Perfect Body

            I never understood how the standards of a woman's beauty went from being curvy (roughly around a 11) to being skinny (a size 5 or less) With the model's and actress' in the media that are being portrayed to the world it isn't hard to see why so many women have bad body images. The media have set the standards of what they believe beauty is so high that its actually unrealistic. Not every woman in the world can be the size two with C cup breast. Woman come in all shapes and sizes just like men do. Most women's metabolism won't allow for them to be able to eat what ever they want and expect to not gain any weight. In my opinion women shouldn't worry about those women in the media. Instead just work on keeping yourself healthy. If you stop worrying about every other woman around you you'll actually be so much happier.
            This next part goes out to all the men. Why would you want to date a woman that's so skinny you can see her ribs? Literally most men seem to want the woman that looks like she's breakable. These women that are size 2's usually don't have very good self esteem or confidence. It would make more sense to me to look for a woman with curves that holds her head high from self confidence. One of the most beautiful models out there is Marilyn Monroe who was actually a size 12. She was not only a model but and actress as well as a singer. This very successful woman wasn't a size 2 and wasn't literally skin and bones. If I'm going to try to aim for a woman in the media to try and emulate I would pick her. Her body type is one that is quite achievable just from eating healthy and having a regular exercise routine. Setting up a goal to reach when it comes to trying to lose weight for woman isn't a bad thing but don't make that goal one that leads you to a size 0. What some women don't realize is that there is such a thing as being too skinny and that can be quite unhealthy. I would very much be a size 8 or 10 and be healthy than being a size 2 or 5 and feeling like I have no energy to do anything. 
             For all those women out there that are trying to hard to be that perfect image of a female body, STOP. There is no such thing as the perfect body. There are all kinds of body shapes out there and standing in front of the mirror saying that this and that is wrong with your body isn't what you should be doing. Even plastic surgery isn't going to give you that perfect image you're looking for. Instead just strive to be healthy and happy. When you achieve these two you're self esteem will follow. Just by getting healthy I've noticed my self esteem is better than it ever has been in my entire life. I've stopped really caring about what everyone thinks about my body. Instead I care more about just enjoying life and not worrying as much. Just got to kick the stress of achieving that perfect body out the window. Wouldn't you want to get rid of stress in your life even if it's a little one? Wouldn't it be easier to be happy if their is less stress in your life?
