Fat Guilt

I watched a couple walk up the road, a woman with a curvy figured, slightly overweight, next to her was her man. He was slightly built and lean... The two of them laughed and chatted all the way up our street. I noticed two things: One, He was very much in awe and in love with her. And two, she was loving the attention and walked as if she was Catherine Zeta Jones...

So why do we as Caucasians feel embarrassed about our bodies if we have one iota of extra weight? Media is to blame to some degree, seeing the 'edited' and 'un-edited' Magazine covers opened my eyes to the lie that is popularised glam media. These ladies have eyes that are uneven, cellulite, chicken wings, flab, orange peel, forehead lines (notice how awful the names are for parts of our precious bodies?)

I feel challenged: LOVE YOURSELF. A sexy girl is a confident girl.
