I Create Fun And Colorful Illustrations To Laugh At Problems Women Often Over-Think (20 Pics)
Girls! Let's laugh together at our terrible body image issues, fears, and overthinking problems. "Too fat, too thin, too round, too flat, too much pizza, not enough yoga," we are all perfect and beautiful and let's try to leave it at that!
My name is Rachel Lev and I am a French artist and illustrator. I create colorful and funny drawings in order to describe some of my everyday life. My work is focused on the before-mentioned low self-esteem issues and devastating body image that many girls are facing nowadays. Inspired by the everyday problems of young women, these cartoon drawings depict the self-destructive side of our mind, but with humor, colors, softness, and irony. The more twisted our mind is, the funnier the drawing ideas are!
So, drama queens, don't hesitate and share with me your worst girl problems - we will create great jokes about them and turn them into funny situations! To me, body positivity is a mantra - my work encourages self-love and strong women empowerment. We should all laugh at our mundane problems, whether they're big or small because we all have the same ones. So, let's support each other and always try to find a silver lining.

this happens all the time - best ideas comes when it's time to sleep
I feel old now that I choose vegetables over meat during meals.. But pizza?! Ughh , age doesn't matter.
Uhm, well....you do realize that this is not only happening to women? That us men feel the same, disgusting obese monster that some of us are or have become. It is just as damaging to both genders. (just saying, I am sure that this is just drawn from her perspective instead of excluding males)
The more I tried to sleep the more it is that my brain keeps opening closed boxes of forgotten memories and dreams.
Before my period is like I have eaten a whole pie of sensitive emotions.
Yeah, sometimes I wonder if they think i'm blind? Like, NO this DOESN'T look good on me, please stop lying and just tell me what I can already see for myself..

My mother has issues with weight, and it's hard to stifle the impulse to say anything to make her feel better... even lie- As I've grown up I've learned there are better alternatives and a way to deliver honesty more gently, being helpful without lying. But I understand the impulse. This is not an easy skill to obtain, and the path to it goes through many hurt feelings.
Here's how it should really be done: (and nothing anywhere close to this was ANYWHERE in our training videos!) Hm, I appreciate your choice of color and texture, however I think we can do better for the shape and construction. If you like the color and sparkles let me go get you something else. I'll be right back. Did any of my experienced bosses hand me this information, or the delicate way of delivering said info? No, I learned it the hard way, by seeing unhappy women and being naive and well-meaning. And getting yelled at. A lot. Cut salespeople a break. Especially if they seem inexperienced. Don't compare your body in that dress to the salesperson or mannequin, then take it out on people. News flash- it doesn't even look good on the mannequin, they make us put pins on the top to make it look more flattering. It's a practice I always felt was deceptive, and silly me, I could just never remember to do it... If it's shaped like a sack, or skintight like a glove- odds are it's c**p.
You try ONE TIME telling a customer that dress doesn't work on them. See how easy it is... @___@ It's not clearcut and no one will make up their mind, do you want honesty, encouragement? it's all about reading people and sometimes we read it wrong. Either way any excuse to yell at us, right? Maybe you'll get the thing fifty cents cheaper if you crush our souls.
I've never yelled at a sales person - I think they have a bloody horrible job, dealing with annoying people and on their feet all day long. Though if I want an opinion I take someone who knows me - spares us all some trauma.

I understand your thought because so many are similar and used to feel the same but now I see it as something that helps cure my boredom for a minute. If I don't like it, I move on to the next post. People like to share what's going on in their minds and hope others can relate to it or learn from it.

But its not about not promoting healthy food or exercise. Body positivity is about not hating your body and to not bully others because of their bodies. Yes, the majority of us need to be healthier, we need to improve. But lets try to no it without hating ourselves.

All that pizza! Sort of reminds me of the weird eater episode where a guy would only eat pizza. To find out he was celiac and lactose intolerant, which drove his desire to eat it more.
Wow! Bored Panda changed the title to "Too Fat, Too Thin, Too Round...". "Too Thin" is NOT addressed here. Never was. Because it's okay to mock thin people.
And in less than an hour, the title is changed AGAIN.

There really are people who can gorge themselves, never exercise, and still stay thin. Now, they aren't actually fit at all, but society tells them they are. On the other side of the coin are people who have been dieting forever and STILL can't get thin. I'm fat and sometimes find myself out-swimming, out-cycling, and out-lifting much younger thinner people. If you exercise, you'll be fit. Even if you can't lose weight no matter how hard you try.
