We as citizens of the world have risen to eating more and more while putting on enough weight to want to fight it off. Well, this may seem ludicrous, but women of the 15th century, 16th century, and a gazillion other centuries looked beautiful just at their 150 pound to 200 pound weights! Catch any da Vinci portrait painting from the Renaissance era, and you’ll see what I mean: No size 2 Mona Lisa!
So why do we, in this day and age, carry this obsession with morbid thinness? I don’t know, except that it partially has to do with the scare of diabetes, high cholesterol or heart attacks related to obesity. But come on now! Get real! Too many women and men are exercising just for the sake of vanity–not health reasons.
Make your choice. I can tell you, I look better a wee bit healthier as a thick pencil rather than a measly, barely-noticeable toothpick. You probably would look healthier a bit plump, too. So consider, would you rather savor the delectable piece of cheesecake or deny yourself over and over again to the point of sheer thinness-exhaustion? Until you hate depriving yourself? Until you hate the fact that you must deny yourself constantly to be thin?
What does thinness mean, anyway?
