DO YOU WANT TO BE A WHALE OR A MERMAID?

A while back, at the entrance of a gym, there was a picture of a very thin and beautiful woman. The caption was “This summer, do you want to be a mermaid or a whale?” The story goes, a woman (of clothing size unknown) answered the following way: “Dear people, whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, seals, curious humans), they are sexually active and raise their children with great tenderness. They entertain like crazy with dolphins and eat lots of prawns. They swim all day and travel to fantastic places like Patagonia, the Barents Sea or the coral reefs of Polynesia. They sing incredibly well and sometimes they are even recorded on CDs. They are impressive and dearly loved animals that everyone defends and admires. Mermaids do not exist. But if they did exist, Mermaids would line up to see a psychologist because of a problem of split personality: Am I woman or am I fish? They would have no sex life and could not bear children. Yes, they would be lovely but they'd also be lonely and sad. And, who wants a girl that smells like fish by his side? Without a doubt, I’d rather be a whale. At a time when the media tells us that only thin is beautiful, I prefer to eat ice cream with my kids, to have dinner with my husband, to eat and drink and have fun with my friends. We women, we gain weight because we accumulate so much wisdom and knowledge that there isn’t enough space in our heads, and it spreads all over our bodies. We are not fat, we are greatly cultivated. Every time I see my curves in the mirror, I tell myself: 'How amazing am I ?!' " End Quote.



I believe this is a tough issue for most of us. The thing is.....it shouldn't be! Rememer that you are Beautiful and Unique and Smart and Talented. We all need to reconize our true worth and stop stressing over how much we weigh. I can tell you that one thing is for sure, you're NEVER EVER going to be too "big" to be loved, and you're never too much for this world. Don't let those insecurities hold you back from anything in this life. Because it's all yours! The sky is the limit! It's yours for the taking, it's up to you to take it.

You ARE loved. You ARE smart. You ARE special.

But you don't me to tell you that ;)
