Day 16

Your opinion of your body and how comfortable you are with it

Well, first I think this is a pretty personal question and I don't know how I feel about it. But, I am going to complete the challenge so here it goes...

My body... I think everyone has their insecurities. And I do. I don't really talk about it because really I've been lucky. And I don't want to offend anyone. But I've never really felt like I was over weight or anything. But that doesn't mean I don't have my insecurities. 

I have my lumps and bumps, things that jiggle. Things I wish no one would see or things I wish people could see. Things I wish I was never born with or things I really want to change.

But then, I still eat whatever I want. And by no means is any of it healthy. I really don't exercise. I've attempted for about 2 weeks total in my whole life to really work out and get in shape.

I am by no means in shape. It's really pathetic really. 

But because I've never really felt like I was overweight, I've never had the motivation to work out and get in shape. I wish I was toned and muscley and whatever. But I literally have no motivation to make the effort to do so. 

But as a girl and as a teenager, we compare. We compare to every girl we see. At least I think we all do. I see the girls in the magazines that are edited and whatever to look flawless. But you know what I think? Even  knowing they are photoshoped? "Wow they are flawless" 

And we don't just compare jean size, we compare our hair, eyes, nose, fingernails, skin, everything! Even things we could only change with surgery. 

I think it's pretty hard to be a girl. We have to stay classy but still attractive. Then being an LDS girl means we have to stay modest, clean and really almost the opposite of what the media shows what an attractive girl is. It's hard But in the end it will be worth it. And luckily there are boys out there that see behind all the craziness and realize we aren't all flawless. We love those boys.

Overall, I guess I'm pretty comfortable with my body. At least as comfortable as a teenage girl can be.
