Western popular culture is a bit obsessed with the pursuit of thin. We obsess over workouts, diets, Biggest Loser-type weight loss competitions all under the guise of a single definition of beauty.
And while the conspiracy of using thinness as a proxy for health is the subject for a different post, we wanted to take a moment to tell you something most fitness outlets might not:
You are not a pear. You are not a triangle, a rectangle, an apple or any inanimate thing. Your body type is exactly that ... yours, which makes your body especially unique and beautiful indeed.
Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but your body and your beauty is beholden to no one! Sure, spend time getting your body as strong and healthy as you can, but remember to love your beautiful body for every thing it is rather than shaming it for what it isn't. Remember to #BYOB, Behold your own beauty! :)
