything so when i look at how my photos are taken its all staged its nothing surreal even when i see pictures from my modeling campaigns i can tell that its not lay hours of makeup styling and editing makeup styling my know what goes on behind the scenes that include 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 a world worth pursuing and its home is this is an event and streams the 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. In this all they appreciate that. My man in my heart is the 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 on his. Second solution. To the need to mitigate the effects of photoshop or beauty if we can call that all we have to do is look different there are a 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 isnt enough to cheat your way to ideal lopes. 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 raskin more perfect all of the swipe of a finger all the click of a mouse our digital optimized solves sell better than our edited so those. Industries new advertisers our socalled influencers. The big game plan and i pity. The with over 300000 instagram followers influencer janie has more subscribers than some daily newspapers Companies Use internet stars like her to advertise products and make lots of money jenny cant afford to look anything but flawless. Which. Instagram is enclosed back instagram is a work of art i do it to keep up with people of course i edit my pictures my pimples or retouched 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 and i and my 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. That to show that hes going to pick up his horse i cover up my pimples its self defense as soon as you dont meet societys standards you have to put up with people looking at you sideways after day no matter how hard i pushed the idea of being yourself and loving yourself for who you are it still felt too risky because i have a fairly wide audience. Im still afraid i bought a ring of 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. But isnt knowing me dealing with these new media weve noticed that were moving away from looking at other peoples faces and rating them as a pretty very pretty average viewer for seeing our own faces being critiqued because it does it was that something we had to deal with much le
