Just A Number?!?

Age. Weight. The two topics that are taboo when it comes to a woman. But really, whats in a number? I have recently viewed a 72 year old woman who is in better shape than a lot of 20 and 30 year olds. I won't delve into the topic of age but weight, I have to tackle. This 72 year old woman does not look as good as she does by accident. She worked extremely hard her entire life. I know you're asking 'You mean I can't become a fabulously fit sensation over night'? Simple answer, no. It's a process that requires hard work, determination, persistence and yes a tiny bit of self deprivation.

To many women the number on the scale dictates life. My opinion is that every woman has the right to feel beautiful and we should learn to love and accept ourselves however we look, but not at the expense of our health. I understand that it is hard to watch that almost inevitable change of shape and pull of gravity occur right before your eyes. But if you are taking the necessary steps (regular physical activity, proper nutrition) to prevent unwanted weight gain you should embrace the beauty that is you!

Why is it that those little imperfections about ourselves become such catastrophic events. There is a small part of our society that exists that tells us what makes us beautiful. This society projects images onto us all throughout the years, months, weeks and days until we are consumed by them enough to believe that we are all supposed to be this figment of "perfection". These people should be arrested because they are the real identity thieves. Robbing people of a uniqueness that far outreaches the typical monotony that life becomes. Personally I love the curves given to me!

Question 1:
Answer this honestly. Who are you comparing yourself to? I guarantee that what makes them beautiful is not what makes you beautiful!

Question 2:
What part of your body do you dislike? I guarantee someone somewhere only wishes they had body parts as good looking as yours.

Fact 1:
I do not have an hour glass figure and at the age of 30 I have finally come to terms with this point. However sexy I think that shape is it is not mine.

Fact 2:
My shape is my shape and I have great Arms! And some people with the hour glass figure can't say that, so there!

Homework: What is your fact 1 and 2?

As always
God Bless and
See you next Sunday
