Every once in a while I venture onto the message boards for magazines like Seventeen and Glamour just to see what the hot topics are. One thing never ceases to amaze me when I do this. The "health" and "beauty" boards are full of questions about dieting, extreme weight loss, and basically how to look "hotter." This is so ridiculous. I just saw a question about how to drop 50 pounds like it's nothing. That doesn't happen! Plus, it's terribly dangerous to drop that kind of weight quickly. Another question asked how to get leaner and taller. I can understand wanting to be leaner. It's healthy (to a point), but why in the world would you ask how to get taller? You can't do anything to control your height. God made you the way He wants you to be. You are absolutely perfect. Why are girls so obsessive with how to improve their looks? Yes, I'm guilty of it as well, but I'm learning to be happy with who I am and to love myself. Nothing is going to change that.
"I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."
-Marilyn Monroe
Can I just say that this woman was full of wonderful quotes? I went to a site searching for the quote above and found tons of great ones. She knew who she was and loved herself for it. Why can't we all do that?
I have a feeling alot of those things are being driven by Hollywood and men. Most guys out there want to be with a girl who is 120lbs not someone who is bigger. I do say most because there are still plenty of guys out there who will take you as you are. I think Marilyn Monroe put it the best though in that quote
