Body Image Sucks
We live in a time where the people we consider hot and sexy
are the likes of Anne Curtis, catwalks dominated by stick thin figures, billboards
full of young actors/athletes in their underwear, and TV commercials of weight
loss products.

| Seriously, woman? Where do you put all the carbs you eat. |
 |
| I can smoke that sexily, too. Wait-- |
 |
| See those arms, legs, back fat, and tummy bulge? |
Everyday we are constantly reminded that we need to lose
that extra couple of pounds. It gets the better of me.
 |
| See that fat? I need to get rid of it! |
I've never been obese or overweight. I gain a few
unnecessary pounds when I’m stressed and yet I still mull over such matters. I’m
at the age where people expect me to be emotionally and mentally stable and I
believe I am. But sometimes I only need one small trigger and I go
over-analyzing again. I’m not in my early twenties anymore and metabolism has
slowed down. I can’t eat a whole bag of Lays without repercussions. I can’t
drink 5 bottles of light beer and not worry because it’s “light” anyway. I’m
ageing and it shows.
I should shut up now because I don’t really know where this
is going. I just feel like crap. Also, goddamn you, hormones.

It sucks nga. Oh Marilyn Monroe would be considered plus size now, if I'm not mistaken. Sometimes I wish I was born in the era where full bodied women are sexy. :D
ReplyDeleteI was watching Gilmore Girls over the weekend and realized that even during that time, actresses were not that thin!
