I know that I'm really not one to talk about this considering my own low self-esteem, but I think I've come a long way so far. I want make this post so that people can understand that you may have insecurities and you may have low self-esteem, but you change that. You can be strong and confident. It takes a lot of work, but it can be done. You just have to look deep inside yourself and find that inner Goddess, or God if you are guy. I know that a lot of guys have just as much trouble with their self-esteem as women do, they just won't admit it. But there is so much potential in each and every one of us that we neglect to even realize. You have to learn to be comfortable in your own body to start with.
I have always been a big girl, ok, and it wasn't until a few years ago that I came to accept that I will never be skinny. Now I've had a baby and since I've been a stay at home mom I've gained all of that weight back. Yes, I'll admit that I have freaked out a few times about it. But I know that as long as it is not affecting my health that its not a bad thing. My husband still finds me attractive and as long as I stay off of the scale I feel beautiful. Unless I'm on my period, and girls you know what I'm talking about. LOL. But the point is I am now comfortable with my size and no long worry about being skinny, because I know it won't ever happen. I'm still healthy and now I'm happy to. I weigh over 200 lbs and I'm short, and guess what I'm still beautiful.
Now I'm sure some of you say that being short (5'6") and weighing over 200lbs can't be healthy. Well as I will admit that I do have some physical problems, but they have nothing to do with my weight. And I have the ability to still be a wonderful mother to my son, and a loving wife to my husband. There is nothing wrong with being a big person, as long as it doesn't affect your health. Not that there isn't anything wrong with being skinny, again, as long as it doesn't affect your health.
Here's an example of skinniness affecting your health: Last night I was watching Family Guy and it was the episode where Lois pursued her dream of becoming a model. To keep her edge she was taking diet pills and at the end of the episode she and another model were using their ribs as xylophones. That to me could not have been healthy. Now I don't really have anything against skinny people only when they say that you have to be skinny to be sexy. That is where they are wrong! Either type can be sexy-- ITS ALL ABOUT THE ATTITUDE! I'm so tired of seeing all these diet pill commercials that show decent looking women that also look healthy, but they "choose" (or so the commercial says) to take this diet pill and supposedly they loose like 50lbs in 2 weeks or something like that. And they say that it is completely healthy and safe, but honestly how safe can losing that much weight that fast be? But what passes for beauty these daysis honestly very sad.
