MGBx3J Updates // Body Shaming

So you may have noticed that I did not post a MGBx3J update last week. Honestly, the week was uneventful, so I did not feel the need to post anything! But these past two weeks have been so busy! I have somehow managed to get at least 3-4 gym sessions in (which I need to step up!). When I didn't have time for the gym, I made sure I walked my dog or did some form of cardio that day.
This next week I should have a little more time for some nightly gym sessions, so I'll be trying new things! Stay tuned!

For the second part of today's post, I'd like to talk about something I saw on a social media website this afternoon.
Something was posted about some pictures of models. It was noted that they looked "ill" and "not attractive." The post mentioned how they wanted to see women who were "normal" looking instead of what they were currently seeing.

My dear, there is no such thing as a "normal" body.

We do not know anyone's health just by looking at pictures. I could look at a woman who weighed 100 pounds and a woman who weighed 180 pounds and not know which one had a better diet or who lived healthier lifestyle. At all.
Our bodies are so incredibly unique! Instead of saying "we want to see curvy women" or "we want to see skinny women," why can't we say "we want to see healthy women!" Instead of focusing on someone's body shape, lets focus our attention on taking care of our own bodies and making them the best they can be!

As women, we have come such a long way. Why on earth would we want to put another woman down just because her body is different than yours? Maybe she is ill. But telling her that she is "unattractive" will not make her situation any better. It will not make you look any better. Like I've said before: you choose to be offended. Why not just not comment? Why do you have to bring another down just because they have chosen to look a certain way? It could be that said person did not even choose to look that way! Some people have trouble gaining or losing weight! That person is in no way, shape, or form negatively affecting you. And if you think she is, then you need to reevaluate your situation.

This post was not aimed at anyone specific, though it may have sounded so at the beginning. I've seen all types of body shaming for years all over social media. All I'm asking is to please stop and think about what you're saying before you post it, especially if it's directed at someone's physical appearance.
