Have a good body image

Lately, I’ve noticed that my friends criticize other women’s bodies a great deal…they either seem to dislike them, be disgusted, want to bang them, or are just nit picky about every single “flaw” (subjective). No wonder I have issues! I do it as well, though. A body or a feature of a figure does not have to be perfect to be considered beautiful.

I do not care what is stereotypically attractive because I usually go against the grain but that means that I criticize what the majority thinks is beautiful or at least what the media wants us to think. Magazines seems to thrive on insecurities…how to have toner arms, flatter stomachs, get sexy cleavage, firm up your bottom, shape up your thighs… What the hell gave you the impression that they weren’t good enough in the first place? Maybe I like my body type. All body types have their advantages and perceived shortcomings.
