I just gotta say…
HAHA! I love that video. I love it because it is true. I love big butts…mine in particular though because I actually have one now. I officially have a badonkadonk. ;o)
I have to admit, I don’t really understand the obsession to be uber thin and super skinny. I have never found the gaunt waif look that the media portrays and shoves down our throats to be very attractive. It is really no different and just as unhealthy as being overweight, except that it is oddly more socially acceptable. And even though I have always been naturally thin my whole life, I do prefer shapeliness. You know, someone you can look at and say, “Yeah, she eats meat”. And oddly enough, despite the thought that all guys prefer thin women…not true. I actually get looked at and asked out more now that I have put on a few pounds. Go figure.
The media certainly doesn’t help with their idyllic portrayal of the human body though. Their displays of photoshopped pictures of celebrities sets unrealistic expectations of women (and men), sends a distorted message to our subconscious, and creates unhealthy behaviours and an obsession with dieting. People are trying to live up to such high standards that are not even humanly possible.
You know what I think is sexy? Curves. I prefer shape over stick thin. Always have, always will. So when I gained weight recently, and gained a badonkadonk, I was actually ecstatic. People started complimenting me on how good I looked, and the only thing different is that I now have drumsticks instead of chicken wings. I even told my trainer to make sure that I get to keep my booty. HA! Sounds crazy I know, but I am not your stereotypical woman either. I figure if I look and feel healthy, then I am on the right track. What do you think?
