Lena Dunham Delivered Some Hard Truths About Body Image Issues During The Pandemic​

"Why do I still feel like weight loss is an item for my to-do?"​

Posted 1 hour ago

The COVID-19 pandemic has been hard on everyone, including Lena Dunham — who recently disclosed her own experience after contracting the illness earlier this year.​

"I’ve been thinking a lot about my pot belly in quarantine," she wrote, "especially as I notice an unusual amount of articles with titles like 'How I lost the weight' and 'Diet is everything.'"​

"Somehow, headlines that used to roll off my flesh rolls sting in a new way — not because I think that’s the body I’m meant to have, but because it feels like it’s adding yet another item to the epic to-do list we are all creating for ourselves in Covid."​

"But for most people pandemic life has not proven to be a break from the world or themselves. And so the list grows, the items remain unchecked, and the suggestion of a revamped clean eating plan in my newsfeed somehow feels like a personal assault."​

"Growing up chubby, fat, thicc, whatever you wanna call it — I always felt my body was a sign that read 'I’m lazy and I have done less.' Like if I just found the will to invest 30% more I could be okay."​

"Over the years, as my body guided me through my career and illness and disability, I started to appreciate what it was capable of. But somehow, this pandemic time has brought back some of those old feelings of self-loathing and I think it all comes back to that damned to-do list, the one that started when we went into lockdown."​

"Should I be revamping my fridge with veggies and showing off before/after pics, emerging from quarantine with a revenge body? And why, after all these years spent fostering self love, do I still feel like weight loss is an item for my to-do?"​

Dunham concluded by asking her followers to share their own experiences on "What has this period brought up for you as you’ve sat with the body you were given, no matter where self isolation has taken it?"​

The comments are worth reading — and Dunham's experience is certainly relatable, as it's important to remember that we could all stand to go a little easier on ourselves during this tough time.​

 
If your life is so stable, especially this year, that you're resorted to literal navel gazing and pondering the size of your own fat ass, you need to shut the fuck up and get some perspective. At least read a fucking book, take up cross stitch, I don't fucking know, but it's hard to think of anything less productive than trying to justify being fat on social media when nobody fucking asked. There are people who would kill to have the visibility, platform and means as she does and this is what she does with it. Unbelievable.
 
I don't want it in my neighborhood where I might have to look at this

and I certainly have no interest in reading the crap it "writes"

What's wrong with the people who think this way?
Like, I've seen me and a bunch of other lads do pretty much nothing but pump iron and get our nutrition on point all Quarantine basically because it's either that or deep depression, and might as well use the mandatory free time to try and look like Zyzz.
And not to sound like too much of a MGTOW, but I have seen a shockingly high amount of women get into fitness and getting a better body for 'revenge'. That's the exact wrong way of going about it.
Also, Lena Dunham molested her sister.

These people think that any self-improvement is bad, and their argument is usually something along the lines of "people should accept you as you are."

In reality, it's classic crab-in-the-bucket people that hate to see anyone better themselves because they are too lazy to do so.
 
The only thing Lena Dunham delivers is a headache to anyone who actually listens to the BS she spews from her vagina of a mouth.
That is an insult to both mouths and vaginas.
Why is she even famous? Who gives a shit about her? She's like Kotaku incarnate. She can't even be called a lolcow; she's a hatecow. There's nothing remotely likeable about her.
The NYC art-scene jetsetters, the Andy Warhol types, have a thing for pampered rich pretentious douchebags. Her whole career is that she bought her way into it with her family's money, made the right connections, and now gets to have her shit smeared everywhere as a "powerful message".

Wait, is she the one whose dad or something made "paintings" out of menstrual blood or some Islamic Content like that?
