Ashley Graham Weight Loss

Why can't people just leave her alone?

It appears Ashley Graham can't seem to catch a break. People either criticize her for being too fat, or for being too skinny. When she first started in the plus size modeling business, people said she was too fat and needed to lose weight. Well now that she has lost weight and actually looks better than ever, people are saying she is too skinny. The point is, why should it matter if she's skinny or fat? She is a beautiful plus size model, everything she has done for plus size women is amazing. She is not only giving plus size individuals more confidence but she is changing the way people view plus size women.

Here is Ashley Graham on the cover of Sports Illustrated 2016:

For years nobody ever saw plus size women on covers of magazines. Simply because many people think of models as only being a size 2. People need to realize that not everybody is going to be a size 0 or 2. Now, when you're in line at publix you see plus size models on the front covers of magazines. Although, there will always be individuals who will probably never accept plus size models.

We live in a world where people care more about appearances than the individual person. Ashley Graham along with other plus size models aren't just models, they are actual human beings with feelings. Imagine if that was you on the cover of magazines and people only cared about your size. The point is, why should people be judged and criticized because of the way they look? Imagine if we lived in a world where everybody looked the same, how boring would that be?

Nobody is perfect, everyone has flaws and things that they don't like about themselves. The point being that we should embrace our flaws, and instead of bringing each other down, we should lift each other up.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
