Description
“Body Image” Part 1 Whitney Washington, from around the age of three, when she began walking; moving about independently on her feet, was constantly ridiculed about the way in which she stood, sat and ate. Most of the time, this unkind and harsh treatment was dished out by her own biological mother, who was filled with disdain for anyone, especially female, who were on the chubbier side, so to speak, or had a certain amount of weight on their bodies. Seeing that her daughter, Whitney, looked nothing like the rest of other children in the family; those who were born before her or after here, her mother, Caroline Washington would always demand that she stood up straight, tuck in her belly or sit; holding an upright posture. Because of the unkind ways in which Whitney’s mother had treated her throughout the years, the rest of her siblings joined in, believing it was okay for them to mistreat her as well. Even though, she was growing, her family members would continuously tell her, she ate too much, she had too much food on her plate or criticized how overweight she was, or the amount of pounds she had gained for her age. Sometimes, these kinds of negative criticisms were in the form of mockery, bullying, name calling and the snatching away of food from her plate; causing her to separate herself from the rest of the family most of the time and lack herself inside her bedroom. This brutal and mean spirited treatment continued from Whitney’s years has being a toddler all the way through to her high school years. At the age of around thirteen going on to fourteen, she began to feel desperately alone, even though, she was in a big family of five other siblings with a mother and a father as well. Severely, wanting to fit it – to be accepted in her own family, especially, wanting to have a relationship with her mother, Whitney began starving herself; barely putting on her dinner plate, what she desire to devour during meal time. Three months after starving herself, it was obvious to everyone at school and in her household that the pounds were dropping from her body like hail from heaven. And now, her mother began seeing her as her beautiful daughter, and she also began gaining many friends at school as well. However, her thin physique, even though, made her popular now, was very unhealthy for her, causing her to the past out – fainting in the middle of the school grounds during one of her lunch breaks. Arriving at the hospital, the doctors told her they would have
