Omg I hate this stupid logic. I heard it many times too about other situations. One doesn’t need to be good looking to be happy and successful. It’s subjective!!! Who cares? And weight? So many women are convinced they must be skinny. I also wonder if it’s generational. Thing from the past. My parents are decent people and my mom was the sweetest woman but they put so much weight on looks and always commented on peoples looks. I really hope people stop thinking that way. Ridiculous and damaging for people
Thanks for this!
