Keeping A Realistic Perception:

Ronda Rousey sets a good example body-wise. Keep in mind, if you are female (or male), that you cannot have her body. You are not her.

Everyone has their own frame and their own build. You should be staying within your own BMI (Body Mass Index) and not judging your fitness just by your weight. Being underweight or overweight is dependent on your BMI, and quite frankly; acting catty because someone is overweight (And much more recently, surprisingly, and aggressively abuse has occurred to the latter) or being underweight is wrong. Half the time they’re not even underweight or overweight, you just say they are because they don’t have Scarlette Johnasson’s body or whatever.

Keep this in mind (for the majority): you are never going to be a catwalk model. Those people do exist, regardless of what you get told. It’s not all smoke, mirrors, and Photoshop. There are tall and beautiful women and that is why they get chosen to model clothes on a catwalk. Some of them do eat too little and smoke so that they can do it. It’s not the best route, but again: it’s their body and they shouldn’t be subject to torment because of how they choose to live. It’s the same kind of persecution that has bred hatred between people because of their skin colour or sexual orientation. Others, however, just have the build and look for it naturally. They can’t help the way they look. No one has a means to modify their genetics before they’re born. They embraced it, just get over it.

To be honest; you shouldn’t care either. Are you so desperate that you need to be the apex female in terms of aesthetic? There are so many women out there, some look different and some look similar. No man (or woman) is attracted to just one type of female. There are people that aren’t attracted to women like Megan Fox, who has been rated the sexiest female alive multiple times.

Abuse:

Hurling abuse at someone isn’t the way to help them better their bodies. In fact; it is none of your business to tell them what to do with their body. It is theirs, to treat as they wish. 

“Real women have curves” - potential bullshit right there. So you’re saying women who don’t have the build or access to curves aren’t women? Not only that but all too often being overweight is now being defined as having curves. Being overweight supplies some very serious health risks. As does being underweight. If you’re overweight you’re not “cuddly”, yes some people find it attractive; but you’re still not cuddly. Additional, dangerous layers of fat aren’t “cuddly”. Bottom line, end of.

Common Health Risks In Obesity: 

• Type 2 diabetes 
• Heart disease
• Breast and Colon Cancer (And other forms)
• Strokes

Common Health Risks In Being Underweight:

• Osteoporosis (Fragile Bone Disease)
• Anemia (Lack of red blood cells, causing tiredness)
• Low immune system which opens you up to illness.
• (Women) - Interrupted periods, potentially causing a lack of fertility and difficulty in becoming pregnant.

Don’t like it? Don’t do it:

I’m not saying you have to keep your body healthy. It is just obviously the most wise and sensible option and path to take. Treating your body like a temple is more beneficial than treating it like a waste disposal unit. At the end of the day, it is your choice. But just don’t get bitchy about other people, men or women, because you think they look better than you. Maybe it’s in your head, but maybe it’s not.

There are people that will dislike you because of how you look and there will be those who are attracted to you because of how you look. Honestly though? I think you should be keeping your body healthy because it makes you more confident as a person, more outgoing and energetic, and makes you feel better – it’s sort of like taking in an extra dosage of Vitamin D when you are able to maintain a healthy body. 

For those overweight:

Pretty soon I’m going to release a free diet post on this Tumblr, and I will link it in this post too. 

Keep in mind that pretty much anyone can subscribe to this diet, but you’ll want to consult a doctor if you are unsure about anything that stands out to you before doing it first. And if he doesn’t think my idea of a good diet is sensible then maybe you’re best off following his advice.
