Image, identity and who formed me?

Gaunt is not healthy. Overweight is not Wrong. How I look does not determine my worth. Food fixation or phobia is not a good use of a life.

There’s a glaring injustice going on that we accept as the norm – but that doesn’t make it “normal”.9-before-you-give-up

Men are taught to apologise for their weaknesses – we women are taught to apologise for our strength.

And what is the stick we use to beat ourselves with? The number of kilos we weigh, the size of clothes that we wear,  the glaring contrast between ourselves and the airbrushed or anorexic figures we are told to desire as our own or what we think other people expect of us.  Our own distorted thinking hounds us.

We are being controlled, by the undercurrent of society that says “The way you look on the outside reflects how valuable, worthy, how wanted you are as a person.”

When women awaken to the truth they realise they’re are trapped in our own invisible matrix.

Q: When did the ideal qualities of a woman take a turn into valuing appearance above all other qualities … when did the emphasis change from healthy, capable and curvy – to frail, waif-like and skinny? (Courtesy Bianca)

I choose.  You choose.

It’s not about ‘perfection’ it’s about freedom from compulsion. It’s about your peace. It’s about well-being. Why wait?
