Health

There was once a time that being skinny was a bad thing, and women were looking for ways to gain weight... than there was a time where every girl wanted to be thin- having hips and a butt was a bad thing.... and now if you don't have curves- you're made fun of- you aren't classified as "sexy". When will people realize that it doesn't matter what others think but what you are happy with? I mean don't get me wrong- there is a point where you are to skinny or to thick that it is unhealthy for you- but as long as you are healthy and feel good- what does it matter if someone has more curves, or has a bigger butt,or a smaller waste than you? Some people are physically built differently- for example- I have a friend who eats like a football player, does a ton of squats, but still doesn't gain any curves- where as for me- due to my Mexican/Samoan blood- am naturally very tall and curvy. I envy her for her muscular healthy body- but she envies my curvy body- even though of the two of us- she spends her time working out and eating well, and I spend my time feeling blah and starving myself... When I was consistently working out and eating healthy, yes I put a little weight on, but I was healthy and happy- I felt good about myself. Our generation is known for their depression and anxiety- but when you think about it- most of that is self inflicted because we spend so much time worrying about what others think of us instead of focusing on what God thinks of us and what makes us happy. And our physical health and well being. Society keeps changing their standards- but does that mean we have to change ours? Be healthy and be happy- God made everyone unique in their own way- so why try and change what God has created?
