How Can You Hate This Body??

Meet Kate Upton. I just met her today via this Yahoo! article so if you think she's hot, Google her. Anyway, what is so special about her? To start of with the positive ones, she landed the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition and a GQ cover as well. On the other hand, she's been subject to controversy recently when a skinny blog wrote that she has “huge thighs, NO waist and big fat floppy boobs.” Also, “She looks like a squishy brick. Is this what American women are ‘striving’ for now? The lazy, lardy look. Have we really gotten so fat in this country that Kate is the best we can aim for? Sorry, but: eww!”

Um, if Kate is fat, what would that make me?

I think she has just the right kind of bikini body, as well as a body I'd die just trying to have. Anyway, since the controversy, the skinny blogger vowed to change the content of her blog.

Peace and love, people!!

What do you think? Her body is smashing, right??

Campaign for Curves

Some vintage ads I saw in a Yahoo! article back when women wanted to get fat. It's amazing to note that these were from some 50-60 years ago, and now society is worshiping the opposite end of the rainbow. Don't get me wrong, that by posting this, I am saying MY body type is the best. It's not; I do go to the gym to lose some weight. But let me tell you, I used to think it was so unfair that us plus sized girls were looked down upon and for a time, I was angry/envious of skinny people cause it seemed that they had it so easy. These views changed when I learned more about body types and how everything works. I think the body which we have now is just a mixture of things we can control (like eating and discipline during exercise) vs things we can't (like genetics).

So, I can't exactly hate skinny people for being born skinny BUT I can hate (probably too strong a word) chide myself for not working hard enough or not eating right. Work on the things you CAN change. And it's not about body types. It's about being healthy and happy in the skin you're in!
