For many years, in the fashion industry, there has been a focus on the fact that it's not as bad as before to be sickly thin models that present the new collections. This of course because it gives an unrealistic picture of the norm for especially young girls who think it's usually to be very thin.

Unfortunately, this also has a number of consequences, such as young people having anorexia and other eating disorders, but also various forms of social anxiety that can take shape in a variety of ways. Eg. because young girls do not want to change clothes in changing rooms with others or do not want to go to the beach in swimwear.

It is normal and there are solutions

If you are one of the many who feel too fat or suffering from eating disorders or so, then there is plenty of help to get. Eg. is the national association for eating disorders and self-harm the place if it takes place in food habits etc.

But are you just a little bigger than the average and you do not think it's to find shops with swimwear plus size, for example. Find really nice swimwear for big women online so you do not have to ask in a store or be seen by friends and acquaintances in the situation.

If you are either too thin due to eating disorders or slightly larger than you want, then it's not something you have to let your everyday life affect. There is plenty like you and it is almost more abnormal to be normal to today's standards.

So of course, it should be recognized and resolved if there is a problem, but probably you are asking too much for yourself and you should instead accept that, despite improvements, the fashion industry still has an unrealistic picture of the norm and be happy who you are and what you have and do not limit yourself to it.

Good summer!
