Compromise

Hello world :)
How have you been the passed couple of weeks? All good I hope :D I know I know,  I've missed a couple of weeks but I'm here now! Hehe, I figured a good comeback would be talking about compromise.

Most of us are probably familiar with this word because even though we hate to admit it, we compromise alot. We convince ourselves that we'll only do it one time and from then on it turns out to be a habit. Compromise is basically settling, when you compromise, you settle or agree to something you don't want to do. Now, what does this have to do with beauty?

Being beautiful should always start from the inside and flow through to the outside. How you feel on the inside is a major contribution towards how your outward appearance will be portrayed.  

Beauty is all about accepting who you are and all that you are. That means flaws and all. Lately, there is this trend that has been going around which i'm not really feeling. Weight loss. There are a lot of people that i used to know back in the day that have lost so much weight its unbelievable. Girls are dropping dress sizes like its nothing. They look great and all but some are just so small its scary. Celebrities are obviously on this train too. I almost got on it as well, but that was until i realized i wouldn't be doing it for the right reasons.  I'd be doing it because everyone else is doing it. Compromising to the standards currently being set. Don't get me wrong, their is a lot of good in losing weight, you become healthy and all those good things. But what i'd hate for you to do, is fall into the trap of doing something that you didn't want to do but did anyway. Don't lose weight just because the rest of the world is doing it. You don't have to, you have a choice, do it if you know it will make you happy and more confident. Because if you decide to drop to a size 2, you will be the one looking at you in the mirror everyday.

I used to be smaller than i am right now. Everyone thought i was just the right size, i didn't think so. I didn't feel comfortable in that size, the strange thing was, i didn't really like my body. I knew the clothes that fit me wear a medium or large but my mind couldn't settle with those sizes. But after i gained a few pounds, i finally accepted my body. Most of the people thought i had become fat, and they stay think i am fat but that's them. I don't see myself as fat, i see myself as just the right size. I like me more now that i did back then. I've accepted that i'm a plus size. I'm not saying don't work out or eat and blow up, i'm saying if you think losing weight will make you love yourself, then do it! I've set a weight that i don't want to cross over and every time i see myself going out of control, i check my eating habits and cut down till i'm in the range i want. Its all up to you and how you want to feel about yourself. Stand your ground, you will not be swayed. Don't compromise. 

Love your body, love yourself. 

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL
