Sick Of The 'Size 2' Craze?

Article by Omel Oconnor

I saw an article in the fashion section on Yahoo critiquing women who do not wear the right clothes for their size and suggesting colors and cuts that hide fat. Even though I write a weight management blog, this just did not sit right with me. Whose business is it if I should let fat and whatever else hang?

I sometimes feel if I was living in Timbuktu and never turned on the TV or went online that I would never feel constantly overwhelmed with all this attention on looking acceptable. While I write about exercising daily as a way of pushing weight concerns to the backburner of your life, I will never support the constant harassment women experience in the media. This focus on the socially acceptable 'size 2' makes everyday fitness and the objectives of eating right, incorrectly associated with appearance instead of being correctly aligned with healthy living and feeling great.

In addition, people forget how fun exercising can be. Children play, dance and have a hell of time being active, why not us? Jumping, prancing, dancing, stretching are all things that should bring out the playful side of our personalities, not make us feel overwhelmed with having to be fit to stay thin and pretty. Think agility and flexibility instead of lethargy and fatigue. Think playfulness and fun, instead of routine and responsibility.

Turn your exercise time into 'me' time. Make it a time to dance, play, and relax. Make sure to choose a fitness program you will enjoy and forget about your fitness goals. Don't forget to turn off the TV and stop reading that beauty magazine. Thin is one size, and it is rarely sexy, confidence is. When you give to yourself you feel better instead of demanding unrealistic results from your body by excessively dieting or being down about weight; change your attitude and live your own life, in your own skin.

1. Make a plan that is based on happiness and self love. If you love dancing, yoga, kickboxing, make sure to choose something you will enjoy. Mix it up. 2. Eat well. Simplify you dieting habits. My diet is based on not eating too much processed foods so I eat beans, nuts, fruits and seeds and forget about it. I never have to think about dieting because I keep it simple. 3. Forget celebrity diets. Look in your cupboard and plan your own strategy. Think long term. 4. Don't sabotage your self image. Limit beauty magazines. Yes you can live your life without them. Expand your life with fun hobbies. Join a dance class or singing group. 5. If your diet and weight loss plan is a good one you should forget about it within 3 weeks. Huh? Yes you read that right. If you set up a good plan and it fits in with your life, it will drift to the backburner of your life, so life is not about food and dieting or exercising. You know your system. Life. Moves. On.
