With the New Year, comes resolutions; whether that's to lose weight or get your dream job, but some women's resolutions are to be beautiful. Women see other women and think, "Wow, she's beautiful. I wish I could look like her," too often. Being a girl is hard at times. Everyone has their ideal beauty in mind when it comes to women. Some say, "her butt is too big," or, "her thighs jiggle when she runs." I hear it and while it does bother me for a split second, I remember that I don't care what other people think about my body. Yeah, there are times when I look in the mirror and think that I could lose a few pounds and tone up. Don't we all? But there are other times that I look in the mirror and tell myself that I am beautiful.

Beauty is conceived differently by everyone. Beauty isn't defined by one single look. It's defined by several looks. For me, I think beauty comes from the inside, not the outside. A girl who is confident in her own skin and who doesn't care if she's too tall or a little heavier than other is perceived to have beauty by those around her. The more comfortable you are in your own body, the more you will see how beautiful you really are.

I know some girls think that because someone told them that they were too fat, too skinny, or that they weren't pretty enough, they think that in order to be told that they are beautiful they have to change their body to please other people. Sometimes it's harder for other girls to be confident with their bodies than other girls, and I understand that. I see girls who struggle with their confidence, especially younger girls. You just have to remind them that no matter what anyone says about them, they are beautiful inside and out.

I'm not saying that if you're not happy in your body and you want to change that that would be bad thing. If you want to lose weight and get swole, then go for it! You own your body and if you want to change it to feel more comfortable in your own skin, then girl, you do it.

There is a video (which is at the end of the article) that shows what the ideal body type is for women throughout history. It's an interesting video showing us that the ideal beauty has changed dramatically over the years. And while there is still this picture perfect body in mind in this day and age, there are still different kinds of beauty. People think that while a girl may not have that big chest or big butt figure that she is still beautiful. What I am getting to is that no matter what size or shape you are or whatever the color of skin is, you are all beautiful.
