Tuesday's Trials & Tribulations. #4.

This miserable body.

If you could change just one part of your body what would you change ?
your tummy ?
your boobs ?

For me it would have to be my tummy (although a face transplant sounds quite nice).
I had that "leftover pregnancy bulge" from the age of nine years old & when I eventually did have a pregnancy the bulge neither grew nor shrunk it just stayed exactly the same proud in the fact that it was there forever & nothing I could do would alter that fact.
I hate the way television & magazines are full of size zero / UK size 6 models, even if I was a fashion victim which incidently I'm not my tummy would never be flat like these womens tummy's it's unattainable for the large majority of us.

These media publications & shows are to blame for the dislike many women have for their bodies & for the constant dieting many women live by.
Even young teens & tweenies are not exempt from this bombarding of skinny ideals after all Barbie wouldn't be able to stand if her proportions were true-life.
Anorexia & other eating disorders are on the rise & the young women (and men) affected are getting younger & younger already living enshrined in the belief that if they aren't pitifully underweight then they are fat.

I'm sick & tired of the skinny Victoria Beckham styled women of this world & I wish more young girls would emulate Tyra Banks & understand that as long as you're happy inside, in good health & make the most of what you have you can look great whether you're a size 6, 10, 14 or even 22.


So this is today's T & T because how on earth am I meant to feel good about myself & see myself realistically when all the women on tv & in magazines weigh an average of 3 stone.
