Which one looks healthy to you?
Since when was beautiful defined by size?
Always? Maybe. But why the hell why?
Marilyn Monroe (The sexiest woman ever alive)
Wore her dresses size 12; full hips, thick thighs.
A size 12 in this day, is “fat”(some would say);
& yet Marilyn’s body made every mans day.
So when did a measuring tape start to decide,
Whether or not you could be desired?
Back in the day a full woman was a prize,
She symbolized wealth (& health) for her guy.
But apparently now, skeletons are most pretty,
Although last time I checked real men like healthy, not skinny.
This isn’t to say though to judge the other extreme,
Skinny is beautiful when by healthy means.
If someone is ridiculed for being too large,
We should know that not everyone’s small ’cause they starve.
Hard work can obtain you a healthy small figure,
When addressing true beauty, look at the whole picture.
So instead of thinking in terms of size,
And judging one’s health by the looks of their thighs,
Why don’t we check out the contents of her heart?
Instead of her stomach, at least that’s a start…
For a woman who loves with everything in her,
Doesn’t need to be judged by what she ate (or didn’t eat) for dinner.
I totally agree with him; beauty is being defined – primarily by American society – as being super skinny. That is the farthest thing from what actually constitutes being healthy :( Great post and I look forward to sharing more with you:))
Agree with Dr. Seuss? These are actually my own words, but just a silly name since it had such a Dr. Seuss sound to it. Sorry if there was confusion! :)
But thank you! Yes, I feel the same way. I love all the “healthy is the new skinny” campaigns going on right now though. Very encouraging! :)
Love it! As a curvy girl myself, I often despair of meeting a man who doesn’t prefer a skinny girl. And they buy themselves fake boobs, too; it’s so unfair!! And I’m size 10, big bones, hourglass shape. I truly love my body and am getting to the point where I don’t CARE what anyone else thinks! (most of the time….)
Thank you! And way to be! It seems like it’s impossible not to struggle with body image at one point in life or another, but I think a healthy mindset like that automatically makes someone more beautiful :)
