Marieke Elsinga shares frustration: “I am strong and fit, not fat!” | Entertainment

entertainment">“I’m going to do something here that I don’t do very often, which is to share my frustration,” Marieke writes on Instagram. She explains that she often gets offers for partnerships from well-known brands and usually declines. However, an application on behalf of a ‘well-known weight loss brand’ is bothering her. From the accompanying mail she concludes: “So it says that I can put some (corona?) Pounds off! The agency really doesn’t mean any harm and I am pretty firm in my shoes, but who are they to determine that for me? ”

entertainment">“My body is strong and fit. I may not be ‘Hilversum slim’ and I think that is exactly where the strength lies. If we keep pretending that every woman should look like in the magazines or on TV, we are really sending the wrong signal. ”

entertainment">Marieke says that with this message she is not asking for confirmation, but that she wants to contribute to a more normal self-image. Something I struggle with myself. ”
