The ideal of beauty is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve.

I must say that I am not a chubby girl. I am maybe short, but with a proper BMI.
When I was little I used to be a gymnast. I was insanely underweight and that's how I know myself half my life.
At the age of 14-15, I started to grow up, to be a woman.
But I did not like the way it looked.
Because I exercised my arms were always muscular and not as thin as those girls my age.
my boyfriend I had at the time, remarked to me that my hands were fat (!!!) and till this day the part of my body that I love the least is my arms.
That's where the problems with my body started.
I wanted to have space between my thighs but my pelvis structure does not allow it. It cannot be changed.
I would take pictures in weird poses to make it look like I have.
My sister and I would check who has more space between the thighs, who has smaller breasts, who has smaller hips. It was disgusting.
Today, they all need a wide pelvis, a slim waist, a flat stomach with some line in the middle ... it's an irrational race for a body that can not be achieved. because you got a body, your body, and it's perfect as it is.

My ex would comment on my body a lot... Now he is free to find a supermodel with no hair and no fat at least.

We should be thankful of what we have and not complain all the time, Is that you in the picture?

@mayai97 You are perfect. No need to compare yourself with others because everyone is unique and special
