We Come In All Shapes And Sizes

While having a conversation with my boyfriend, he brought up an interesting point, men will accept you just as you are, as long as you're confident in yourself. It is moreso women than men who call women fat if they are bigger than a size two. If you look at it, most men, especially those in this community, like women "with a little meat on their bones". The women you see on television and magazines are typically not good representations of women in the real world, women that you see walking down the street each and everyday. A lot of those women are staving themselves and practicing all types of potentially fatal behaviors in order to be thin, in order to be what "society" says is beautiful. You don't have to be a size two in order to be sexy, you don't have to weigh one hundred and ten pounds in order to look glamorous. As long as you are a healthy weight and you're happy with yourself, that's all that matters. Women are beautiful and sexy in all shapes, sizes, colors, races, etc. We need to uplift each other and praise each other's accomplishments. Don't starve yourself to be thin. Don't practice terrible behaviors or take dangerous drugs in order to be accepted. Love who you are and be YOUR ideal you. If God wanted us to all look the same, He would've made us that way.
