When people look at me, I don't know what traverse through their minds but if they pity me or scorn me or eye me disdainfully for being obese ....I want to say to all of them that health is subjective, and that I am under no obligation to strive for the 'perfect body size' to look attractive.
I am getting deeper into body positivity and I am not saying it’s healthy to be fat, but just that I love myself and my body as much as 'the so called in shape' people do!! And why shouldn't I ??
I am learning to glorify this body that did not get enough praise when it started gathering all those extra pounds first at waist, then at hips and gradually all over. I am learning to glorify every moment I am alive in this body that others may discard as 'out of shape' or 'unhealthy' and so I no longer feel the need to hide my bulges beneath layers or drapes or over flowing-over sized dresses.
I am extremely proud of myself that I have finally learnt to be comfortable in my skin, love my shape and can walk with my head held high in the styles I love and choose to wear and I actually look flatteringly stunning in them because I have confidence in my shape and know that I can carry myself in style.
When beauty is inside you, it reflects on the outside as well and that's what really counts !!!
