Some people are commenting on my body, others are defending me.” What is body shaming? BODY shaming is described as "humiliating someone by making inappropriate or derogatory comments about their body size or shape". In addition, “commenting on a person’s clothing, body hair, eating habits, make-up skills or attractiveness” could be constituted as body shaming too, PsychCentral explained. While body shaming has become more of an issue in recent years, a study conducted by Glamour magazine in 2000 found that a staggering 97 per cent of women surveyed admitted to having an “I hate my body” moment. And those who shame people about their figures can include doctors and medical professionals too. A 2019 report found that more than 3 in 5 adults encounter “weight bias” from their doctors – particularly those who are obese. And body shaming someone can have massive effects on their mental health, and could potentially lead to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, eating disorders and self-harm. If you have been body shamed and are struggling to deal with the effects, you can call the Samaritans on 116 123 for confidential, emotional support. She added: “The funny thing is, this happens every summer. Every year my body makes the news again. “And then I wonder… where is the standard? Who decides what the ‘right’ body is? Do we really still think happiness has a size? “I love my curves. I love the freedom to live in the body I choose. In the body that supports me, that has allowed me to embrace, create life, fall, and get back up. “A body that deserves respect, love, and gratitude in all its versions.” Comment now
