Learning to embrace and appreciate my body since jumping into the entertainment industry in Asia has been the most mentally challenging task. Sadly, Asian beauty standards are a little f*ed up- basically “if you’re skinny you’re beautiful” 🤦🏻♀️ What’s worse is their standard of “skinny” is like 48kg/105lbs and under! (I was probably 48kg in 8th grade 😂) I’ve been body shamed throughout my career, questioned my own identity, and was made to feel that having a voice was not good enough to have a singing career , but ok, fast forward past all the unrealistic expectations; I have a career, I have a voice, I love working out and I’m strong af 😂 I love that about myself, and there is no shame in saying that. Hopefully I can encourage all women, all shapes and sizes, to embrace their bodies and to treat them well, with how you eat or how active you are but most importantly with healthy thoughts! I still have my bad habits (I have the worst sweet tooth) and struggle hard, but sometimes you gotta stop, flip your hair (or your coat in my case 💃🏻) and give yourself some love!

從美國搬到台灣後對於身體意象我的心智沒受過那麼強大的挑戰😂。 特別是近了演藝圈以後。 我身體形象也許不是大家在演藝圈常看到的樣子但重點主要是「漂亮」不代表「瘦」而瘦不代表48公斤一下。我國中就差不多48公斤😂 可以說我也經歷過不少「身體羞辱」也被說到讓我開始相信有好歌聲是不夠讓你走歌手的路但,管他們,最後我還是實現夢想,做自己,我愛運動,我有肌肉,我健康也很樂觀。不管別人怎麼說我愛這樣的我。希望我也可以鼓勵所有女生們,各種體質,骨架,高,矮,愛自己的身體多一點,在飲食或運動上主要是觀念要對!我當然還有我的壞習慣也會掙扎但有時候還要停留,甩一下頭髮(甩外套也可以😂)告訴自己瘦不等於漂亮,漂亮不等於瘦,漂亮等於你!哈哈 加油加油❤️
unrealistic beauty standards 在 Janice Vidal 衛蘭 Facebook 的最佳解答
https://sc.mp/2E1wZ3Z // Interview from SCMP talking about my battles with weight , body positivity and self-love. I have to make it clear that I do not endorse obesity. What I do advocate is accepting and loving yourself towards a journey to the best version of yourself. Taking care of your temple and not conforming to the standards of beauty this world is offering which is absolutely unrealistic and harsh. I’ve allowed the voices of others to bully my body including my own mind and im sure many ladies out there can relate. Shout out to all the girls working on loving their bodies because that shit’s hard and im proud of you. Every human being is born unique and evolves. Every woman is beautiful in their own right , no matter what size or shape. Can I get an amen ?
unrealistic beauty standards 在 Emi Wong Facebook 的精選貼文
當我們每天看到Instagram上的都是漂亮瘦瘦的女生,不禁覺得沮喪,好像一輩子再怎樣努力也不會長得跟她們一模一樣。我曾經因爲這樣,搞到自己吃多一口也不敢。一看到肚子胖了一点,就討厭自己,所以吃完就吐,每天都瘋狂運動,以為愈瘦就會愈快樂。但這樣的人生怎麼可能會活得快樂?保持健康固然重要,但讓自己偶爾去享受一下美食,跟愛的人去好好大吃一頓也不會有內疚的感覺才是真正的幸福和健康啊。不要再討厭飽滿的肚子,人魚線不是你人生的全部!
As you scroll down your newsfeed full of perfect, beautiful and fit bodies that seem to create unrealistic standards of “beauty” & “body goals”, instead of feeling inspired, you can’t help but feel self-conscious as to why you don’t look like that despite all the hard work you put into your diet and working out. I used to feel the same - I compared myself to all the other “fitness girls” on Instagram and I hated my body whenever I couldn’t see visible abs so I started to associate fear and guilt with eating. I ate so little and still felt like the food would make me fat so I made myself throw up. I exercised way too much and “fitness” became my unhealthy obsession and I let it takeover my life. I forgot how to enjoy food, and how to focus on creating happy memories on weekends and vacations. So I am here to remind you, and myself, that how you look (i.e. having small waist, thigh gap) does not equal happiness and it’s not what life is about. Eat well, live well, stay active - but letting yourself enjoy the things you love (i.e. eating yummmmy af food) with people you love is as important to your health & happiness. Don’t be ashamed of your weekend food baby 👶🏻 give it some love 💕
