There is no perfect size

So many people, specifically girls today, think that to be healthy and skinny that you have to be a size 0, which is ridiculous. I found this picture because Marylin Monroe was not a size zero or anything close to it and yet she was breath taking and an icon to women around the world. So many people today think that being healthy requires you to be stick skinny and want it to be cleared up. Being healthy just means that you are comfortable with the body you have and you are taking care of it. YOU should feel good. That's all that should really matter. Marylin was beautiful and to this day is still talked about for her majestic beauty and again, she was not stick thin. So I hope that ladies and gentleman can see that you don't have to have washboard abs and eight packs to be "in shape" or healthy. If you eat right and exercise and YOU feel good with your body, then there is really nothing more beautiful than that.

  1. Amen! Pictures of Marilyn Monroe are all over on Pinterest, because she's gorgeous! She's curvy and proud of her body. Like you said, she's a huge icon for women, but too many women still don't see the beauty in it. The media has shown society that seeing bones beneath the skin is more beautiful than soft, toned skin. Women are meant to look like the picture! It's so we can have babies and stuff like that. And I totally agree. If you're eating right and exercising in a way that works for you, then that's beautiful.

  2. Great! I really love this article,especially the sentence "Being healthy just means that you are comfortable with the body you have and you are taking care of it. YOU should feel good." Maybe in one thousand people's views, there are one thousand kinds of standards for the concept " beautiful". What I learn from here is that one person should be oneself and feel good with himself instead of comparing him or her with others' images. If you body can help you work more efficiently and let you generate a confident feeling in your mind everyday,that can be "perfect" .
