To be Thick or Thin
Ever walked into a clothes store and had to walk right out cause there was nothing in your size? Well how about walking into many stores and going through that embarrassing experience. You may begin to believe that its just you, and losing a few pounds might be good. But really? Personally, I feel its a form of discrimination to the full figured women in our society. Not to mention this puts an immense pressure on our teen girls to be thin. Exactly, what message are we sending to them? The tons of commercials that relate to having the perfect figure, impressing upon the subconscious minds of our young girls the wrong idea about beauty and one's self-image. If you don't stay within a certain weight range you wont be able to purchase clothes of the rack? And don't get me started on the way those store clerks practically look down on you. Its almost like a black person walking into a 'whites only store'. Well, I don't know about you, but frankly that's how I feel. Variety is the spice of life. If we all looked the same, wore the same clothes, ate the same foods, what would that say about our Creator ,God? Young women and girls need to be taught that uniqueness is the 'in thing'. While 'cloning' is not. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. Its bad enough we young women have to be concerned with so many issues facing us on a daily basis. That we have to be bothered by not 'fitting in' just cause we ate that last bucket of ice-cream or gained ten extra pounds. Don't get me wrong, am all for living a healthy lifestyle. Which is where true beauty lie. I say its gone too far. Young women and girls should understand that self-esteem does not come about from external factors but internal. That is, one should feel good about who they are because of their own uniqueness. Because you are God's special creation. Because you live a healthy lifestyle. Which by the way has nothing to do with being a specific weight. If someone can't accept me for who I am because am not the weight or size they think I should be, well that is an obvious sign I should 'purge' them out of my life - period. Life is hard enough as it is for us to keep negative people around , especially those whose main goal maybe to put us down. Remember its important to love what you already have first. Otherwise you will end up living your life as a 'people pleaser' person. When that happens you will eventually lose the essence of who you are, and also the respect of others. Discover who you are. Get to know yourself. Get to know the one Who made you. Enjoy being a youth while you are. Learn to love and be grateful to our Creator for the marvelous person he designed. When you do this, you will have a desire to be the best you can be. Even If it means changing to a healthier lifestyle to enhance you. Of course finding a good seamstress or learning to sew your own clothes would not be such a bad idea. But let it never be that you feel pressured to fit into a new size or clique. In that way even if you do live a healthier lifestyle and you do not come down to the accepted weight by society, you will love yourself nevertheless. Remember its important to love what you already have first. Otherwise you will end up living your life as a 'people pleaser' person. When that happens you will eventually lose the essence of who you are, and also the respect of others. Believe me when I tell you people will respect you for it in the end. And when you walk into that plus size store, walk with your head high. Thanks to the famous comedian, Monique, big is now the new beautiful. You go girl! |
