This week I have had a lot of girl time with my friends because my husband left for the military and I have realized that they worry about body image so much. So much that they cannot have fun because they are so self conscious. They obsess over how big they are and how they don’t want people to see how they look in their clothes or even at a restaurant they don’t want people to see them eating a lot. I cannot even imagine being that self conscious. It is sad that the media has made it seem as though you have to look like a supermodel to meet you soul mate or to meet new friends. They do not like to go shopping because they do not like the number on the pair of jeans or shirt they buy. From my point of view as long as you are healthy who cares how what number you wear if you look and feel beautiful. I believe that there should be more commercials and brands like Dove that are saying all women of different sizes and shaped are beautiful not just supermodels. I also do not believe that being to big is the whole issue I also have a lot of skinny friends who hate being called “skinny as a rail” or”you look like skin and bones.” This is not a compliment and it is hurtful to people who work hard to make there body’s look like that or who just have a high metabolism. I have realized nobody likes to be singled out in anyway .
