{normalizing bodies} double chins
A woman in one of the plus-size groups on Facebook made a really good point the other day: We rarely see women with double chins represented in images. Many, many women have double chins. It’s a completely normal thing. But we hide them in photos. We stretch out our necks, raise our chins, tilt our faces so no one can see our chins.
Well, that’s crappy. No part of your body is shameful, and if you have an abundance of chins, your face and neck are still just as valuable as anyone else’s. Let’s get used to seeing this completely natural and normal characteristic.
Here’s a mother lode of women with double chins who refuse to let it be a shameful part of their bodies or stop them from going about their days being badass:
