Oh Baby! How We’ve Changed
Boy, things have really changed since the 60’s haven’t they!? This is an actual ad from a magazine back when a voluptuous woman was appreciated and considered beautiful. A little padding was the fashion from the days of renaissance era, and probably before that, so why do we strive to be as thin as possible now a days? Admittedly, obesity is not the healthiest of lifestyles, but really, even women
I know who are 10, 20, 30 pounds over what the fashion magazines say they should weigh complain about their weight. My daughter has about 20 pounds, along with a little belly, and all she does is worry about her weight! I think me need to pay less attention to the bathroom scale, and more attention to living our lives without fear something so trivial. The most important thing is to feel good, and live a healthy, happy life. So what are you waiting for?? Stop worrying about whether or not you’ll fit in to that tiny bikins, Go have some fun!
That is funny! In some cultures having some meat on your bones is seen as a sign of prosperity and health. It’s sad that our society thinks skinny is the ideal. Why can’t we accept people for their nature body type and realize that you can be beautiful in many different ways.
I think that too many people are indeed to skinny!! I mean overweight is not healthy either… But geeze have some meat on those bones!!
To All who commented: I appreciate all your comments. Thank you for reading my blog! Body image is so important. I’m not saying that being obese is healthy OR sexy, what I am trying to say is that we should not obsess over the size of our bodies if we are curvy and voluptous. Enjoy life to it’s fullest and either accept yourself or change it if you can… in a healthy way. Thanks again!
