Comparison Madness.
I have to get on my soapbox about this picture. I understand that the idea behind it is to promote body acceptance and say that curvy is sexy. I whole heartedly agree. But why do we have to put down people with naturally skinny body types in order to life those with curvier bodies up? I posted a rant about this on Facebook and as my friend Feo said (thank you Feo!): "Hot is hot, pounds are just a number." Numbers are just that: NUMBERS. They only have as much power over you as you give them. I haven't weighed myself in YEARS. When I go to the doctor's office, I get on the scale backwards. Why? Because I don't want to give those numbers power. I'm not perfect, and I know that if I see the numbers and I'm having a bad day I might turn inwards and beat myself up for it. So I remove that possibility by not even knowing. I ask myself if I'm being healthy, if I'm exercising a healthy amount, if I feel good in my skin, and THAT is my scale. Try it!
