âWe were getting ready for a pool party when I saw her wearing a pair of jeans. When I questioned why she wasnât wearing something more comfortable for the occasion, she replied, âI have thick thighs, so Iâm not supposed to wear a swimsuit, right?â In that one second, I felt this huge burst of emotion, and I literally relived my entire childhood,â shares influencer manager Siddhi Pingle, 22, about her younger sister. Her sisterâs negative perception towards her body, Pingle says, is coming from the constant body-shaming remarks both of them face from their parents. âMy parents started putting a lot of pressure on me to look a certain way. I heard a lot of comments on how my thighs are too big, and how that extra lower belly shouldnât be there,â she adds.
Out of all the socially imposed ideologies a woman unlearns throughout her life, body image ideals are the ones that take the longest to overcome. The fact that what we see in social media, movies, and shows has a way of shaping our beauty standards doesnât help things either. Though there is now more representation of female bodies of all shapes and sizes on these platforms, the question worth asking is this: Are these shifting narratives in body image conversations impacting us at a grassroot level? Can they undo the deep conditioning weâve all grown up with?
Four women who have grown up in different time periods with different sizes considered ânormalâ share their journey with body image.
