stophatingyourbody:

This is a series of ads from the early 20th century right up to the 1970s.

Notice how these ads were meant to shame thin bodies the way weight loss ads shame fat bodies today, to make people feel bad about the way they look?

These ads are just as bad as the ones that run today. They’re meant to shame you and make you feel inadequate for one sole reason: so you go out and spend money on their products. 

Your body is NOT wrong. You don’t need pills, diets, or supplements to make you happy, attractive, or ‘right’. All bodies are good bodies.

Do not let the media dictate what you think you should be. The media is fickle. It does not care about you. Don’t let yourself care about what it says.

All-Nudist.com  Bravo stophatingyourbody!  Great ads, great message you’re sharing!

We are all born nudists - we have to be taught to be ashamed of our bodies. These adverts are teaching us to be ashamed….
