Over the
past few years I have received compliments like “even though you are big you
are still beautiful” as touching and those compliments may be I still find them
insulting. I am what people consider to be plus sized; this somehow puts a limit
on how ‘beautiful’ I can be. I wouldn’t
dream of going up to my naturally slim friend and say “you’re beautiful even
though you are skinny” so why should it be different for others? Why can’t all
people of all body shapes and sizes be considered beautiful? In addition, I do
strongly believe that beauty isn’t just a matter of physical appearance it’s
the moral and emotional side of a person too.
Undoubtedly
I could afford to lose some weight, I could cut calories, hit the gym but I
simply don’t want to. I value other aspects of my life more highly than my
physical appearance like my education, my hobbies and interests. I can
definitely think of worse things to be in the world than fat. But for the
record if I was to take refuge during a zombie apocalypse my fat stores could
keep me alive for a very long time (just saying). To reiterate my point A GOOD
PHYSICAL APPERANCE IS NOT THE ULTIMATE FACTOR FOR SUCCESS. As human beings we
can be so much more than just physically attractive , we can be funny, intelligent,
compassionate and so much more! My fat is just stored energy cells it does not
limit me in any of my personal qualities. I am happy and healthy, that is what
matters to me and the people I care about most.
Always ,
