    I understand Dorothy. People's words can really leave an imprint in your mind and you start to identify yourself by someone's opinion. Though people may look at you and they think you look great, mentally you cant see or accept yourself as such. Body dysmorphia, BUT we have to pray and work on it and put out more body positivity for our generation and the generation to come.

    I Ama mother of one and a size 8 and petite with a baby face, I can really relate with Ms. Ostin. It is sometimes very depressing and gets frustrating most of the time. And surprisingly, no one understands you because they believe you have the perfect body.

    I can really relate with Dorothy but I am really appreciative of her boldness however as I have learnt I hope she starts learning to speak up and loving herself no matter how it may appear. The key thing is to remain healthy. When baby comes it will get scarier. Still learning to embrace my looks postpartum whiles maintaining healthy habits without pressure

    I feel the lady in the fro. Until she explained, I now realize why I am mostly sidelined and talked down to at work. Why’s worse is I’m reserved so you can imagine. I’m 30 and most people think I just completed university (22-25)

    This was an eye-opener. Both ladies are soooo beautiful! 🤗🥰 It's unfortunate that society expects so much of a woman's body. Personally, I've never been proud of my arms because that's where my fat sits but I love sleeveless and strappy tops so everyone should deal. 😂 Love your body, ladies! It's doing so much for you already! ❤

    I'm so glad self love got me to embrace my body in whatever shape and size it came with. As far as I'm eating healthy, drinking enough water and exercising regularly. I do it because it's makes me happy, it gives me peace and keeps my confidence alive😊 but not because I need validation for my body image, not anymore.

    Goodness I should have been on this show!! I’ve been through HELL!!! For being tall and slim in Ghana?? I’ve been through hell and still going through it!! From primary school, Jss, sss, university!! From being called python, skin and bones, electric pole, skeleton, rope, broom stick, wire name it!!! I was always sad!! I would look on the mirror and cry and ask God why he made me so ugly!!! I was not confident!! I didn’t want to go anywhere!! It affected me so badly!!! Friends and family meme bets would pass nasty comments all the time!!! I was always so sad!! I felt so ugly!! Then I discovered Alek Wek, Iman, Gisele Bunchen, Tyra!! It was a whole new world for me!! There I knew that somewhere else on this planet i was the most fabulous person ever! Then I studied a lot from them. Fashion, make up!! I started building confidence, walking with my head up!!
    Even now people still pass very stupid comments but the difference is I’m so confident and I’ve sharpened my mouth for people like that!
    We do not need validation from anyone however human beings thrive on love and support and pats on the back so the same way we are affected by negative comments. Imagine every single day of your life someone telling you there’s something wrong with you because you do not look how they want you to look.
    Just recently a friend met me and said “Ei won’t you gain weight for us? You’re still the same” for you?????? I should fain weight for you.?? Because I live for you.? How does my look affect your life????
    Please don’t listen to anyone concerning your health apart from your doctor!!!!
    I hated being tall my goodness!!! I would always wear flats and bend my knees to fit in. Eiii I also learned that people pick on you because of their own insecurities. One girl who was about 5ft tall would always pick on me that I was too tall and too skinny! But it was never because perhaps she was rather too short??? Noooo I was the problem.
    Human beings!!! You listen to them get surgeries get botched and the same people will come and tell you you looked better before why did you get surgery. Smh!!

  • @TheKwakyewaa
    @TheKwakyewaa 2 роки тому +3

    I definitely can relate with them, but mine was my shoes size. I wear a size 13 in women size. When I was in Ghana I was having a hard time finding my shoes size specially when everyone had to wear the same shoes in school. Most of my shoes was coming from out of the country when it comes to picking what to wear. I can see the shame that comes from it when it’s not even your fault.

    The range Rover pulling up part.....Is so true...I'm a nurse and we barely wear our uniforms now for where I work...I have a bit of a fupa but with a banging body .the day we had an official meeting I wore my uniform with a corset underneath... My God....the complements...hmmm...I even got a hamper dropped for me a couple of days later...just for having a well kept body....so I'm a bit conscious now especially when I'm going be wearing fitted dresses

    I hope Dorothy doesn't do anything to her body; she looks so beautiful! She's been much affected and conscious about her body because of what she's been told. I have the lower abdomen fat as well, but I wear whatever I want. I do intermittent fasting, especially one meal a day, to keep a healthy BMI. No one is perfect, and as long as I'm healthy, that's all that matters.

    This is the problem am facing now
    And realy hate it that it’s normal to our people to speak to someone like that without thing twice . I was born in Holland and realise that even when I ask them do I look ugly have a gain weight they always say oh Naa you look good . There is nothing wrong with you . But when I go to church or party the things people tell makes me feel so ugly to the point of people saying how wil u get a husband gaining weight like this . Like they have made me feel soo ugly idk what to do I don’t even take pictures anymore

    • @jgjg934
      @jgjg934 2 роки тому

      Yes, keto is more of protein than anything else. Proteins, veggies, and good fats as in pear. And I don't think you need to be restricted on the veggies. She could have had lots of the Kontomire to make up.
