I personally think the media is a bunch of bull shit. Every day we are told what is beautiful and what is not. I personally don't buy into this crap. I am smart enough to know that what they are doing is wrong. Anyone who can't see that is just plain naive.
I happen to be an overweight person, not morbidly obese or anything, just thicker. I love my body. I know it sounds weird to say that because most people with weight problems don't feel this way. The media tells us that we shouldn't like our bodies if we are fat. When I look in the mirror, I like what I see. I know that being overweight is bad health-wise and I am trying to lose weight because of that, not because the media tells me to be skinny.
The thing that really gets me, is how many people have judged me based on my weight. For example, I was standing in line at a coffee shop and these girls about high school aged were commenting on my weight. I don't think they realized I could hear them. I was slightly insulted that people can't see that I am a person with feelings just like every body else. Personally, I think anyone who speaks in that manner is uneducated and trashy. Couldn't they find something more productive to talk about?
Anyhow, that's my little rant about weight and the media.
