Skinny Girls Are For Wimps and Big is Drop Dead Gorgeous

Okay so I am not going to lie... I am under no false impression's that I am skinny. I am a hefty size woman and I am proud of it!  I read everyday about Doctors going on and on about how us heavy sized people need to go on diets and how we need to try this new "Skinny making" drink and I honestly want to puke.

As a human I understand the importance of being healthy and I try my damnedest to do be so, but I'm also happy with the way my body looks. I feel good in my own skin and that's really all that matters. I eat healthy enough (though I will admit I do have a bad caffeine addiction and soda is my heroin), but I am not about to turn myself into one of those, Half a Grapefruit, 1/2 cups of almonds, and 1 glass of soy milk kinda girl.

When I was in Junior High School I was "The Fat Girl". Everyone made fun of me for my weight and it killed me every day, When I went to High School I still got made fun of but I learned to stick up for myself and not let any of their crap bother me. My weight never bothered my friends (or atleast they never said anything). I was at one time a size 16w, but I blame that not on my own hard work but on the fact that I was on a Crap ton of Medicine. The Point is that even though now I'm a Size 22W, I feel great! So what if I'm not skinny enough to wear a bikini or wear short shorts, I love my self and who I am and if anyone else doesn't like it well then don't look.

Society places so much pressure on young girls today to be some model of perfection, with a skinny waist and big boobs and whats worse is that we don't even realize the damage we are causing. We are setting up unrealistic goals that we know that some of them will never be able to achieve. As a mother I want my daughter to be happy about they way she looks and to feel good about it, whither she be skinny like her Father or heavy set with a little junk in the trunk like me. I don't want to see the day where my Daughter comes home crying because someone made fun of her because of the way she looks, I want her to come home and say to me "Mom, someone made fun of me today because I look different and I told them where they could shove it".

You should love yourself the way God made you and be happy about it. God made you perfect even if you are a "Big Beautiful Woman" like me. You were made in HIS image and not anyone else's, you should not change anything about yourself just because you feel the need to because people tell you, that you should.

Here's an example.. My sister is pretty and skinny, she can literally eat anything she wants and not gain a single pound. For years my Grandmother along with several others in my family have been telling me that I  need to lose weight, well every time they say something about my weight it just irks me. I really think that it bothers them that im not skinny like my sister. The way I look at things are like this.. My Husband loves me for my personality and not the way I look, my friends dont mind how I look they too like me for my personality... So why in the Hell would I want to change myself to make anyone else happy but myself?

Today I read an article about a guy who created a Barbie doll using 3D technology that was averaged sized, ( Here is the link: http://thestir.cafemom.com/big_kid/157860/artist_creates_barbie_with_averagesize#commentBox ) and when I looked at this Barbie doll I was like WOW!!  I literally think the average Barbie looks better then the Old one. You can judge for yourself.. Im going to leave it here and call it night.
