The famous model Tess Holliday, a 29-year-old curvy model of the extra-wide type, jumped into the news for two reasons: the first, with her photos in which Tess proudly shows her body saying that fat people should be proud of theirs anyway. curves , photos that quickly conquered the web; the second, due to the criticisms that nutritionists and personal trainers have raised against them, saying that one thing is to accept yourself as you are, another is to talk about the pride of curves if you are suffering from obesity. Among the people who find Tess’s message misleading and uneducational is weight loss expert Steve Miller , who allegedly vented with these tones on the pages of the Daily Mail .: one thing is in fact to work in the fashion field with a curvilinear body and to be proud of it, as for those who break a taboo, another is to proclaim pride for a body affected by obesity, because obesity is a disease, and it is dangerous for Health.
The question is certainly controversial, but I agree with Tess. It is true that there is an obesity alarm, but this obesity alarm is also a direct consequence of an aesthetic diktat that has influenced the lives of us women for too many decades. Every woman aspires to become thin, not to accept herself for her constitution, because only in this way she is convinced that she pleases herself and others.Health is never the first choice of women and girls who want to get to size 38 or 40. They would be in perfect health even in size 42, 44, 46 and even 48 . Instead, they reset their metabolism, obsess over the scales, ruin their relationship with food forever or almost, allowing themselves to be influenced by the number of the scales to understand how they will eat that day, how much water to drink, how many calories to consume. Health a horn. Not to mention how many people experience excruciating side effects from dietary supplements bought on the internet. And finally, not to mention the discrimination that overweight women suffer: at work, in social life, in their loved ones.
In short, if someone like Tess instigates obesity,and obesity is dangerous, are all the ranks of models, actresses and even personal trainers and nutritionists who instigate fasting and excessive thinness harmless?
