The Idyllic Body Image
Hey Guys!
Over the past few weeks I have been researching/looking into body image and what people consider to be ideological. I found that when you put a group of women together, 9/10 people aren't happy with themselves. They can quite easily, without even giving it a second thought, write down a whole list on the things that they would change. Although it may not be on our minds 24/7 it most definitely is in the back. Why do we not look like the women on front cover magazines? Why wasn't I blessed with her legs? Isn't her hair to die for? The list is endless, but I think I could speak for most women when I say that I question myself on a daily basis.
One group (or family in this case) that screams out to me is The Kardashians. I am 100% guilty of following their every move on social media and questioning why I wasn't born one of them (oops..) I do try to remind myself that I wasn't born a millionaire and can't afford a PT everyday, never mind the endless luxury treatments that they must indulge in...I wouldn't be complaining though. The Kardashians as well as the likes of Amber Rose and J.Lo are all seen as 'thick' girls resulting in a new craze in America. Size 0 is OUT, thick girls are in. I personally love this, I mean they still have amazing bikini bodies but you don't need to starve yourself to get there, real women have cuuuurves girl! Lets get real, nobodies perfect, even the celebrities previously mentioned have their demons, do what makes you happy.
