i’ve been following arnell & alissa for many years now and i know they’ve both been on journeys with their bodies. i believe that they are shockingly beautiful no matter what size they’ve been (and never have been fat, maybe thick at best), but im thinking they suffer from body dysmorphia or something because why did arnell get a consultation for arm lipo???
she is completely perfect the way she is and i wish more women could see that. it feels like everyone is competing to be stick thin regardless if thats what actually looks right for their body. but maybe i am biased bc i am plus sized so everyone smaller than me looks great in my head. i dont even mind my own body because well.. its just my body. i always carried my weight in a “curvy” way and i dont try ro fight against it. i just feel like the beauty guru space must be so toxic. i guess the point of my post is, lets all make an effort to be really kind to the women we see online, because the negativity will definitely get someones psyche no matter how much “success” they have. ozempic, bbls, etc have all done numbers to our heads.

tldr; arnell armon posted that she got a consultation for arm lipo, while she isnt going through with it, im concerned about the negative body images going around the beauty community in our ozempic era
I see this completely differently. I’m in a similar position to these women. I recently lost a lot of weight but I’m still considered curvy. I’ve done this through changing my diet and weights. Very little cardio because I like my rounder shape. But I have loose skin and stubborn areas of fat that just don’t reflect the healthier women I am now. I’m not skinny, I don’t want to be skinny. But I love the new me that finally made the decision to care for myself. These women look incredible healthy, far from the stick thin you mention.
It’s her body not yours, you are projecting your anxieties about your body and people judging it onto a complete stranger just because you see her having things in common with you and that makes you see her and her choices as an extension of you and commentary about you.
She has no obligation to you or anyone to keep her body in a way that she doesn’t like just to make you feel better about your own body. It is not body positive to care this badly about someone else’s appearance even though you tell yourself it’s for the “right” reasons.
It’s just a alternate manifestation of the type of thinking that leads to dysmorphia and EDs, the sickness has just disguised itself in the Trojan horse of “I’m just worried about what it means for women’s self-esteem” to trick you into accepting it into your thoughts.
