Offended

I was doing my usual blog catch up earlier this week, and I came across an unassuming post.

Until a certain line.

It mentioned something derogatory about weight/body types.  It was a completely offhanded comment, and I'm sure that the author in no way meant to be insulting. Now, the line to which I'm referring was something along the lines of how she didn't want anyone to think that "her thighs touched in the middle" because that would mean she was fat and that might be "the worst thing ever".

Whoa. Back up there, because I'm pretty sure that my thighs have touched.  Since birth.

Has anyone ever seen these ads? They're awesome and I would highly recommend checking them out!

Over these past few weeks I've ready soooo many "I want to lose weight for New Years" posts, and I think it's fabulous we're all kicking our butts to be healthy.

However

I know how easy it is to get caught up into wanting to, and doing anything we can, to look like this:

But I think that we all (me included!) need to stop obsessing about weight, at least just for a minute, and remember:

 

Thank you gymnastics and cheerleading legs, I love you in all your muscular, strong, curvy, beautiful, thigh-touching glory.
