As a person who has been body shamed, this picture of Adele going around the Internet has triggered a lot for me.
A thread.

I do not understand how a conscious person can take a picture of someone who has worked on herself,make a “joke” out of it... I don’t understand why people feel like it’s funny to say that someone is worth a lot more because he/she looks a certain way.
Do you have to shame her previous body in order to praise her new body?
When I first put on weight I was body shamed by anyone and everyone back home. I remember my mom thinking it was funny going around and like telling people

oh my God when I saw her at the airport I couldn’t recognize her this woman was lying but we move. I remember running into a cousin whom I haven’t seen in quite some time and the very first thing she said was “Basilice c’est quoi ce poids?”
and I just laughed it off because what are you going to say to that?
I was made to feel like I wasn’t beautiful, like I was worth less because of the way I look. I remember going to family events or being a bridesmaid at a wedding

and people being like wow why would you accept to be a bridesmaid next to her when you look like that. I remember my own dad telling me if he was a man in my day j’aurai passé inaperçue, a ‘friend’ telling me “I don’t understand how men find you attractive.”
Almost everything around me, social media, family, so called friends, made feel like I had to loose weight to be beautiful. Thank God for those real friends though, the ones who help you see yourself for who you truly are... honestly seeing this stupid meme has triggered a lot
it made me reflect on my journey of self love and acceptance and to say that it’s a miracle that I truly do think and believe that I am beautiful, I am worth it and that that has nothing to do with the skin I am in, but more with who I am as a person is understatement.
It has been a long journey, but I made it

For anyone reposting the stupid meme thinking it’s funny, it really isn’t. You are telling someone out here “yes, you aren’t worth loving until you look a certain way”

“you should feel lucky to be in that relationship, feel lucky he loves you nukuntu ungana” yes people really do say that! You are telling people “you have more value if you look a certain way” and that’s not okay.
We should do better challenge our mentality pour le bien de tous.
