I'm Back with a Thought..

Yah this one took a while to yank out. Actually I've just gotten very lazy with posting. Anyways here goes.

It deals with self image. So...I was thinking..is there any girl out there happy with her body? Either girls (majority) complain about being fat or something..or some complain about being skinny. Is there a woman out there who is happy with herself or her body image.

I got thinking on this topic because all my friends are always like, well I wish I was like that, or this. So...I'm read an article on yahoo news (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070417/ap_on_re_af/mauritania_loving_fat) about how "fat beauties" are the thing in Mauritania. I was like whaaaat. Here's a line from the article which baffled me and honestly pissed me off and made me want to post here. In this country, evidently being huge is considered it. And girls are force fed when they are young to become fat. The bigger the better. Men there fall in love with girls who are fat and love them fat, once she loses the weight..so goes the love for her. Men in that country get pissed and find the girl undersirable when she loses the weight..even though the girl may suffer from diabetes, blood pressure, heart disease you name it..

so here's the line: "When I was little, my mother hit me to eat because I didn't want to be fat. Now I want to be big because men like that," said Bilkhere, who wants to gain more than 20 pounds."

Soo...this points to the root of it all. ALL woman or a ton of woman will gain weight to be desirable to men, or lose it for men. Key word "FOR"...not for HERSELF..but for a MAN. Come on..why can't we tell these men to lose a few on their fat bellies and huge bodies..why the hell must a girl lose or gain to please a dude. I think men should be losing to please us. Woman should also say no can do dude..leave in response to those pigs out there.

I swear....Honestly I lost quite a bit of weight..I did it because it made me feel better, made me feel good about myself. I never did it for anyone..nor will I ever let that bug me. I eat what I want, do what I want..and on days I feel a lil on the pudgy side, I go workout... But I do it for MYSELF...yet...I will not say it's solely me..because my thoughts and how I think are ingrained in my head from culture, culture that I grew up in..so I can't say the way I think is me...it's society too.

I just think that if woman wanna lose weight, they should do it so that they feel good about themselves..and nothing else.
