Are you afraid to show your flab?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"Me<\/a>

Me with my arms out in public..well, I am in a cave…<\/p><\/div>\n

I have been thinking about this for awhile now. I had lunch recently with a few friends and it was a very hot day. I mean extremely hot and also humid. I couldn’t decide what to wear to go to lunch. I usually wear a sweater of some sort to cover my flabby\u00a0upper arms. But instead, I decided to wear a short sleeve top…the one I have on in this photo above. Yes, I chose this picture and yes,\u00a0it\u00a0is dark, you don’t need to see the ugly details. But this made me think, do we really worry so much about body image that it forces\u00a0us to wear something we\u00a0feel uncomfortable in?<\/p>\n

We of a certain age, are not young anymore but that doesn’t mean we still can’t be fashionable and also comfortable at the same time. Every time I wear this top I get compliments. Not sure if the compliments are for me or the top? But it feels good to wear it and not be sweating and uncomfortable.The first time I wore it at lunch with my friends they all commented on it and it started a conversation about how all of us were trying to hide those body parts that just weren’t\u00a0how we wanted them to be anymore. I was happy I wore the top to lunch. And also I was happy about how freeing it was to do so.<\/p>\n

What does this say about us? Has the fashion world made us all into someone who is so afraid of showing a little flab that we drive\u00a0ourselves crazy and deny who and what we really look like? I was always in shape, I ran, I exercised and ate somewhat healthy. I wanted to be what I thought I was “supposed” to look like. I really don’t think that this was the case in our parents and grandparents day. They were all different sizes and shapes and I don’t remember anyone ever making a comment on how they looked. I also don’t remember any of them saying, “oh, I hate my arms” or “look at this muffin top I have.”<\/p>\n

“If\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>tomorrow, women woke up and decided they really liked their bodies, just think how many\u00a0industries would go out of business.” ~ Dr Gail Dines<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I think the younger generation is even more aware of their body image than we are. Kids in elementary school are asking each other if they are fat. What does this say about our priorities? How do we go about changing this and can we? Yes, we need to be healthy and I am not saying we should just all be what we are and not work towards being a better version of ourselves, but it shouldn’t be to the extreme. And there shouldn’t be shame if that doesn’t happen. We don’t need to be made to feel bad about how we look. We have enough other things in our lives that make us feel bad, we shouldn’t have to deal with that too.<\/p>\n

I have recently seen celebrities and athletes being shamed on social media for adding a few pounds or posts stating\u00a0they must be pregnant because they have a little bit of a stomach. Looking at the pictures makes me angry, because these pics are not at all of someone who looks pregnant, it is someone who is healthy and not a skeleton. I hope we can get to a point where we stop shaming each\u00a0other and learn to embrace our bodies, flaws and all. I hope we can\u00a0help the younger generation see it is ok to not be a size 0.<\/p>\n

We don’t have much time here on this planet so we all need to try to be as healthy and happy as we can and enjoy our lives. Most of all we don’t need to spend our time worrying about whether of not to wear something we love or if it shows\u00a0a little\u00a0flab. \u00a0I recently read an article that said, “you will never look like the girl in the magazine, the girl in the magazine doesn’t look like the girl in the magazine.” Embrace your flab and enJoy your life. Let’s let it all hang out! Well maybe not all of it…<\/p>\n

“I love my body. I’m very much ok with it. I\u00a0don’t think artists are ever the ones who have the problem with their weight, it is\u00a0the other people.” ~ Kelly Clarkson<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

My question for you today is this, do you hesitate to wear something if it shows some flab or shows a little bit more tummy than you want to show? Please comment below and let me know your thoughts…<\/p>\n

And thanks for your support!<\/p>\n
