The reason why I brought this up is because I have these converse-style shoes that go up to just under my knee and I hadn't worn them since last year. I realized today, as I looked at them how skinny my legs used to be and I actually became sick because you get all this motivation these days about being skinny but what's the point of being skinny but being unhealthy?
My ex's dad once told me he used to be about 7 stone, and because of this obviously your internal organs slim down as well as you - so one day he was eating chocolate (harmless chocolate) and it ended up puncturing his oesophagus. This story is what made my eyes open up!
Now, you get some people who are naturally skinny, yet eat like a horse but they're just the lucky ones! In a way we can all be the lucky ones if we become proud of our weight, I'm not the skinniest anymore but I can say I am hell of a lot healthier. I eat my three meals a day and have started to walk a lot to keep my weight where it is. You can be chubby, non-skinny and be happy, and vice versa.
This post isn't to shame you if you are skinny, it's to warn those who are trying to become skinnier than skinny; it seriously is not worth it! If you can't take it from me, then take it from Demi Lovato - she became obsessed with how she looked weight-wise and now through rehab she is an ideal healthy role model and she isn't size 4! Not all models you see today are size 4, or have perfect teeth and perfect hair, it's about time we change this stereo-type of today's world.
Eat Healthy, Exercise regularly and let our metabolism deal with our weight - Not us!
Remember, our loved ones will love us if we're size 4 or size 40 - just along as we have a fat heart!
