Here's the thing, people can screw their beauty standards. I am fatter than I ever was before kids. I'm heavy. I gave my husband two incredibly beautiful precious children. He still can't keep his hands off me and thinks I'm as beautiful as I was when we got married. Beyond that though, I know I'm beautiful. I don't always feel it, I get down on myself sure, but I know who I am and what makes me beautiful.
I hate this spoken and unspoken competition between women to be better than the next girl. We've got to be better, prettier, thinner, etc. For whom? If a man is comparing you to the girl next to you you don't want him. If you're sitting comparing yourself, let it go. Seriously. No, really. You'll never measure up. See, you can't know that next girl intimately enough to make a clear judgment. Sure, you might know a part, but never a whole. Are you really going to make judgments on someone and you don't even fully know them? (If so, you really suck).
I am beautiful. Inside and outside. I am not thinner than most but I am beautiful. You might be a skinny minnie and you are beautiful too. One person being awesome or exceptional doesn't have to detract from another person being awesome or exceptional. The competition needs to end.
Be beautiful, because you are whole. Be beautiful, because you are kind. Be beautiful, because you are loved. Be beautiful, because you love yourself. Take care of your body, be a healthy person, live well, and screw the rest. Comparison is carnal and it brings out the ugly envy even if you're on the winning side. It's an after taste of dissatisfaction with oneself that shines through no matter what. Be you, you are fabulous. So werk it!
