My experience with body issues


As someone who suffers from a general negative relationship with food, I can say that the
influence of social media stars a._____________ me into many bad episodes of self-hatred in the
recent past. Take last night for example – I b._____________ scrolling for hours looking at
models analysing why I c._____________ like them and how wonderful my life could be if I did.
Actually, many influencers put out content onto Instagram which can be extremely triggering for
those suffering with eating disorders or just a negative relationship with food.
For example, a couple of weeks ago, the Kardashians d._____________ promoting detox teas
implying that by using them, you too can look like them. This is ridiculous! Surgery and a personal
trainer is what e._____________ them that. As someone who has been following the body
positivity movement f._____________ years, of course I understand their posts are toxic, but, for
many young girls, who haven’t discovered body positivity g._____________ , this isn´t so
apparent. Last week, Kylie Jenner h._____________ Kylie Skin – a line of beauty products. On her
Instagram account, Kylie suggests that the face scrub is “gentle enough to use every day”.
However, dermatologists have i._____________ criticised her products, suggesting the walnut
scrub is too abrasive for the skin, causing micro-tears and irritation.
For a young, rich girl who j._____________ countless cosmetic and plastic surgeries, to
suggest that we too can get skin like hers just by using a scrub, is beyond problematic.
