The next time you are feeling bad about yourself and the way your body looks, remember this:
A lot of skinny girls wish they had curves
A lot of lean guys long for a more filled-out look.
A lot of people with “hot bodies” often wonder if anyone would like them if their bodies weren’t so “hot.”
This reminds me of a quote from the movie Sparkle starring Irene Cara and Philip Michael Thomas.
The daughter tells her mom she is leaving home because she has too many problems there.
Mama says “Any problems you have here are going with you in that suitcase.”
It’s the same with your body image. You can transform your body, but if you don’t feel good about yourself now, you probably won’t feel good about yourself later.
So learn to love your body right now. Start by giving yourself a big hug!
