Weighing It All

I've noticed for a number of years this growing concern about weight for both men and (predominantly) women. The progression has been fast and furious with the emergence of one too many diet pills, weight management programs such as jenny craig, self help books and so on. What happened to the time where people were comfortable in the skin they are in?

It seems to me that things have been far too motivated by the whole 'look like a super model' mentality. The sad thing is that persons tend to take the weight management thing way too far as a result there's the emergence of bulimia, anorexia nervosa and obesity.

I mean come on people NOT everyone was born to be skinny some persons are just fluffy because that's their body type. I remember a classmate I had in high school who is plump and let me tell you the girl was healthy as a horse and virtually ran rings around some of the skinny girls. Not saying that some levels of fat is not healthy because it is, what I'm saying is that you don't have to look like a stick in negative 2 (-2) sized jeans to look good or be healthy.

All I'm saying is that the constant obsession with body weight is down right disgraceful! If you are unhappy with your body then you need to ask yourself why is this so? Is it because of the hating heffer down the road or a wutliss boyfriend who has been complaining about your weight since day one? Dont let someone else influence how you feel about you......easier said than done but it is possible.
If you need or want to make a change do it for yourself and NO ONE ELSE!

I have no problem with my weight, not obese or under weight just the right size but I'm not happy with my body simply because I've moved from an active lifestyle to that of a couch potato without the couch.... the only thing I'm changing is my laziness.

The only reason for the intervention of a diet in my view of course is the fact that your current lifestyle is unhealthy.
