Ultra Skinny Isn't Sexy Anymore
As I was doing my routine Googleing of my own name (yes, I admittedly Google search myself), a particular "scene queen" Internet personality who usually pops up in a relevant search (whose name I wont mention), revealed her weight of an unhealthy 86 pounds.
What strikes me even more is the fact that so many young girls swoon over her image and claim her as an "idol" when she previously posted harsh remarks about the "ugliness of anorexia."
Anorexia is a disease; slender is a body type.
Please learn the difference and stop striving for the wrong one.
I speak for a widely shared opinion when I say "skinny chicks just arent hot anymore."
I cant even watch Americas Next Top Model with any of my guy friends without them screaming, "Eww, gross!" at the television (and those girls arent even skinny skinny). And Ive asked a numerous amount of guys which physic they prefer:
this
or this
They all will agree that the preferred girl requires a sturdy body, durability, and "more to love."
I will proudly admit that I weigh an average of 123 lbs on my good days. Though I have been called "fat" several times in the duration of being an "Internet Icon" (quote unquote; please dont take that term seriously), I take full pride in the status of my bodys physical appearance.

Im happy with my weight, Im happy with my "pot belly" (thank you Fabienne from Pulp Fiction for making men realized that tummies are sexy), and my fella is notably happier than I am with the size of my thighs and stomach.
Its unfortunate that we have celebrities and people in the public and online eye that represent a false statistic.
You want to be sexy?
Be confident in who you are.

ps. Id just like to note before Im attacked on it: I am not saying that if you are skinny, you are unattractive. There are different body types and not everyone can control being "skinner than average." Being uncontrollably skinny is mocked just as much as being uncontrollably larger. But please stop striving to be something that your body wont just because some brat bragged about being the same size as one of my legs.Thank you.

Kim Kardashian is gorgeous and has a butt haha. I'm so glad Hollywood is finally getting over the Kate Moss look.
i think she is completely gorgeous and i know that she's got quite a little bit of chub on her tummy, i love it.
you are completely right about everything you say, im seeing more and more girls and women everyday that are closer to my size and yet are still being portrayed as 'attractive' and thats really helped me alot with coming to terms with my rather large body type and finally realizing that i can be pretty and appealing too :)
i love you for every part of this.
couldnt be stated any better
Hahahahaaaa.
That's great. Oh man.
I love everything you write. It's all so full of wisdom, and it helps me out all the time.
It seems like all the different topics you post are the right topics at the right times in my life.
You keep me on track, Corinne.
Thanks. :]
But yes, I'm glad you said it, especially here where people really need it. It'd be cool if this entry got featured...
And concerning your anonymous internet icon *coughkikikannibalcough*, she's a twig AND a bitch: two things that are NEVER in style. :D
