Skinny Minny

So I'm sure most of you have see my bikini picture I posted on Facebook, thanks for the sweet comments. If you haven't seen it, here is is.

If you saw my status last night/early this morning, "Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear." You know what's about to come.

I know what you're thinking, "Whoa, you're tiny!!!" Well, no I'm not. This ladies and gents is the hard effort of Photoshop. If you add about, 50 pounds to this picture you will have what I look like in a bikini.

I took "weight" off of my legs, hips, hands, wrists, arms, stomach, boobs, neck , face and shoulders. I changed my hair color by adding streaks of red and highlights. That belly button? Yeah not real.

The flecks of blue, red, yellow, white, green, and purple are to distract you from the bigger mistakes, and make you think it's "artistic." I made my neck longer and my midsection longer. I made everything else skinnier and gave myself an obnoxious amount of "cleavage," for such small photoshopped boobs.

I'm glad some of you liked it, but it worries me that you like it. Part of me wants to believe that you liked it for how amazing my photoshop skills are. But when the people commenting on my "body" are girls, it scares the crap out of me. I know you're not sitting there thinking "Oh I like those flecks of color and the texture she put on it to make it look like it's on a canvas!" You're sitting there thinking, "I wish my legs were that tiny." "I wish I had a six pack." Yes there's even a six pack drawn on. I hate having this picture up, because I know there are girls sitting at their computers saying this. Now that you know it's fake, please go eat a cheeseburger or something, they're yummy.

This picture disgusts me, since I put it up early this morning, I've been itching to take it down. Not only do I think it gives girls a bad image of what their bodies should look like, it makes me look gross and weird. My husband doesn't even like it, which is good, 'cause if he did, he would have to buy new uniforms because his would some how have gotten chopped up. Anyways, just to give you an idea about how healthy fake me is, here are some numbers, I am 5'2 and in the photoshopped picture, I'm estimating I weigh around  the upper 95lbs to 105, so doing some 8th grade math I'm going to choose 100 as the average weight. My BMI would be 18.3, which is considered underweight aka not healthy. People get so consumed in what other people think their bodies should look like that even if they are healthy they think they're fat. Stop comparing yourself to other people and take a look at you. So what if you have some extra love on the sides or your hips. Women are meant to have big hips, uh hello you carry a child for 9 months. Be proud of what you have!!

Just now, on Facebook, I saw that I had a "like" on a picture and I think my heart literally stopped because I was hoping it wasn't on the picture above.

Any of you who know me, know how hard it was to take a picture, in a bikini, and post it for all of you to see, but something needs to be done. The girls in the magazines aren't real. They're photoshopped and I proved how easy it is, by doing it myself. Granted it took 3 hours, but that was because I had to learn how and I was on the phone with my hubby while  trying to make my legs look sickly skinny. Those girls aren't who you should be looking up to as to what your body needs to look like. Go to the doctor and find out what you need to do to get the body you want, the body you're healthy with.

If you can't lose the weight, then you weren't meant to, some people just have more love to give. I suck at losing weight but that just means I can love people more than skinny minnies! If you're not in a healthy BMI then you need to get there, I don't need my friends having heart attacks.

I'm sure some of you are sitting there saying, "Well that's great and all, and thanks for punking me, but if you're so happy with your body then why don't you post a real picture?"

Surprise surprise, I am. And let me start by saying, I never once said I was happy with my body, I'm not by far, but I'd take what I look like IRL (in real life) over that disgusting picture any day. Again let me toss some numbers out, my scale is cheap and gives me a different number every time I step on it, so we're going to go between 125 and 134 and get the average and it is 129, my BMI is 23.6, I'm in the normal range or the HEALTHY range. Now do I eat healthy or do I eat Mcdonald's? The latter most definitely, but my weight is in the normal zone, so my BMI is healthy, can I just point out I haven't had fast food in a week? Be proud. 

And now the part, I'm sure all of you have been waiting for, say or think what ever you want, because I know any hateful comments will be the result of insecurities with yourself and don't mean anything. And also the only place you will be able to see these pictures is here, I will be deleting the disgusting fake picture off of Facebook. Also I am sorry to anyone I may have offended or anyone I made feel bad about yourself, but don't you're beautiful and no one, but yourself, can take that away from you. I love you and so does my average of 129 pounds :D

This is an unedited picture, it's from a set I took last night to choose which to fake. Again nothing is edited. :)

If you would like me to edit a picture of you, let me know and I'll do it begrudgingly.

Now I'm off to find something to eat, my belly is hungry, this blog was the first thing I did when I got up. 

I love you all and you're all beautiful!
