Girl Look at that Body …

Whether you are a male or female follower of the blog, one thing is for sure. You are constantly surrounded by the images of slender, god or goddess, super toned and ripped, drenched in oil celebs and models. *As if we needed anything else to make us feel less than…*

For example, the new and improved, Khloe Kardashian (I know, didn’t even recognize her right?!). Anyone who knows me, knows that I pretty much cannot stand that entire family (with the exception of North), but figure she is one of the perfect examples to get my point across. Just look at her…all toned, slender, sleek, waxed, oiled and ready to go *I feel like I’m talking about a car for god’s sake* Many girls and women see this image and think that anything less than this, is not good enough. It makes me sick that almost every time I go onto Instagram, yet another photo of a half naked celeb/model hits the feed and girls/guys go nuts bashing themselves. “If only I could look like this”, “Bae goals”, “LIFE goals, I want to kill myself”, “OMG, why can’t I look like this”, “Seriously, we need to get like this”, “Time to starve myself”, “Impossible, never going to happen :(“, “How is she so perf?!” The nauseating list goes on and on…

Little do people forget, the reason why I’ll never know…but these people are FAMOUS. They have oodles and oodles of money and the best cosmetic surgeons on speed dial. Not to say that Koko didn’t lose some of her weight by means of her personal trainer, Gunnar Peterson, BUT 99.9% of what you see is thanks to the magic of cosmetic surgery and insane Photoshop. For those people who undergo the knife to be happy with their appearance, good for you. No shade to be thrown here, I just wanted to share that not everything is what it seems.

There is this crazy agenda out there in the media world that wants to keep all of us men and women feeling down in the dumps about ourselves and it’s time we fight back. Boycott the purchase of magazines that tell you the below images are what’s “sexy” “cool” “desired” “perfect” and so on. Write in to the editors of these magazines and let them know how you really feel!*cue crowd cheering music* Grab your pitch forks and torches and stand outside of their offices and let them know WE’RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE….Well, maybe not that far, but you get what I’m saying.

 

Women-you need bigger boobs, Dudes- you need tighter pecks that do that creepy up and down thing when you flex, smaller waist *refer to my Got Waist blog post*, get the rounded/perky butt, firm those disgustingly flabby arms, get rid of the jelly rolls on the sides of your stomach, and tone those cottage cheese thighs. It’s really annoying and I for one am tired of it. So seriously, the next time you see this sh*t in the magazine aisle…keep it moving. The next time it pops up on your tv…change the freaking channel. The next time you see it on your social media sites…just remember it’s not even REAL. There was an amazing video that hit youtube and thankfully went viral not too long ago, I encourage you all to watch it…

As mentioned, I am an aspiring model and actress. There have been numerous castings/auditions/meetings with agents that did not pan out the way I would of liked. I’ve been told that I am not tall enough, not thin enough, not big enough, skin is too dark, skin is too light, too curvy, not curvy enough, etc. Needless to say, you have to have a tough skin to be in this business, thankfully I have just that.

This is me. I stand at 5 feet 7 inches tall, 188 pounds, blissfully blessed bosom, 31-32 inch waist, no chiseled six pack abs, thighs for days, and arms that won’t put a body builder to shame. While I do want to tone up certain areas, for my own liking… guess what?! ::I LOVE ME:: and it is me who is going to keep pushing for this movement of self acceptance and love. Join me in this movement. Hashtag your beautiful selfies with the tag #iLoveMe and #NotSorryForThisBody. I can’t wait to see all your amazing photos! Let’s make this viral guys, I know we can do it!

Let’s be clear, I am not a proponent of obesity and an overall unhealthy lifestyle. I just want to pass the message of self love, healthy living and happiness. If you don’t feel totally happy and comfortable in the skin you’re in, then change it! Love yourself in every stage, because even at your goal weight/look, you will not be happy if you’re not happy from the start. Soooo, the next time you want to judge yourself against someone who is in the mags, just remember…not even they look like that.

So there media, we love ourselves and there’s nothing you can do to change it!
