I’m not going to lie and say I think I have the best body since Britney Spears in the “I’m A Slave 4 U” video. And I’m not going to say that I’m particularly skinny. I’m not going to say that I haven’t thought about wanting to be thinner than I am, either, because none of those things are true. I’ll be the first to admit to you that there are some things I don’t necessarily like about my body.
When I go out shopping, I’m very careful as to what I buy because I don’t like clothes hugging me in parts of my body that I don’t like. I’m certainly not the first female to think that way, I know that too. Sometimes I go into stores and get disappointed that I needed a bigger size than I thought. Sometimes I think about how one day I want my significant other to be able to carry me on his back through the park or anywhere really. Then I think about, “What if they can’t lift me?”
How terribly sad is that?
I am 5 foot 6. A pretty tall gal, if you ask me. I’m not what you would consider “petite” in height or weight. Last time I checked, my measurements were approximately 34” (bust area), 28” (waist), 39” (hips). If you pay attention to what I post at all, I’m sure you’ve seen a photo of me somewhere along the line. I got curves, okay? I eat pretty well and I do my best to exercise as much as possible, but if I want a piece of cake, I’m gonna eat some cake.
That’s okay.
Women (and men alike!) spend so much time trying to count calories and watch everything they put into their bodies because they want to be a certain size. I am so over that. I’m gonna eat what I want to, and I’ll exercise the necessary amount to keep ME feeling alright physically. I’m not about to over work myself because I’m stressing about eating too many calories in a day. I’m going to take care of ME and no one is going to tell me how to do it. I know some very curvy women and their confidence will blow you out of the water. Beautiful ladies, I’ll tell you that much.
The bottom line is that no matter what someone tells you, it’s all about how you see yourself and about how YOU feel about the way you are. Women are feminine and obviously made to have curves. Hello, we were made to have children pass through our pelvic area, there’s gotta be some room for that. And how thin do you REALLY have to be before these people just let it be?
Curves are sexy. Embrace ‘em if you got ‘em. It makes you woman.
