Ladies this post is for you. Gentlemen, time to surf your other favorite websites.
I'm hear to tell you we all hate our bodies or at the very least go through phases that we do. Every single one of us has body image issues. You know those CrossFit girls who seem to have all the confidence in the world and walk around in short shorts and tiny shirts? Every single one of them has bodies insecurities, believe it, it's true. We are all in the same boat with this one. I have come to believe that it is in our biological make up to be crazy about our looks. I mean that makes sense right? Our biological goal is to meet a mate and how are we going to do that if we don't look like what we think is our best, and generally that is a skewed version of what we are feed as girls. And I hate to say it the behaviors of our men and the men around us.
Well I doubt we will be able to fight thousands of years of evolution. So what can we do? Keep reinforcing the idea that strong is beautiful. Understand that breakable is not attractive, but capable is. Continue to fight the weight taboo. The scale does not define us. The scale isn't even a depiction of the truth. Do the things that make us feel good. Confidence is far more attractive then skinny ever will be.
I was inspired to write this rant, because I came across yet another beautiful women feeling as though she was in some way unattractive. While I've always thought of her a strong a beautiful. Her outlook was spot on, her story is all too familiar. Check out Julie Bauer's "Finding my inner strength" post here: PaleOMG
So ladies the facts are these; do the things you know you need to do to be healthy and leave the worrying behind. Eat to feel good (I mean really good not, real bad), workout hard and intensely, get sunshine, laugh and love as often as possible. The rest doesn't matter, and is probably just in your head anyways.
