STRONG IS NOT THE NEW SKINNY....... STRONG IS THE RESULT OF REGULARLY WORKING OUT
One definition of strong is, “having the power to move heavy weights or perform other physically demanding tasks.” It describes a physical ability.
One definition skinny is, “unattractively thin,” which is at odds with the Urban Dictionary definition of “something a lot of girls want to be, otherwise known as perfection.” Either way, skinny is used to describe a body composition or aesthetics, not that body’s physical abilities.
Appreciating physical feats of strength rather than purely aesthetics is such a healthy, and long overdue, approach. Maybe now we can appreciate the capabilities of our bodies and start to love what is right about ourselves rather than what is wrong.
While many who are overweight long to be skinny, many who are underweight long to be larger. Let's strive to be strong and healthy and live happily together.
Embracing ourselves for being thoughtful and caring enough to put aside time to be healthy and strong is a great way to get back to loving number one. Not measuring more than the commitment of putting time aside for our health, we can and will grow strong... inside and out... and that is beautiful in any shape or size!
