Merry Meet Seeker, I know how frustrating it can be when we think that we need to lose weight. Did you know that in earlier times skinny people had the same problems as overweight people have now? As times change, perceptions change, fashions change, people get depressed What we see on the media such as TV, Websites,etc lead us to believe that only skinny, ematiated models are attractive. However, history shows that happy people, regardless of their body shape, size or color, can have happy lives. If you look around your neighborhood and count the number of happy couples, you will see that there is no size or shape that defines happiness. However, when you are in your teens, the world seems so hostile if you are not built according to the specifications of “beauty” at that specific time. Times change and as we know, people change. Our weights go up and down depending on our growth periods and life changes such as puberty, marriage, pregnancy, peri-menopause, etc. We have to accept and love our body regardless of what others think. Self-hatred is at the core of eating disorders that may last a long time and which may erode our self-esteem enough so that we may lose our objectivity and start to believe that being skinny is hte only way to live. A smart child knows that the healthy way to live is the ONLY way to live; which means that we eat the right proportion of wholesome (natural and organic) foods that are good for our body. Our body will be healthy when we consciously choose the right foods in the right proportions and exercise vigorously every day. You will be beautiful when you stop worrying about gaining weight and change your thoughts to choosing the right foods for life. Forget dieting, desserts, etc and focus on enjoying your meals. The more you enjoy good, healthy, wholesome food, the less of the high-fat nasty fast foods you will buy or use. You can stop worrying about being skinny. And start enjoying your life right now. Brightest Blessings. Rose.
