We are a superficial, critical society, and we spend far too much time worrying about how people look. This one's too fat. That one's too skinny. Oh, look at the splotchy skin on this one!
I'd like to clarify that I'm not immune to this. I'm not a fan of the collagen lip injection trend. In fact, I'm not a big fan of cosmetic surgery in general. But I'm not going to take to social media and shame people for their appearance. Hence today's post.
Imagine being overweight your entire life. You try diligently to lose weight, but can't keep it off. Then a drug comes along that could help you lose weight and make you healthier. You take the drug and start to feel better. Next thing you know, people are saying you look too skinny. It's almost like they prefer you fat and unhealthy.
Sorry, I'd like to opt out of this game. Yes, I do have my own preferences when it comes to personal appearance and healthy choices. Heck, I just did a post about healthy eating. But you know what? It's not my place to share my unsolicited opinion on someone else's appearances or lifestyle choices. Do you want to try the new wonder drug and lose a lot of weight? Great! Don't trust the science yet? Awesome! Collagen injections? Like I said, it's not my thing, you do you!
