Women And Being Body Shamed, by Chinyere Obi-Obasi

You see when you fell in love with your wife was it her outward appearance or her inner beauty?

 

I know a woman on the verge of divorcing her husband because his favourite line for her was she was ‘morbidly obessed.’ it did not matter that she has children for him or had done for him what many women will never do for their husbands.

 

When you were marrying her, did you tell her that you are marrying her because she was slim or delectable or did you tell her like my husband did that it was because she was smart, compassionate, intelligent and will help groom your children well.

 

Did you not see the fat tendencies? Except for a few people who were skinny and became fat later, people like me were Always on the plumb side. I recall my mother in law telling my husband I had tendency to be fat …. I guess not so he should not marry me but for him to know and not make a case for it in future.

 

When women gather even in the house of God, it is to harass them to look nice for one man… the body shaming starts right in the place it shouldn’t start; the house of God.

 

When two women meet in church, you don’t hear one asking the others, my sweet sister how is your prayer life? Let us talk about the virtues. Which of them are you struggling with?

 

Instead it is, you are slim, what diet are you on now? How to seduce a husband.

 

Let me ask ; the men do they have people breathing down their necks to be slender for their wives?

 

In heaven you think Jesus will be bothered with how you maintained your figure. No. He will want to know how many souls you won and how your life influenced the kingdom.

 

Some fat is hereditary and some will not go after child birth.

 

There are worse things to be than fat. A man married to a fat but kind Godly woman and is busy looking for slim woman is foolish. Supposing the slim woman went along with wickedness in her heart and is lazy or uninspiring etc.

 

A WOMAN SHOULD LOSE WEIGHT SO SHE CAN BE HEALTHY.

 

If your weight loss is so your husband will not leave you, research had shown that the men with the most delectable wives are the greatest womanisers.

 

Calling your spouse names because she is fat is likely a case of calling a dog a bad name in order to hang it.

 

Love flows from the heart.

 

Once a man hates his wife, he begins to notice ever minor, inconsequential thing about her.

 

One of the greatest causes of inferiority complex is being called names by a loved one. However like I tell women who talk to me about being body shamed, A DEAD DIVA, FULL FIGURE 8 WHO FED ON ONLY WATER AND VEGETABLES WILL GIVE ANYTHING TO COME BACK AS A FAT WOMAN.

 

You must love yourself. My Bishop’s wife Huldah Erumaka said if you are fatter than her you are too fat if you are slimmer than her, you are too slim, same with height etc lol.

 

I love myself so much. I am blessed with super health and till I lose weight, I am the most confident person in the world.

 

God gave me a kind heart, excellent spirit. I am intelligent and full of wisdom, gifts from God and I love God. I am focused with amazing, amazing children. Therefore every other thing is secondary.

 

For that woman whose husband is body shaming, maybe it is time to let him try other specs.

 

There is the Igbo proverb that when a man married two wives he will come to find out which one is better.

 

Some people are so foolish; majoring on the minor.

 

IF THE ONLY REASON YOU MARRIED YOUR WIFE WAS BECAUSE SHE WAS SLIM AND YOU TOLD HER THEN IT IS HER FAULT FOR ACCEPTING THE CONDITION THAT SHE WILL NOT ADD WEIGHT.

 

IF HOWEVER YOU PRETENDED YOU WERE MARRYING HER BECAUSE SHE WAS THIS AND THAT AND NOW MAKING HER LIFE A LIVING HELL BECAUSE SHE IS FAT IN YOUR EYES, you are a mean man because many would have accepted and loved her…. Fat as she is to the very end BUT YOU BLOCKED THEM

 

MADAM CHINYERE ARE YOU THE ONE THAT WROTE THIS THIS BEGINNING OF THE WEEK?

 

Yes it is me. Body shaming by the very man that should protect you is a big no no and should not be tolerated by any woman under any guise!

 

#nobismallsomething

Remember fat or slim, rich or poor, don’t let any body rubbish you and make you lose your smile! THE BIBLE SAID YOU ARE MADE IN GOD’S IMAGE!
