You guys are probably wondering, why does she sound so aggressive? Who eats fast food anymore? Who even cares what you eat? Well, unfortunately, we live in a society that has unofficial standards. And by "unofficial," I mean that some group of miserable people decided that we as girls should act and look a certain way in order to be seen as attractive in men's eyes.
I know what you're thinking; "Is she some feminist trying to rant about her body? I bet you no guy even dumped her because she was eating a cheeseburger."
You're right, no guy dumped me for eating one. I wish a man would. And no, I'm not a "feminist," but I'm all for girl power though. However, that's not the point. My point is that there shouldn't be a rule or a standard saying what women can and cannot do if they want a man to find her attractive. The cheeseburger was just a little metaphor I suppose.
I am just sick and tired of all of the men (and sometimes women) in my life telling me that I shouldn't do XYZ or I wouldn't be considered as an attractive woman in my eyes. I am definitely not skinny. I am okay with that. But my personality is fire though. Someone is going to be lucky. I could go to the gym. Do I want to? Hell no! Do I have to sometimes? Yes, because it is sometimes therapeutic and it makes me feel good. Not to mention, the gym at my school is part of my tuition. I personally have been in situations where I lost weight and gained a lot of weight. It feels good to lose weight and be skinny, but it also feels good to still eat and do whatever I want because that makes me happy.
I could also eat healthy too. I do (surprise) but I know damn well that I won't live my life trying to look skinny and eat lettuce for the rest of my life. I learned to eat things in moderation because it's important to be healthy too.
Even with looks too. I've had people tell me that they like my hair longer than with short hair. Okay? So? If you can't accept my short hair then you definitely don't deserve me with long hair. Do you guys see what I'm trying to point out?
Ladies, there are plenty of men (and women) out there who would love you for the way you look and act. Would you want to be with an attractive looking person for a half-century but they have a nasty personality and always put you down? Of course not! My point is that you shouldn't put down that cheeseburger or Twinkie to impress that person because 90% of the time, they aren't worth it. If you want to lose weight to feel like you are at your best then go ahead! Do what makes you feel your best. But don't just change what you do now just because someone doesn't like it.
Also, think about this. That guy you had a huge crush on in middle school...I bet he's kind of gross-looking now right? Not to mention, you're probably wondering why you had such bad taste back in 2009. You're probably laughing right now because you probably tried everything in the book to impress that person.
I don't know about you guys, but there is no way I'm cutting out Chipotle for some kale-tofu-vegan-gluten-free salad. I would be pissed if I was on my death bed and I could have had more opportunities to eat whatever I wanted (but instead, I didn't because I was too busy worrying about what others thought about me).
So like that metaphor, there is NO way I'm dropping a cheeseburger to live up to someone's standards.
