Why is it that society has this messed up body image embedded
in our heads of what looks good? Is skinny really that important? Because last
I checked being skinny does not mean being FIT.
Skinny and fit and my
life are an every day struggle. Eating
and exercise is a very common obstacle for me. I am constantly reprimanding
myself for every piece of food I put into my mouth or the food I want to eat. I
criticize myself in front of the mirror on a daily basis. Why do I have to feel
so unhappy with how I look just because the idea of ‘pretty’ is practically
unreachable?
Being skinny could
mean a multitude of things; you don’t eat, you are one of those ‘born this way’
skinny girls that can eat anything and everything their heart desires and
perhaps their speedy metabolism might make them loose a pound, your bulimic-in
other words you stuff your face to the point of overflowing and then puke your
guts up to ease your mind and calorie intake.
Being skinny is not a one-way mirror; there is so much behind that
picture. Now being fit, that is where; in my opinion, the healthy form of
skinny is portrayed.
What is attractive to the site is not attractive to the
touch, why is that? Every magazine shows these pictures of women that are so
unnaturally accomplished and quite frankly, an absurd form of ‘pretty’ or
‘attractive’. Quit looking at those magazines of the girls with their bones
popping out at every angle and start hitting the gym.
Your body needs nutrition and cardio exercise and strength
training. It does not need starvation.
as "pretty" "pretty"
