Last night I watched "More to Love", as I do every Tuesday eve, but for some reason it bothers me. I have to ask myself why? I have been what is considered plus size (not what I consider plus size, but what America considers plus size) and I have been skinny, really skinny. I feel for the girls on the show that have never been on a date or have never been kissed and for the girls with self esteem so low that they think that when a guy is showing interest it must be a joke. The part I don't get is why some full figured women think it is so much easier to be skinny, so much more fun, guys like you and your body. I think the part that is getting missed is that it is not easy being skinny and that the definition of skinny differs from person to person. Skinny girls might possibly get more dates, but in most cases it is not the girl's personality that was asked on the date.....it's the body. A skinny girl really just wants a man to see her for who she is inside and fall in love with her personality, just as the plus size girl wants.
Whether I am having a plus sized moment or a skinny moment, I always wish I looked more like someone other than me....I think this goes for most women. My ultimate goal in life is not to be skinny or fat, but to be happy....to be able to confidently be in love, to confidently go to the beach in my bikini. I love a bikini and I love it when I go to the beach and not worry about what anyone else thinks or sees (this does happen from time to time).
Bottom line: skinny and fat are words that should be banned and replaced with "perfectly you". Love you, enjoy you.
ps...the pictures below don't have much to do with this post, I simply like them and wanted to share. Please note the woman in the sand drawing.......perfectly perfect.
