Skinny fishing

When people try to imitate skinny people. Just like cat fishing and black fishing, people try to be perceived a certain way that's different from who they really are.
It's problematic because it reflects shame about being a non-skinny bodytype and reinforces a standard of one rare bodytype.

It's okay to be skinny. But if you are not, that's fine aswell. Be yourself. Thrive. Love yourself.

1. When girls take leg pictures with their hip pushed slightly backwards, in order to have a thigh gap which they usually don't have, that's skinny fishing.
2. Lying on the beach and sucking in your tummy to a point where it gets ridiculously obvious. Nobody is gonna believe you are normally like this, sticking out ribs with a hollow tummy and a blue face yet your bum and legs look perfectly normal. Just breathe, okay?
3. Stretching your pictures for social media or even editing your limbs and waist tiny makes you guilty of skinny fishing. Just be yourself and stop promoting unrealistic ideals. Else you are part of the problem.
