What especially bums me out about this is I saw an interview with her where she said she had struggled with an eating disorder specifically due to pics where she thought she had a tummy. Very cruel to shove that back in her face no matter who she is.
I think heroin-chic levels of skinny might be coming back, seems like lately I see it a lot online. I was hoping with the Y2k/90's/low rise trends returning, that part wouldn't return and we were finally done with body types being trends. But it's looking that way.
Every time women make any gains or get any power, extreme thinness comes into vogue. Gotta keep 'em starving so they don't have any energy to make change.
The clothes from that time kinda demand that figure. I love the style, but it was only a matter of time that when we chose to show bellies again and have such a fitness/ self-improvement culture. Such a pity. I still think we have a more diverse view on body types nowadays, but when I read this post my hope died a little :/
I've been seeing a lot of medium/chubby/fat girls showing their bellies and I'm so here for it. We couldn't do that in the 90s without being roasted to death.
If skinny is one the rise again, I hope it's more of a two steps forward, one step back kinda thing. Progress is slow
Its the filters that make anyone appear skinnier than they are, so the beauty standard isn't even a real body, even on small pages like unpopular instagram posters.
Done with body types being trends? My friend, that has always occurred as long as there is human civilization, and it will probably continue until civilization becomes unrecognizable to the modern person.
For sure it has, it's just pretty common knowledge now that with social media and especially since tiktok as well as fast fashion, fashion trends cycle so insanely rapidly that the whole trend cycling thing functions a lot different than it ever has in the past before. Days instead of weeks on micro trends, and months instead of years on others. Most people don't bother keeping up with that anymore and just wear the look they like. So, wishful thinking I guess with body types following suit.
Your normal doctor is probably where I would start. A physical therapist is who would work with you on it. You possibly could start with a physical therapist too.
But her tummy is completely flat. The only reason it's even bowing like that is her posture, that's it. Her hips are tilted. Maybe she's standing that way or maybe she has issues with a pelvic tilt, either way you can't starve your way out of standing wonky.
also, even the thinnest women have tummies. female bodies fluctuate so much throughout the month, its different for everyone on how long and when, but typically before/on your period there's a week out of the month where you're super bloated and no amount of starving will solve it.
it doesn't work, you may as well eat some yummy food. after your period you'll go back to your normal amount of bloat 💅 please take care of yourself
You're 100% right that she is not "fat." I believe this tummy shape is due to weak abdominal muscles and specifically a weak pelvic floor. There are women with a higher body fat percentage than Taylor, who have strong cores and strong pelvic muscles, yet appear more physically flattering than her.
If that's fay, I'm a planet. Heck, if that's fat, most people are morbidly obese. I think this commenter needs to get out of Mommy's basement once in a while, go touch some grass, and see what real people look like.
