First of all, let me thank you people who have wished me from the core of their hearts for my recent achievement. I'm so honoured with that and actually I didn’t expect that much love from you people. But yes, I'm the luckiest guy right now to have that privilege. Once again, hats off my friends. You all are strength. Now, I'm moving towards to my today's topic which is related with body shaming. Totally an unwelcomed things to discuss which I wish would never existed in this world. That mentality pollutes our mind and we mock others.

Yesterday evening in my local time, I was in a restaurant and having coffee with one of my colleague and discussing about the next cultural function. I was so busy in my work that I didn’t notice that my colleague was checking a girl in front of the cash counter. She was paying her bills. My colleague pinched me and told me to look at her. I did.

- Isn't she cute?

- I agree. Just focus here.

- Buddy look again. She is cute but there is one problem.

- And what's that?

- Disgustingly, she is fat. Look at her neck, hands and obviously her tummy.

That's it. My anger needed a portion of fuel to rise and he did that. I slapped his head. He was astonished and queried for the answer. I didn’t want to make it a public fun. I hold his hand and said to calm down. He knew me very well. We completed our work, had the coffee, paid the bill and went out of that restaurant. Now I needed to answer him as he was shouting, ❝ Answer me now. Why you did that to me?

Just imagine, if it was your own sister? Will you pass comment like that way? What if she heard that? Will you go to her & apologize for it? And yes, then tell me, will it be enough to bring smile on her face? You dude, you are one of favourite person and I didn’t expect that from you. You are body shaming her! How rude! You liked her face and complemented it with the word cute but then you criticize her body! Dude, is that what you think? Then you should look at the mirror first. Your tummy is much bigger than your a__ (mute).

He understood it, said sorry and we started talking about football then. But the thing remained in my mind. How easily we judge people! Body shaming is getting worse day by day. Those questions are so odd to hear! Why that person is chubby? Really? Why and how on earth that matters to you? Maybe she loves to eat much. Maybe this is her genetic disorder or something else. And most of all, the Almighty made her that way but who are we to judge her? Who gave us the authority to do so?

Being chubby is illegal? Answer me. It's their matter. We don’t need to interfere. He/She is happy with that. We are no one to ask that or criticize that. This is harassment. In schools and colleges, they are bullied for it. Why? Is that their fault? No. We body shamed them and had fun for a moment. We don’t even think that what the person would feel inside. Why making someone feel awkward is called fun by others? This is not good. One day this will happen to you or maybe with your close ones and who knows maybe with your children too. You will have none to blame but yourself. Because you forgot things but not karma.

My heartiest request to everyone, please don’t do that. Body shaming is heinous act. No matter the person is chubby, skinny or fitness freak, we have no rights to say such words. Just remember one thing, next time you want to do such thing, please check yourself in the mirror first. Maybe you have more issues than the person you are willing to mock. Bashing someone for their body type is not okay.

This always gets into my nerves. Whenever I hear comments regarding body types, I always roll my eyes and glare at the person who's talking negatively about somebody's body type. I do hope we educate enough the younger generations to stop doing this and explain to them the reason why we need to stop it. Sadly, that attitude was passed people to people, generations to generations. But there's hope with today's generation though, I can see it with my younger students.

That's our society now, getting worse, the behavior of everyone much different than before as for today's generation they don't know the word respect to everyone they are not ashamed of what there doing, they want to say whatever they want even if might hurt for someone. They don't know if someone would hear or that person heard what your friend saying to that lady may it took her self-confidence as she might always think with her body. Salute to you as you give him the words of wisdom and that he listened to you.

Personally, I believe that we are all created uniquely. Let us not body shame someone just because they don't have the body that this society stated as the standard body. Everyone is beatiful and shouldn't be define through their body shapes.

The more we spread awareness about body-shaming, the more people try to shame other people about their body. We are in a modern world and we must all grow up and accept things the way they are. We don'g know how much effort chubby or thing girls exert in order for them to achieve their desired body goals.

It is very sad but unfortunately it happens. People focus on the appearance of other people but do not see themselves. I have been told all my life that I'm too thin. 😀Now I’m not so thin anymore so now they tell me I’ve gained a little weight. The world cannot be pleased. We will never learn to accept people as they are.

Mehn! This is really disgusting the way people bash on fellow humans because they didn't someone is not 'fine' to thejrt standard. I encounter this everyday from my co-workers(all ladies, they keep checking and finding error in a lady that comes to patronize us). It's always annoying, so I practically tell them that those they are saying ugly words to concerning their stature are more beautiful than them she they would keep shut

I was not just once a victim of body shaming but many times. It really saddened me to hear those hateful words that affected my self confidence but when I dig deeper, I tried to see things clearer that my choice is my choice , I don't need the credit from others to validate who I am. I hope those people who used to do this kind of action will see and realize it's effect to someone and the rest of the society.

First of all, I want to commend you for this write-up. I appreciate all the words written here. As a plus-size woman, I have experienced being ridiculed in a public place because of my size. I was even called ugly for being fat. What impact made it to me was very negative, I lost my confidence, and I was attacked by my anxiety because I cannot do something instantly that can make me look like a normal person in the society that is not being called fat instead of my name. Every time, I hear people calling me a pig, it first me a lot because they think that I was fat because I eat a lot but they do not know I had a condition that increases weight. There are times I starve myself to death but it only worsens my condition.

Now that I have lost some weight because finally my condition gets better and with the supplements I intake, people are saying things again that I am just trying to fit in. I don't know where should I place myself in this world. It's too cruel anywhere.

Dear Lucifer, you raised a very good topic. Some of the physical characteristics of people are God-given, and we should not ridicule them for their characteristics. The principle of ridicule is disgusting. Maybe people who have shortcomings in themselves, want to cover up their shortcomings by making fun of others.

I encourage people to be healthy always and to achieve that, they don't have to rigorously go to gym or something.. just regular walking for 30 mins everyday is enough.. I do not expect people to do anything else.. At the same time, just because somebody is a little over weight does not mean one can make fun of them... it is nobody's bloody damn business to talk about other's appearence.. They have a heart for fk's sake.. Just do not hurt others and be nice... that's all humans need to do.. I do not understand why is it so hard to people to just being nice

I once experienced body shaming because of body figure ,I am a girl but I look like a man because of some muscles in my arms and legs and because of it some one called me a gay and I was hurt and I was thinking who are they to say that on me ,they don't have the right to tell me that ,for me I am beautiful and I don't need their opinion hahaha.

Body shaming is not a good thing. God created everyone with different abilities ir structure. Who knows he or she is gking to be fat like that. What if they are trying hard to control it. So without knowing why should we talk about body. I know that fat persons try hard to lose tgeir weight they sometimes eat just a one meal per day but that does not works because the body is a goft from our God and it bocomes as the will of God. So we should not criticize anyone like that for being fat.
