Hello! We are Mafer and Celia, from Peru and Panama respectively and we're co-editors of the blog. We will be publishing twice a week so we hope you don't get bored with our posts and instead join us in this war against body shaming! So, why is creating a strong conscious about against body shaming so important? Beauty comes in all shapes, colours and sizes. Everyone is beautiful in their own way and its important to learn how to appreciate it. Some believe that making overweight people feel ashamed of their weight or eating habits actually helps them motivate them to lose weight but this is totally wrong. We live in a world were people think its ok to judge others by the size of their weight or their flaws instead of learning from our difference and acknowledge how this make them beautiful. According to Authority Nutrition, "In a study of 93 women, exposure to weight stigmatizing information made overweight women, but not normal weight women, eat more calories and feel less in control of their eating". This is a problem that affects not only women but also men. For example, on a study exploring the connection between relationships and body image, " concluded that men who have body issues were likely do excessive exercises, use drugs and steroids, suffer depression and feel dissatisfied with their looks". This shows that "fat shaming" of any kind causes overweight people to become more stressed and end up eating more calories and gaining more weight. On these weekly posts, we will talk about important issues about beauty campaigns, proud ambassadors of real beauty that are battling body shame and so much more. Join us on this adventure to celebrate individual beauty!
