After a break up there is a lot of repairing to do. When I say "a lot"...I mean A LOT. It's taken me some time now to start loving me. ALL OF ME. Cellulite and all. I can now FULLY say, I am okay with myself enough to stand in front of the mirror naked and not feel so low.
So, where is this entry headed? Well, I will tell you...My whole life I have been the bigger friend. All my friends are skinny-minnies. And to be honest, I don't have many friends. I got One best friend Named Sher and One best friend named Jonathan and about 6 REALLY REALLY REALLY CLOSE friends (Thats all I need to be honest)Well, the rest lets call them acquaintances, so I am surrounded by thin women ALL DAY. However, it wasn't up until 2 years ago I have LOVED my curves., Wasn't up until this last break-up when I was put back on the market...
Anyways, back to friends....
I go to the gym...I eat healthy (or try to lol) and I use PORTION CONTROL every time. I know I am a healthy Latina. I know I am a healthy woman. So here I am, at a point where I can say, "I'm okay" with myself naked. And I realize that people who I thought would be supportive, aren't. These are other women who are bigger than me. Which is weird. Then I heard it, "I can't like you no more, your gonna be skinny!" and it was then I realized, true colors are coming out. The Jealousy. I don't plan to be thin. Let's make this clear. I will settle for a size 12 and that my friends, is all I ask...is to be a size 12! But come on...you can't be around me? Just because I am choosing to live a healthier life? You got to be kidding me.
But then I have people who are losing weight and feel the need to compete with me. When did this become a competition. Since when did losing weight become a competition?
It seriously frustrates me when others are concerned with MY weight loss. MY life. The way I see it is, "You stick to your side of the street and I will stick to mine! If we can respect that, then it's all good in the hood!"
Any who, Did you see the Vogue Italia?
