Here lately I have been burdened by body image that the media, hollywood and even certain families portray to all... especially girls, women, mothers, daughters, wives. This is no new topic of conversation and certainly not one I am just noticing. But, after a few posts on FB I am broken for women all over our country & world.
The main spark to all of this may possibly be because I haven't be quite the "athlete" here lately and have kind of loved it. All of my life staying active was extremely easy, sometimes tiring. But lately I have got to choose when I am active and when I am not. I definitely advocate for all sorts of activities, from walking while shopping to running marathons but the world is so deceiving on the long-term affects of pushing your body to limits it wasn't created for.
Long rant short, God has created us all to be exactly the way we are. Embrace it, basque in your uniqueness and most importantly don't let this WORLD tell you any different.
Amazed that the creator of the universe would make me to be ME and nobody else!
If you click on the title of this post, I have linked to women's health for a good read. Also, here is a good little outlook from a Christian on body image using a verse in Psalms: Body Image from a Christian perspective
