The mainstream is always telling women what we should and shouldn't strive to be. Too fat, you're ugly and eat donuts all day. Too skinny, you're anorexic or on drugs. You shouldn't wear that, instead you should wear this. Your hair needs to be longer, shorter, blonder. Well you wanna know something? It's all garbage. Forget every word of it.
As I said in a previous post, I am working to lose weight for health reasons. However, I do not think weight or body type has anything to do with beauty. You can be a size 0 or a size 30 and still be gorgeous. True beauty has no weight limit. I know some GORGEOUS women who are plus sized, and some ugly ones who are tiny. True beauty has to do with not only what's on the outside, but what's inside too. Somebody can look like a playboy bunny on the outside, but if they're ugly on the inside I don't know about the rest of you but I don't find them attractive. Inner ugliness detracts from outer beauty. Not to mention, every person has a different idea of what is beautiful. Some men are attracted to primarily big women, some primarily small women, and the same concept goes for everyone. Some people like dark hair, or blue eyes, or tall girls, or short girls, you get the point. Everyone is not going to find the exact same thing attractive, and that's part of what makes us unique.
The most important thing to remember no matter what your size is that CONFIDENCE MATTERS! Be happy with who you are. It's ok to want to better yourself, but do it for you not for anybody else. Who cares what Cosmo says, or some guy, or the bitchy girl at work? What matters is what you think of yourself. If you're confident in who you are, it shows. People notice it. People are drawn to confidence, nobody wants to be around a Debbie Downer who puts herself down all the time. Jesus Christ had haters, do you really think any of the rest of us are exempt? No matter how big or small you are or what you look like, somebody isn't gonna like it. You have to love yourself regardless, you shouldn't rely on other people in order to feel good about yourself. Confidence and self-respect are beautiful! You can weigh 90lbs or 400 and if you're confident in who you are and what you look like, you're fabulous. I just wish more women would stop trying to change themselves to please other people, when really the only person you should be trying to please is YOU! You're all beautiful, and don't let anybody tell you differently.
Very well said!! The only time I ever lose weight when I'm trying to is when its for me. The more everyone dwells on what others think the lower your selfesteem is. I know I need to work on my weight for health reasons as well as just simply wanting to feel good again. But like you said beauty is not only from the outside but the inside as well!!
ReplyDeleteLOLOLOL. I love how you post this to your blog, but then post something like this "I like it when you look at somebody's fb and you think "aww she's cute" then when you actually look through her pics and see the ones she was tagged in that aren't photoshopped or staged, you realize she's at least 50 lbs bigger than you thought she was and definitely not that cute. Lmfao. Ahhh Facebook." on one of your pages. Do you not THINK before you post, or do you honestly think it's okay to blast some people for being fat as long as YOU don't like them? I can't wait to see what else you have to throw at us with this blog Lizz, cause NO ONE cares about what you have to say as much as you do.
ReplyDeleteJust because you dont care,.doesnt mean nobody else does. Dont like it, dont read it. Not a hard concept, smart one. And I was referring to people who over edit their pictures, I never called anyone fat. Keep your immature drama bullshit on facebook, kid.
DeleteWell clearly you care or else you wouldn't have read her blog and commented:)
DeleteI completely agree I'm dieting because I don't like the way I look my fiance is begging me to only lose a few pounds if I have to lose weight and when I tell him how much I want to lose he's like please don't I like girls with meat on their bones and its great for him to say that but I've tried explaining to him I personally liked being a size 7 and that's were I want to be again .... I have to do what makes me happy I am not comfortable in my own skin at this size .... I felt amazeing as a size 7 .
