Healthy

Hi Ladies! Thanks for visiting Flaunt Ur Curves!

Today, I want to briefly discuss the difference between being "skinny" and being "healthy."

Society will give you the impression that most overweight people are un-healthy. Do I believe this to be true???...I do! But why????

Fact! Most people who are overweight indulge in foods that are filled with preservatives and calories. They over-eat and rarely if ever exercise. I have learned this to be true! It can be an even worse situation for woman because we are 70% water and hold weight worse than men do. HOWEVER! Some plus size men and women are over-weight due to heredity. I'm one of those people. All of my dad's (dad's) side of the family are all plus size woman, and unfortunately most of them died of diabetes. (In those days, it was about eating what you had and could afford.) Now aday's we have options and there is really no excuse for eating unhealthy.

On the other end...I believe in enjoying life (and food without getting ridiculous with it) but taking care of your body. So can you be a plus size woman and still be in good health? I say yes!!! It's really not about how skinny you are. I can remember being in the workout room in my apartment complex, my apartment manager came down and stayed around to watch me run. She said, "Wow...your really moving out....I know "other" people who can't do that." What she meant was she knows "SKINNY" people who can't run as long as I can...AND I DO TOO!

 I work out on a regular; however, I still indulge in those foods that I love. I don't ever expect to be a skinny woman....I have thick bones like my dad...and would probably look awkward if I was too small; but I do want to live a LONG prosperous life...and I hope you do too.

SO...if you are the type of plus size woman who has problems walking down the stairs, can't run up the steps without feeling like you’re going to pass out, or can't walk through the super-market...I would suggest you put yourself on an exercise and eating plan. We all have to learn how to push the plate away when we're full, go out and take a walk, and eat more bake foods rather than fried or processed foods!

You DO NOT have to be skinny to be healthy, but take care of your temple...YOU ONLY HAVE ONE!

That's all for today. Remember...you are beautiful with Yo Thick self!

Sexy, Self Confident, and realistic Self Sizing...now that's what's up!
