Hands down. I don’t count my calories. I don’t diet. I don’t have a super high self-esteem. I don’t have a flat stomach. I am too thin. I am too fat. What the hell does fit even look like?
I do have a double chin. I do have stretch marks. I do work out. I do try to get fit. I do control the junk food. I do drink water.
I want a flat stomach. I want to be called beautiful. I want to diet. I want to be perfect. I want to look hot when I am naked. Pokes my muffin top and clumps it.
Why don’t I look like a Victoria Secret Model? Why can’t I get a toned body? Why can’t I wear anything I want. ARGHHHH!
My arms. My stomach. My butt. My boobs. My face. My legs. My vagina. My back. My body. Everything sucks.
So honestly. Tell me how many of you girls and women have said this to yourself. How many of you have looked into the mirror and stared blankly and thought “WHAT THE FUCK”. I’ll be honest. I do it almost every day. Every flipping day. I get out of the shower and look at myself like “Wow, that workout gave me no results” or “No change”. WE, all do that. If you want to deny, go ahead. I don’t care, to be honest, but deep down we both know you do the same shit as I do. Maybe not as often as I. We want fast and we want perfect. It’s quite disgusting. I’m still trying to be happy with the way I look. Everyone has a different medium of how long it takes for them to accept themselves. We try to blame ourselves when we really should blame society and their laws of beauty. Everyone is beautiful. In their own way.
Definition of Beautiful; possessing qualities that give great pleasure or satisfaction to see, hear, think about, etc; delighting the senses or mind.
We have made beauty a physical aspect only. It is no longer about what’s inside but rather what is outside. At first at least. We automatically get attracted to beauty on the outside first. I am guilty of it and you are too. But then the minute the person speaks. BOOM! Good bye buddy. We all want to be beautiful, naked or dressed. The culprit behind this new meaning of beauty; MEDIA; PHOTOSHOP. MODELLING WORLD. CELEBRITIES. MAKE UP. PLASTIC SURGERY. All these things have made us have idiotic expectations of ourselves and others. I won’t deny, it looks nice and glossy and perfect. BUT THAT’S NOT HOW WE ARE. Hate to break it to you, lovelies, you can’t be perfect. It requires time, focus, determination, stress-free life, discipline. This has also automatically degraded or decided our self-esteem. We allow other people to hold the power to decide how beautiful we are. Which we shouldn’t! I mean it’s nice to get compliments and all but you can do that yourself too. You don’t need a reference point for your beauty. You don’t need a scale of beauty. Beauty comes from within. It should be both from the outside and inside but mostly inside.
The Human Race doesn’t have time, focus, determination, stress-free life, discipline. We cannot have all these factors in our lives unless we are models, actors, crazy gym people because that’s their job! To look perfect. To be perfect. A working woman or man does not have the factors to be perfect. And that’s okay. We all attempt. But most of us fail or can’t maintain it. It’s not just about those factors. Everyone has a different body type. Everyone has different metabolisms.What works for you doesn’t mean it’s gonna work for me. Inside, we are all different. We think we know everything but we don’t! We don’t know what food or exercise works for our body for a long-term. It’s unhealthy for us. We don’t live those lifestyles. We don’t have those doctors monitoring. So we can’t be them. Not unless you want that career path then you should probably go practice. But in a healthy way. Healthy is better than Thin. We have to understand that. We need to have the desire to be fit, not thin, not skinny, not perfect. We need to be fit and healthy.
Nowadays we have plastic surgery, steroids, protein shakes, diets, fasting, cleansing, detox, all which are actually bad for you in the long-term. Not only does it make you look weird. It makes you feel weird. It’s like cheating on yourself. One day, you are gonna burst like a bubble. There is not a single old person who I have seen who looks like a fucking model. However, they are adorable and beautiful the way they are, because they have accepted themselves. They are fine with their imperfections, marks, scars, fat, muscles, whatever! They don’t care. Nor should we.
So STOP! I mean it. And this goes for me too! STOP! Accept yourself. Be confident. Be you. Don’t Judge. Love all. Work hard. Play hard. Eat everything healthily. Cleanse by pooping. Detox by water. Don’t fast, Eat five meals a day. You are on a diet already. Drink chocolate milk and eat a banana instead of a protein shake. Do all these and automatically you will have better skin and body. And it’s okay to not have a flat stomach, to have stretch marks, to be a little fat from weird places, it’s okay. Let’s change the new meaning of beauty to healthy.
