Alright, let's talk about it:
In case you hadn't noticed, I'm not nor have I ever been skinny. And, what's more, I don't wish to be.
I like the way I look in a swimsuit and the way my clothes fit. Now I'd be lying if I said I didn't wish my abs were flatter or that my arms were tighter, but the things I want to change about my body are strength and fitness related, it's not about size!
Sure, I-like many of my curvy comrades-have experienced a twinge of self doubt while flooded with this media image of beauty. And of course, the fact that so many of my beautiful friends do happen to have smaller waistlines and thinner thighs doesn't help. But I've learned that comparing yourself is only going to damage your own self esteem. I have beautiful friends. & I am beautiful too.
Why is it considered vain to say that? I think every girls everywhere should say it to themselves every morning. It'd raise self esteem, improve relationships and ultimately improve the world. It's the little things, ladies!
Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes.
Look at Marilyn Monroe! She's beautiful, curvy and the penultimate icon of seduction. Not that my goal is marrying Arthur Miller only to die a mysterious death and yet have my image live on to seduce the entire world, but you know what I mean.
So go on! Go look at yourself in the mirror and say it out loud. You are beautiful!
peace, love and beauty
