Who Said You Have To Be Skinny ?

You dont have To be skinny to be pretty; I dont read beauty magazine because they are all sending the wrong message to impressionable girls: namely that only thin equals beautiful, which is far from the case. The industry has set up a few rules that few women dare break as regards body size . One of them says that women should be thin to be deemed beautiful or at least acceptable, which is not true. Sadly, because all magazines emphasize that weight is all it boils down to, girls as young as 12 or 13 grow up with the idea that they need to strive to be as skinny as possible, otherwise no one would even give them the time of day.

Who says that to be pretty you have to be thin? Some people look better thin and some don’t. There is almost a standard being created where only thin is acceptable. The influence of those magazines on girls as young as 13 is horrific,” Not only does beauty come from inside, but it’s also in the eye of the beholder..

Another rule set in stone…. is trying to be younger than one’s age – Im opposed to it as well. “I never want to lie about my age,my body measurement , no make up on my pics who cares just embraced it – … It’s a good thing to be old, because that means you haven’t died yet right? And when I do get older, I want to have the grace to be proud of it, not to lie about it or try to fight it. The people who love me, love me for who I am. They love me for a mixture of things that makes anyone love another person, and those things will still be there when I am 40, 60 or 80 * Ya I said it
