Feelings on Society!

I am sat here watching a programme called 'Hollywood Me". They makeover the owner of the house to resemble a hollywood star, and then makeover their home. It got me thinking about a few things within our society!

Why does it make me so sad and upset that society has such a bad influence on the way we look? Not only with women but with men and children as well!

Society makes me feel like I am not accepted by everyone, as I am heavily overweight! I feel like people judge me, before they get to know me, because I'm overweight. I feel like some people don't think I am a pretty,  because I carry a few extra stone. Society makes me feel like a unworthy person when I go without make up, don't do my hair nicely, don't wear 'acceptable' clothes, and wear my glasses. Society makes me feel like I am not able to wear 'certain' clothes, as I am fatty!

Going to the local shops is just the same - you're faced with hundreds of magazines with women scantily dressed, looking nice and slim, or magazines saying "lose 1 stone in 4 weeks" and I wonder why I struggle to accept myself as I am?!

In society why is it made acceptable for slim women to wear bikinis but not overweight women?!

I guess this post is me asking myself " How do I start to love me, with all this influence around me?"

This is something I am going to have to work on, I can do this :-)



Why is this acceptable?                                                                          And this isn't?
