“You’re fat now huh”
“Why are you so thin?
“Eh, please take care so it’s not dirty,”
Everyone has the right to have an opinion. However, you have no right to comment on let alone regulate other people’s lives. Every word you say to other people has an impact on them even if you think it’s just a joke, because everyone’s way of receiving comments or criticism is different.
Body shaming no time, physical appearance is no longer something to be questioned.
Your Body Your Rules

What’s interesting about the case body shaming Dikta is, there is an assumption that by getting married you will be better cared for because there is someone who will take care of you. Of course, this is a misunderstanding and has nothing to do with it.
Your body, your rules! You always have complete control over your own body, and no one else. Also, remember that everyone is different, and everyone is unique.
Don’t compare yourself to others, or allow your life to be dictated by social standards by people who shouldn’t have any authority over your life. It doesn’t really matter if you have an ideal appearance preference for yourself, as long as you are happy and as long as you are healthy, just do it!
Do whatever you like, be what you want. The most important thing is never to force your preferences on others, Beauties!
