This time around, pictures of women – like me – in their pastel gym clothes, bikinis and fitted dresses came up. Until one day, after years of agreeing with the internal voice telling me I looked "weird" and "boxy" in skinny jeans, I tried another Google search term: 'women with hip dips'. People were searching for how to surgically correct this part of my figure that I'd only just noticed (after twenty-odd years on the planet)? I immediately added hip dips to my mental list of 'things to hate about myself' and began shifting my weight onto one hip when posing in pictures to "round myself out". A quick Google search soon pulled up a tonne of articles about 'how to get rid of hip dips' or 'surgery for hip dips' which only added to my spiralling self-consciousness. A bit like a violin shape, if you will.Īfter that, I became fixated on my "abnormal" hips, comparing them to all the perfect Kardashian-esque figure-of-eight bodies dominating my Instagram feed. I have, because a few years ago while scrutinising myself in a gym changing room mirror (while wearing very snug leggings), I realised that rather than curving all the way round like Beyoncé's, my hips sort of came in a little in the middle. Hip dips – maybe you've heard this terms before, maybe you haven't.
