Inspired by Weight Loss Ads
Some of you probably think I'm just trying to rip off my own "I am Beautiful" pic. And this is kind of like that.
Look, I'm not going to blather on about ridiculous standards of beauty and body. You've all heard it before and you don't need to hear it again. It just bothers me that all this stuff is being marketed to us telling us we're hideous.
This is what I look like around the middle. I'm not ashamed of it and I'mm sick of people telling me I should be for the sake of being "healthy." Yes, obesity is a problem for those who are, in fact, obese. But I'm fine. A bit of extra pudge is not going to give me Type II diabetes.
Eating disorders are the most idiotic diseases a society can come up with, yet we've managed to do that. Of course, this does sound like a finger-wagging at people who have them. The old tough love echo "You don't want to eat when there are millions of people starving? Fine, you dumb bitch, don't eat!" But it's not hard to take things to extremes when you're bombarded by things telling you that something like what's pictured above is HORRIBLE AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED OR YOU'RE NOT TRYING HARD ENOUGH, YOU FAT BASTARD.
The fact is that I don't mind if my belly is still like this after six weeks. Take your belly transformation ads and stick them up your ass.

The standards of beauty are so sickening.
Also, I'm proud tp have inspired you. Like seriously. I'm gleaming.
Why? You know a lot of it is sarcasm, don't you?
Yeah I know, it's just that anytime that topic is brought up it just gets to me and bothers me.
I just finished a book called "Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters" (By Courtney Martin) Anyway, it's really good.
