Embrace your curves

One thing that I have realized during the last couple of years is that being thin tends to be associated with being healthy. This is not always the case. I have seen many young women around me trying to loose weight and become skinny as they don't feel comfortable with the curves they have or believe they are being unhealthy. Little do they know that being healthy AND having curves is actually possible. 

There have been times where I believed I was not always healthy or did not feel comfortable with myself due to the body I have. I am short, have small boobs, a big butt as well as tights. Well, to me this was not the ideal image everybody wanted to see, especially looking at the Victoria Secret role models many young girls look up to.

Luckily, as we are in 2017, curves are being embraced more and more when looking at social media today. For instance, take a look at Khloe Kardashians or supermodel Ashley Graham. These ladies have curves. They have hips, booties, boobs and everything in between. Are these woman unhealthy? Certainly not! They eat healthy and exercise on a regular basis.

The International Journal of Obesity has in a recent study concluded that someones body mass is not actually a reliable indication of their health.

Moral of the story: do not worry too much if you are curvy or not, or even if you are skinnier than you would like! Eat regularly, healthy and make sure to get enough exercise. Embrace the body you have and own it with pride!
