Moesha fat shaming is evidence beauty standards is all an illusion

I've enjoyed binge watching my favorite show on Netflix I grew up on but now I see things different and how we were deceived and programmed by these shows.

Moesha was one of the hottest shows growing up. Another great memory of the greatest era, the 90s. I remember rushing home to watch Moesha. You didn't even need cable.

But because sometimes because of maybe behavior, chores or plans, I never got to watch each season and episode in its order. So I think the hype of this Netflix access to watch in the order released has made me see the show so differently.

I was Kim growing up

Growing up watching Moesha I always saw myself as Kim. My childhood bestfriend I saw as Neecy. I felt connected to Kims character because she was so creative, pretty and goofy. She also struggled with school. I had a hard time in school and I focused on my many talents which gave me a slight bit of confidence. I was always considered fat growing up so inside I had low self esteem but I played it off by being goofy around the people who knew me. Trying to keep them laughing so they wouldn't call me fat. I remember them fat shaming and always playing down Kim in the show which made me to believe her size and my size was fat because they said so. But looking back at the show at her size and looking at my old pictures I realized this was not even fat.

This was the perfect size in my eyes. Kim was beautiful and if I had to pick today any size between Moesha and Kim I would say take me back to my twin size. She was winning.

Now it's called thick and the size people want to be now.

It's just all an illusion which is why we have to love our self

In another episode Moesha was voted the biggest butt in school. She was upset . In this day women is shooting weird chemicals and stuff in their butts just to be called big butt. Oh how times have changed. This is why we have to overlook the things they call flaws. These are our beauty marks. We have to love every bit of ourselves first and make changes only for the better of our health not for likes and acceptance from others. If we seek others approval we will always be changing our appearance and focused more on what they call flaws rather than seeing our true beauty from the inside out.
