It is time to make a few things
clear:
- Grass is green (unless it hasn’t been watered).
- Driving is faster than walking (unless your car breaks down).
- No one cares what dress size you are (unless you’re about to be paid half a million pounds to walk in Fashion Week).
Actually – rewind. Grass is green. Driving is faster than walking. But someone does care about what dress size you are. You care about what dress
size you are. This is, of course, completely understandable. I care about what
dress size I am; I base each individual meal based on my BMI at that specific
moment. The point I’m making isn’t to stop caring about your weight – that would
be like asking a giraffe to have a short neck – but instead realise that no one
else cares! If you want to weigh two stone less, five stone more, decrease your
body fat by 80%, become a world-champion female body-builder - do it. Join WWE
for all I care, as long as you feel good greased up wearing a loincloth and
string bikini, that’s all that matters.
At Get You Seen, we spend a lot
of time complaining about our weight while devouring three packets of chocolate
digestives (or plain digestives if we’re being healthy). The fact is we
understand that women in particular find it hard to stick to the weight that
they are most comfortable with. But what is the other option?
I think it is time for everyone to
sit down with themselves and have a harsh reality check – what is more
important, a sixteen-inch pizza or a sixteen-inch thigh circumference? Make
your decision and embrace it; because what’s the worst that could happen? Being
condemned to a life of Spanx and wide-fit thigh-high boots? If that is the
worst of your problems, then you’ve got it pretty good if you ask me.
