When we think of healthy body image, we often imagine our bellies shrinking along with our butts. However, would anyone ask Christina Hendricks to try and lose weight? That woman looks fantastic! She is the epitome of what a healthy body looks like. I am in no way downing the fat or the skinny, what I want to stress is the happy medium that is your body type. We can all thank magazines for displaying the only thing that is accepted in Hollywood. NOT! Perhaps you did not realize this but, you do not belong to Hollywood and if you did, I would hope you took a stand like Christina Hendricks!
With a better way of saying this, fresh out of Biology, my sagacious Professor could not stress enough how we are all built differently. Have you ever heard of such a thing? What he meant was that some will be short, some will be tall, some will be thicker, some will twiggier, and guess what, there is nothing you can do to change that! To quote my favorite Lady of Pop, “You were born this way.” Hehehe you know when you ought to work on you vs. I am doing this to look like said celebrity…..if you are worried about your body it better be for health purposes. Not image. Along with good health comes a confident human being. The point I am trying to make is be your biggest fan and do things for the right purpose.
P.S. What brought this to mind…..today my neighbor commented on my beagle’s weight. All I said was, this is how she was born, which is entirely true! I am walking her because that is what you do for dogs. Anyway.
