I was a skinny girl since childhood. Though I looked undernourished, I always knew in my heart and in my mind that I was healthy, but it was not the same thinking the society had for me. All the neighborhood aunties would tell my mother to give me something to eat and question "Don't you give her food" "She looks malnourished". My mother would go shopping for my dresses and she would always buy outfits in which I would look plumpy.
My family used to joke of me. Example being “On windy days they will tell me to remain inside the house otherwise I might get blown away with the wind
I remember vividly my ex-boyfriend telling me that I don't have a front or back assets. He constantly used to say I should eat chocolates and junk food to gain some "Meat" on my "Assets"
I got so thin shamed that I landed myself to a gym. Simply because I was fed up with all the people speaking about me and I wanted to end it by gaining some weight, via guess what – that’s right {Supplements}
This did not stop even after marriage, with someone questioning if my husband earns well monetarily or not - and does he keeps me well fed? And now, after delivering 2 babies people’s opinion has moved to the other side. They now say “I have gained weight, and that I don’t look the same”
Point is there always be somebody who think it's okay to critize someone based on there physical attributes.

Tell them that we are wonder women who comes in different shapes and sizes.I know it's take time to ignore these hurtful comments and move on.

Hence sharing few lines from one of the articles I read online "When you’re confident in what you’re wearing, you learn things about yourself that you never knew, and you remind yourself that you possess so many more qualities than you realize"
