Today I read via Refinery 29 that Gwyneth Paltrow made some comment about having 9 chins in a picture. Um... does she not know how to count? You don't start with 9... 2, 3, 4...
I have to take a moment to say that I really dislike when people that have only perceived body issues (or body image issues) complain about them. It's not "cool". It doesn't make you seem like a "normal" person. We're not "bonding". When people do this, it comes off as insensitive to people that have real, tangible issues - like people that do have some fat under their chin, or what-have-you. Keep your "perceived" issues to yourself, please. If you're skinny, please don't complain about your "back fat", "love handles", or "stomach" (because you, like most of the women in the world, included professional models, don't have a six pack of abs). Especially around people that actually have fat on their back, stomach and hip area. Would you complain about having to wear glasses while you were with your blind friend? (Maybe that was a bad analogy...)
Anyway, in addition to coming off as insensitive, it makes the other person question - if you think YOU are disgusting, what must you think of THEM?! (Unless your goal is to make your friends feel self-conscious around you, then by all means, go ahead!)
On this note, can we all (women and, hell even men!) agree to just STOP making disparaging remarks about our bodies, real or perceived?
