In a recent video, Kara Corey expresses her outrage and discusses the controversy surrounding Megan Fox and her experience with body dysmorphia. The dietitian and YouTuber highlights the importance of addressing the way people are treated on social media and in society in general.

Body dysmorphia is a mental health disorder where individuals do not see themselves the way others see them. Despite outward appearances, those with body dysmorphia often focus on perceived flaws and work tirelessly to fix them. It is not a condition that one chooses to have.

Megan Fox, in an interview, openly admits to having body dysmorphia and explains that she has never seen herself the way others see her. She mentions having an obsession with her body from a young age, although she is uncertain of its origin. The dietitian speculates that the pressures of the movie industry and the focus on appearance may have contributed to her struggle.

Corey relates to Megan Fox's experience, as she herself has dealt with body dysmorphia. Growing up as a smaller girl, she received praise for her size, which led her to believe that being tiny was the most critical aspect of her identity. She emphasizes that body dysmorphia can affect individuals regardless of their physical appearance.

The dietitian also addresses the misconception that someone with body dysmorphia would avoid showing their body in public. She highlights that individuals with the condition may still choose to show off their bodies, as body dysmorphia affects how they perceive themselves, not how they present themselves to others.

She criticizes the negative comments and judgments made towards Megan Fox in the post's comment section. She calls out the damaging assumption that someone who looks “perfect” cannot struggle with body dysmorphia. She reminds viewers that anyone can experience body image issues, regardless of their size or status.

The dietitian concludes by urging people to be more empathetic and understanding. She emphasizes that one should not judge others based on external appearances and highlights the importance of treating mental health issues with compassion. She encourages readers to reflect on their own motivations when making negative comments online and to be mindful of projecting their own insecurities onto others.

In a world where social media often perpetuates unrealistic beauty standards, it is essential to have open discussions about body dysmorphia and support individuals who are struggling with their body image.
