It is summer, which means every single girl is self conscious about her body because it is swimsuit season. Everyone is hitting the gym and eating healthy to keep their figure. Everyone wants to have the "perfect" body. That is not me, I like the way I look without having to stress about it and here is why.
I am naturally skinny, sorry. I was just born that way and that is not my fault. I was born small and have been small my entire life. Yes, I can gain weight and have gained weight, but all that weight just goes to different parts of my body, and I can lose it pretty easily. I have even lost weight without even trying.
I am not ashamed of my body or wish to change it. Yes, I can tone some parts if I want to, but that is for me to decide and not anybody else. I like my body for what it is. I am comfortable in my own skin.
If I am being completely honest, I do not really worry about what I am putting into my body. I eat whatever I feel like. When needed I listen to my body and give it what it needs. If I have been eating unhealthy for a while, I will make an effort to switch things up and eat healthier, because my body will tell me that by feeling gross and tired. But I do not kill myself by trying every different diet on the planet or starve myself to get skinnier or lose weight.
I do whatever I need to do to stay healthy. I take care of myself, especially when I need it the most. I know what my body needs. If I have been pushing it too hard, my body will tell me to slow down by starting to shut down. The faster I listen to my body and give it what it needs, the faster I will get better and feel better about my body.
I am not trying to impress anyone with my body. I feel comfortable in my own skin. I do not wear cute clothes, or work out and tone my body for anyone else but myself. I dress for myself, wear makeup for myself and workout for myself because it makes me happy and makes me feel good about myself. I do not dress to impress anyone. I dress how I want because I like it. I wear makeup because I like it. I do not do it to try to impress others.
Everyone should feel more confident in their own skin, no matter what type of body you have or what you look like. Do not try to change yourself for other people. If you like the way you look, then that is all that matters.
