No need to starve ourselves?
By Kgomotso Mpendulo
We were taught that we should always be ourselves and love ourselves
We are unique ad fine
We are balanced and perfect
We are chubby and adorable.
We don’t necessarily live to eat but food is a necessity for our survival, right?
Yes, junk food has never been good for anyone, but we still have and enjoy it!
We know that too much of anything is bad, but we still indulge hey?
“Euuuuw! She’s Fat”, people say, as if being skinny is beauty
So, what about inner beauty?
My take is, it all starts from within……what’s on the inside, will always reflect on the outside!
We are Beautiful!
Our dress sizes are not always in stock, but its okay
‘Skinny is Pretty’, we not sure
We can’t all be a size 28, so let’s not starve ourselves,
Let’s accept that we are different
Let’s accept ourselves
We could be Big,
Big is not fat
Big is Big and big is Beautiful!!!!
