Being healthy is beautiful

By Shelly Hannah


It boggles my mind how modeling started of and became a giant business. I mean here we human beings judging other human beings on how they are suppose to look like as human beings? Is it just me or does that sound extremely disturbing. Yes beauty is everywhere in nature and we should celebrate it in all shapes and form but are we all suppose to look the same way?

The perfect human being is a healthy individual physically and mentally. Not someone who has to go on a diet and eat nothing but liquid just so they can stay in so called 'shape'. I think one thing we should take our focus on is women and their weight issues. Women are beautiful and if someone is a little bigger or smaller than the other, that is what makes them unique.

I want girls to realize that you are beautiful just the way you are and their is nothing amazing about being skinny or anorexic. I saw this girl the other day and it broke my heart because she had such a pretty face but her bones were thin as a stick. She was suffering from total anorexia and I've seen her several times now in downtown where I live. It was a truly unfortunate situation I must say.

As women, you need to start taking control of what is going on in your life. You can start by eating a healthy diet. No matter how you look right now or how that model in that degrading magazine does, you get on a good eating plan. Let me make it easier for you, much much much easier, simply start drinking plenty of water. Within a week you'll see that you are not only dropping pounds but looking great too.

If it's not healthy it's not worth doing that is the rule of thumb that I live by. Don't let others dictate what you should be doing or not doing. Your body is a gift and take care of it. It will make you do anything you want just make sure it's functional and working properly. Fuel your body the right way and it will all be fine. So be happy, be alive and eat right. You are a very unique and beautiful individual and deserve the very best.
