Body positivity is just the act of how one thought about his or her body, either by shape, size, or nature. That's my little definition. Most people do see themselves as too fit to adapt to the surroundings. White some always feel ashamed of themselves, most especially when they go out to mingle with their mates. Some say their body shape is the best, but that's to them and not the outside world.
What I have come to understand is that, we just have to accept what we are. The reason is just not far-fetched. We are not our creators and cannot abuse our nature. Everyone is unique and special.
A lady who knew so well happened to be fat. When I say fat, not just the normal fatness, but the extra one. She decided to buy lime juice and started taking it twice a day. To her, she wanted to lose weight. To her surprise, the more she takes it, the more her weight becomes. She started reducing her intake of food. This alone made her starve, but then was still not reduced. It strongly suggested that it's just her nature and was created to be so. If people are rejecting her just because of her shape, at least someone would like her with what she has.
Since we are created unique, we must accept what we are, no matter the situation.
I could remember some time ago, I observed myself to be too far. I asked my husband to tell me the truth about my shape. “Did you like the way I'm getting fatter?” The truth was that, I hate myself for that shape I was growing to become. My husband had to reply to me from his heart, “I love you the way you are. Even if you are too large, I will love you because that's the kind of shape I love in a woman”. I had some smiles into my face, but then I asked him again, “when you came to marry me, I was not like this, and you took me as your wife. Why was it so? And how come you develop a fast likeness for fat women?” My mind was not settled until he gave me the answer I was looking for. He did not wait a minute before giving me what I was waiting to hear, “I knew you were going to take this present shape of yours”.
It's just too much for me after hearing his answer.
To be sincere, take time to ponder on it. Don't let your body size or shape bring your present state into something that you cannot or do not or were not expecting.
We are all God's creatures, and should always live to like who we are. I'm good the way I'm and also great according to my husband. When you think about your shape, you may get sick. This is why we must make it possible to be positive about our body size.
My husband is so happy with the shape he's having. He said his slim shape is the best shape ever and would maintain that shape. His younger brother is always considered his elder brother just because of his body size. Even with that, he's just too comfortable with who he is.
Be proud of who you are and don't let anyone deceive you to reduce and increase your body shape.
