I am the only plus size person in my family,everyone else is on the skinny side. Every dinner table convo includes jokes about me. They make fun of my body on a daily basis. I didnt say anything as I thought I would get used to it but now I cant help but feel hurt by the jokes made by my own family. How do I tell them that their jokes are not okay?

Communicate it to them clearly. Put across your point sternly. just move away when such convos are going on showing resistance to them.

If you're upset, it's best to express your feelings calmly and assertively without resorting to insults or personal attacks.

I'm sorry that you're facing this! it's never okay to comment on somebody's body! my suggestion would be that you put across your point firmly and tell them how hurt you feel by all of this ! if you keep quite this will keep on happening and nobody will ever realize what grave mistake they are doing! know that you strong and beautiful and you deserve to be treated with respect and dignity no matter what shape size or color you are! but also be polite when you voice out ! probably they aren't aware what they've been doing to you! big hearts need a the voice of a person like you! you're precious 💗

Before answering others ask yourself what makes you happy. Are you accepting yourself the way you are. If yes, then don’t get bothered by what others say. Embrace your beauty with a plus size only. Don’t listen to what others say.

146Body positivity is an empowering movement advocating for the acceptance of all bodies, regardless of societal or media ideals. This concept is particularly important for women, who often face intense pressure to conform to specific beauty standards. Women's body positivity is about embracing and celebrating the diversity of female bodies in all their different sizes, shapes, colors, and ages. It is about recognizing that all bodies are beautiful and worthy, and rejecting the idea that a woman's value is tied to her appearance. This movement aims to help women cultivate a positive relationship with their bodies, encouraging self-love, self-acceptance, and self-care. It promotes the idea that everyone deserves to feel comfortable and confident in their own skin, and that respect and inclusivity should be the norm. Body positivity inspires women to focus on their capabilities, strengths, and character, rather than their appearance. It sends a powerful message that beauty is not a one-size-fits-all concept, and encourages society to redefine its perception of what it means to be beautiful. In essence, women's body positivity is a celebration of women in their most authentic form, advocating for self-love, acceptance, and a healthier perspective on the female body.more
