for kids who grew up over/underweight and don’t/can’t know life otherwise
for people whose parents were very strict about their weights all their lives

for people struggling with self worth
for people whose coping mechanisms affect how their body looks
for people who used to look one way in the past but now look different in a way society doesn’t approve of
for people who can’t excercise due to physical or mental illnesses
for people who can’t excercise because they don’t have time
for people who are seen as healthy by their weight but can’t pursue actual health because it would change their weight in a way that isn’t “good”
for the people who are healthy that don’t “look” healthy based on their appearance
for people who are hairy or who have no hair at all
for people who are intersex and are practically forced into conformity and hiding it
for people who are pregnant or have been pregnant and don’t like their pregnant/post pregnancy bodies
for boys and girls that don’t exactly physically fit with their standards of femininity or masculinity
for people with health problems that make it difficult to change their weights
for short people and tall people that are on “too extreme” ends of the height spectrum
for people who have been in accidents
for people who look at magazines and billboards wishing to be something that even the models are not
for trans people who aren’t passing, can’t pass, or aren’t out yet
for disabled people, for amputees, for people who don’t fit the strict definition of “normal”
for people who are bullied and made fun of
for people who have scars or stretch marks or bruises or pigmentation
for people who are self conscious about their skin color, texture, etc
for people whose lives are being run by western beauty standards
for people who bleach or tan their skin because they don’t like their natural color
for people who are stereotyped by the way they look
for people who were/are being physically/mentally abused
for people who look a certain way to please their significant others or family or whoever
for people suffering with mental illness who are unsatisfied with their bodies
for people who are told they are too skinny or too fat
for people that don’t hear that they are beautiful
for people who are valued for their bodies rather than their minds
for people who wear makeup to please others rather than themselves
for people who you need to “take swimming on the first date”
for people whose partners leave them after seeing them without makeup
for people with acne, eczema, rosacea, hyperpigmentation, etc;
for people with lines, wrinkles, bags under their eyes
for people who think they’re beautiful while everyone else is telling them they are wrong
for people with natural hair
for people who are older who think they’ve lost their beauty
for people who are younger who think that beauty means only one thing
for people who raise their children with the same beauty ideals they were raised on
body positivity is actually for literally everyone in the world
