Just ignore them--Health
Illustration

When someone is blindly losing weight for beauty, give them healthy ways to lose weight and tell them that health is the most important thing. I think the human body is like a machine. Fat is like the oil that the gears in a machine need to turn. If there is no oil, the gear will stop running and the machine will be damaged.
““__Just ignore them___” illustrates the spirit of resistance and confidence we can have when facing contemporary anxieties about physical appearances.”
