Size, height, and age are not considerations in true love. Unfortunately, we frequently prioritise labels and outward appearances while ignoring the value of actual interactions with others. But couples like Alicia and Scott help us remember that true love and happiness come from the inside out and help us learn to stop judging people by their outward appearance.

Alicia McCarvell has been well-liked on social media thanks to her promotion of body positivity and hilarious material. Although she has millions of fans who adore her and follow her trips, she also gets negative feedback and harsh remarks about her marriage.

After a video, she posted went popular, but for the wrong reasons, Alicia made the decision to speak out. She and Scott followed a fashion trend in the video by first appearing in towels and then wearing clothes.

Strangers expressed disbelief that Scott, who is fit, could be dating a plus-size lady like Alicia, and the response was overwhelmingly negative. The remarks were insulting and revealed a lack of knowledge regarding relationships and love.

She faces many assumptions daily

Alicia, a Canadian content creator, talked about the stereotypes she encounters on a regular basis: “‘Oh, she was probably not overweight when they met,’ or she must be rich,’ ‘he must be gay,’ or ‘he has a passion for obese women.'” We’ve been made to believe that a physically fit man like Scott could never, ever fall in love with or get along with a fat lady.

Although Alicia and Scott’s wonderful union is not well recognised, it is proof of the strength of real love. The couple has been together for 16 years after falling in love during their time in high school. Despite many obstacles, they have always been polite and supportive of one another.

Alicia says Scott was her biggest support through difficult times

Alicia revealed that Scott was the person who gave her consistent support and encouragement to help her discover her way and achieve her aspirations during a trying moment in her life when she lost her job. As a result, they made amusing couple videos, which show off the continual laughing and joy in their lives. Scott wanted to share his unending love for Alicia with everyone and show them what a charming person she is.

For Alicia, becoming a content creator was a life-changing experience that helped her amass millions of followers. She has learned valuable lessons about self-esteem from her encounters with others. Alicia said that, despite her present success on social media, she had battled self-doubt. She revealed that, for a long time, she felt unworthy of Scott’s love: “I figured if I didn’t like myself, how could he?”

Alicia is aware of how her fears and low self-esteem affected her marriage. But as she progressed in her quest for self-acceptance, she realised that Scott saw her differently from how she saw herself. She counsels individuals to avoid assuming things about their relationships and to keep in mind that they might see them differently than they do.

Alicia understood that although her husband has always loved her, her viewpoint has changed, enabling him to love her the way he has always wanted.

She urges the breakdown of beauty standards

This newfound insight inspired Alicia to disseminate awareness about the negative impacts of unattainable beauty standards and to emphasise the importance of recognising a person’s true worth and value in order to respond to the criticism and hate they encounter online. When others see us, they automatically place Scott’s value higher than mine, the influencer said.

Alicia revealed that her husband had had messages from thin, physically appealing ladies telling him that he should date someone like them. “This slim woman telling him she is worthy of him owing to her physique is the same as me telling myself for the majority of our relationship that I am not worthy of his affection due to my body,” said Alicia.

Alicia advises people to focus on their inner traits rather than merely their outside looks in order to genuinely understand who they are. She admits that society gives some beauty standards an excessive amount of weight because they have been entrenched in us for a long time. She is adamant, however, that this can be changed and that everyone must confront and eliminate their biases.

Have you ever received criticism for choices you made or for how you looked? How did you deal with that situation?
