Many of you will understand the importance of this blog...and some of you won't. If you area girl, and watched the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, you will surely understand. We live in a world that's based around self image. Every store that we walk into has mannequins dressed perfectly to try to fit the perfect image or fashion statement (do I dare call it fashion?) that is popular in the culture. Needless to say, young girls and woman are getting a distorted view of what they should see when they look into the mirror. Do you know that eighty percent of girls hate the way that they look? We all have those days where we want to punch the mirror just because we don't think we look presentable...that's wrong.
Reason 1: You don't need to please anyone!
You are beautifully and wonderfully made by a God who created you exactly the way that He wanted. I know how hard it is in this world to go day by day without pleasing anyone. I am a people pleaser. I want to please everybody; however, that becomes very dangerous. Working yourself to the point of trying to look absolutely perfect before you step outside is not okay. You don't need to put on extra makeup or dress extra nice to try to make anybody in your life fall in love with you for your outer appearance. You are beautiful no matter what anybody says!
Let's be honest...food is good! Cheesecake is irresistible...and life is crazy! When life gets crazy, we want chocolate! I don't know about you but I would rather be happy eating yummy foods than to be a size 2 with the perfect shape. It's not worth it! Let's be real...it's important to stay in shape for good health...but gosh darn it we don't need to look perfect! Those models out there are on strict diets that forbid them from eating sweets...they probably run like crazy...and they probably devote their life to their image...something that is nearly impossible to do!
Reason 3: You don't need a selfie a day!
Let's face it...why do we take selfies? We want living proof that before we left the house, we looked super fab! So...we post it on facebook or instagram! ...and then we wait to see how many likes and comments we get...because those determine your beauty? No. They don't.
Reason 4: You don't need a thigh gap!
Okay, who made this up in the first place? Thigh gap? Guys...we aren't chickens! We have legs. We have thighs. Some are bigger or smaller than others and that's perfectly fine! The thigh gap was just something somebody made up to measure a girl's weight. We don't need another measuring tool whenever we are made to get on the scale every time we go to the doctor. Ignore it...get comfortable in your own skin.
Reason 5: You need to focus on your health more than your image!
There is a point where you can be too skinny or too "thick" and it effects your health. Guys...this is the important part. Image doesn't matter, but your heath does! Being healthy is the key...that's what matters!
