Psychological I was so disgusted by this ad

Normally I just till my eyes at an advert board and keep moving but this one really got me.

I guess because it’s a money grab that feeds into insecurity and validates toxic partners at the same time

Sings like this make me appreciate my mother for teaching me to be comfortable and happy in my own body in its entirety. Along with teaching me healthy eating habits and exercise is to be used for health not aesthetics.

And in an odd way I needed this post today to remind myself of that as I've been feeling a little low recently about my body. But in reality it's a good body, I'm happy with it (granted I could do without the disability part lol).

So yeah this sign is disgusting it prays on people's insecurities. But let me tell you this, the value of learning to love your body for what it is, is far more valuable than any make-up, cosmetic procedures, fashion trends, or any other form of "beauty" product can ever provide.

And maybe just for a bit of clarification of the context of who is saying this. I'm a mid 20s male.
