How's it going??? Enjoying the book, I hope. Let's keep on reading and loving ourselves in the process.
" Self love is not so vile a sin as self neglecting " ~ William Shakespeare
~~~~~~~~~~~
" oh my god you are skinny, eat more "
" cut down on your food intake, please "
" Are you eating at all??"
" You need to work out, you are so fat "
Does this statement and questions ring a bell??? I'm sure they do. It's one of the things society is good at.
Criticizing a person for their body.
I don't know who went around, spreading the news that having a slim body makes you the top of the chain. Or that, it makes you more desirable. Because of this, a lot of young girls are being deceived to get surgeries.
In Nigeria, it's the exact opposite. Girls are being tossed like balls, because they are skinny or slim and this girls desperately want to avoid the talks and they want to be 'desired ' so they go ahead and ruin their future by getting BBL ( Brazilian butt lift ) and Liposuction which by the way, is life threatening and dangerous. Just recently, a young girl lost her life in the process. (How sad! )
The question is why??? Why did she end her life shortly all because of a fake ass body??
Let me answer that.
Society has messed with the minds of young girls and nowadays it is easy to influence them. These people advertise themselves going through this life threatening surgeries and when it's over, you hear them say " I feel so confident, I am so glad I did it "Â ð. Girls begin to feel that this surgeries are the only way they can be at the top of the chain, sorting out ways to make their 'dream ' body a reality.
There are characteristics that determine body shapes and they are; GENES, AGE, LIFESTYLE, FAT DISTRIBUTION etc. That being said, The first thing you need to know is that every person is born with a unique body type. Each one being beautiful in its own way.
Don't forget that God created all of us and you CHANGING your body implies that you are not happen with the way God created you. Which is a huge sign of ungratefulness.
YOUR BODY IS YOURS. AND IF YOU TAKE CARE OF IT, YOU WILL BEGIN TO LOVE IT.
AND Honestly speaking, your body is simply the outward package of the real deal: YOUR SOUL. Why change your body when you know your soul is NOTHING TO SPEAK OF.ð
A major reason why people undergo all this body enhancement surgeries is because they don't feel confident in their dressing and that is a must for them. Well, if you feel you want to be ' confident ' with your dressing.
HERE are few tips -:
1. Start by loving your body, it's yours whether you like it or not.
2. Eating Healthy and Working out in the gym is a good way of getting that BODY you want and it is also a great way of keeping fit. ( Only go to the gym, because you want to not because of the voices of the haters are tormenting you )
3. Dressing according to your body shape is very advisable. Look up the various body shapes, find yours and try to follow it and add your style as well. Remember it's all about YOU not THEM.
A Quick note: There is a big difference between healthy and unhealthy.
Plus -size
Healthy -: If you know it's something hereditary and you know you are healthy. it does not matter what people think. Love your body, it's BEAUTIFUL.
Unhealthy -: Obesity is a serious deal and it's a serious magnet for diseases. It CAN LEAD TO DEATH. Cut down on the sweets and sugar, try and exercise. Keep fit. Do it for YOU.
Slim & Thin
Healthy -: As long as you know you aren't skipping your meals and you are eating healthy. LET IT GO. LOVE YOUR BODY.
Unhealthy -: When you begin to starve yourself and indulge in taking slimming pills because you don't want to LOSE IT. Stop with the slimming pills, they are not SAFE. IF IT DOESN'T AFFECT YOU NOW IT WILL LATER.
AND REMEMBER THIS:
Every body is beautiful. Do you hear me, you reading this, your body is BEAUTIFUL. There is no such thing as a 'perfect ' body shape. Don't let those people deceive you, sooner or later they will see the light.
All that matters is your -:
HEALTH & HAPPINESS.
