Thoughts On: Body Image

As a person living on planet earth, I can't ignore the fact that we are sold pretty much everything by either a man or a woman who is thin and attractive. 

We know that sex sells and we can't help noticing those abs in a commercial or a nude woman selling perfume.

Sitting on the bus on the way to work, I can't help but notice that on posters, it's only models or the hottest celebrity that are used to sell the latest serum or lipstick. I'm not the first person to notice these things or talk about them.

Although fashion has progressed in some way and we have plus models on runways, we still have a long way to go to show kids that they are perfect just the way they are.

Fitness is great. Promoting a positive message to men and women when it comes to their health is what we need. My main issue is when we women compare each other, our bodies and speed of weight loss; this also includes new mothers. Why is there so much pressure for them to lose weight? And so fast?

I really hope we continue to love each other and support each other. Empathy and compassion go a long way.

Love,
