A way to look Slim

One of my acquaintances recently came to me quite flustered. Asking what was bothering her, she told me that she is 'fat'. I looked at her, she was neither overweight or flabby. Upon telling her that she pointed to her belly and told me to notice the layers of  fat belt bulging through her V-neck cotton top.  She had gone to the mall with her friend, tried a dress she liked and it didn't quite fit through her shoulders. Her friend told she should try XL. And that's what troubled her. I sighed and realized that she is going through that which many women regularly suffer from, and some men too. 

It is low self esteem.

Most women want to have the most slender, curvy body. Beauty magazines sell. Men trend towards metro-sexuality. It is not wrong, but you are dearly missing a point here.

You ALREADY have innate ability to be what YOU want to be. You already have the perfect body and a beautiful nose. It means you can look as good as Angelina Jolie but you don’t have to be her. You stay YOU.

Feel comfortable with your body first of all.

However you are right now you must feel good in your body. Feel comfortable with everything that is there, even if you don’t want it. You may not like that bulge in your belly and your thighs. You may not like how your teeth look. You may not have the right height. Or maybe you are suffering from some kind of sickness and disease which is holding you back. Whatever it may be, remember it’s YOU. You are the one who is the master of your body and not otherwise. 

Your face and body is unique and your features are especially suited for you. The  beautiful eyes of the supermodel may not look good on your face. Because you are meant to look most gorgeous in your own skin. Focus on your inner self and discover your true beauty.

Absolutely, fully, completely love yourself . After that it doesn't take long for the world to fall in love with you.

So relax. A wise man once said , "Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth." 

I told my acquaintance to relax and breathe deep. We talked. She had big, beautiful shoulders. I told her that.  This changed her perception about her body and made her her feel good. The next day she went shopping and bought a dress which beautifully flaunted her big wide shoulders.
