Every Size is Beautiful

Everywhere you look there's magazine covers, posters, billboards and some type of advertising with women promoting products or being featured. But the biggest thing that I have noticed is that everyone just seems to gravitate to the thin, fit, gorgeous girls that just seem to have every hair in place and have just the exact weight that young women are SUPPOSED to have. Wait... since WHEN did perfect bodies and unblemished skin become what we women are supposed to look like?! I mean seriously! Not every woman should look the same! We ought to be comfortable with ourselves enough to not have to feel like we need to cover up our freckles, birthmarks and scars with layers of makeup or feel bad that they exist. Instead we should be proud of how we were made. Yes, women need to do what they can to take care of their bodies and I do not think it is wrong to do what is necessary to maybe lose weight for health's sake. Fat is not healthy but nobody should feel bad to go in public dressed nice because they are feeling compared to others.

Being compared to someone who is "perfect" feels like you will never measure up. Especially since it is EXTREMELY difficult to juggle life with a diet that may end up costing an arm and a leg just to buy the bare minimum to even START the diet. If you can't afford to go all out on a diet, just do what you can as you can afford it. But don't feel like you are ugly because you are too fat or too skinny...because yes there are some who just cannot put on the weight they need to look healthy. I sympathize more with the thick girls but that does not mean the thinnest are not the happiest. I know the feeling of not being able to look in the mirror because you see nothing pretty about your looks. I know what it's like to stand in a room full of gorgeous girls with silky tresses and smooth skin and feel like an ogre. I have often felt compared to the amazing, perfect blondes with shining blue eyes and white, unblemished faces. I still struggle at times. Especially when all the country songs, folk songs, fairytales and Et cetera are about girls with hair of gold and skin like "milk". There are plenty of thicker, brunettes and redheads that are absolutely BEAUTIFUL as well that ought to have songs and stories written about them. Freckles are so pretty to me and I am so thrilled that the new Princess Megan is not about to cover hers up. Natural is so refreshing and sweet and if you can encourage your skin to be beautiful on its own by taking care of it then you will be doing a good thing.

Instead of trying to measure ourselves by the standards the world puts before us as Hollywood stars and photography models portray, we ought to just be happy being in our own BEAUTIFUL bodies! We ARE beautiful no matter if you can only shop in the kids section or if you have to order online! All of us are unique in our own way and each of us have something that makes us beautiful. 

To me, personality makes a big difference and if you can be confident in your own body your personality will have a chance to show just how GORGEOUS you are! Each of us have a personality and no two are alike...though I do think there may be some who have similarities and those girls should find each other and be like stepping stones to each other in the journey towards seeing themselves as beautiful and special in their own bodies.

Go out and buy a pretty outfit and walk with confidence!

You are beautiful no matter what size you are!
