3 Cosmo Cover Girls who need reality checks! And what you can learn from them.

I love reading Cosmopolitan magazine. There are lots of fun articles. “Orgasms Unlimited,” anyone??

BUT, there is one tiny section that irks me every month.

It’s actually just one question on the Cosmo Quiz that is given to each and every cover girl.

That question is this:

I think my body:

a. is just right

b. may not be perfect, but it’s mine

c. could stand to lose/gain a few pounds

They always choose B!

This question is there to show readers that even beautiful stars have insecurities about their bodies just like we do…as if that’s a good thing!

A good thing would be if these beautiful stars would recognize and celebrate their beauty, showing us an example of someone saying “yeah, I look great, and it’s wonderful!”

In recent months,

  1. Beyonce
  2. Rihanna
  3. Katherine Heigl

have all said that their body may not be perfect, but it’s real.

Now, I think Beyonce must be the ONLY person on Earth who thinks that her body isn’t perfect. What the hell is not perfect about her body?

If these incredibly gorgeous women think their bodies are flawed, what hope do we mortals have in feeling confident in our looks? LOTS.

Because all we have to do is choose to believe that our bodies are perfect. Choose to believe that your body is just right. Now, it’s just right. Not after you lose five pounds. Right now.

Think about this: if you don’t believe your body is perfect now, you won’t believe it when you lose five pounds.

Now say it.

I’ll go first. My body IS just right. My body IS perfect…and it’s mine!

Your turn!
