This morning, I woke up and I was feeling really fat and sluggish and ugly and unattractive and exposed - I'm wearing my contact lenses now instead of my glasses that I can hide behind. You know those days. Every woman has them. Yes, even Claudia Schiffer.
So, there I am feeling slug-like and about as attractive as a monobrow (as poor Ems will verify!) when I watch this program while I'm working. Boy - talk about change of perception... Man, are there ever some people with big issues out there. Yup. Plastic surgery folks. That's what the whole world's going through right now. There's the one with the guy who's gotten himself a pair of breasts (yeah, don't ask..), there's the woman with the BIGGEST damn breasts I have ever seen in my life.. the list goes on. And these peeps are in some serious pain. I know, I know. No pain, no gain but come on!
This is the problem. Society pays too much attention to what you look like and not enough on what kind of person you are. Ok, I'm not saying the Brad Pitt, Adam Levine and Josh Hartnett aren't absolutely gorgeous. Yes, they are (hooboy! are they ever!)! But there is a limit to how much we try to aim for absolute perfection surely? If anything, people are attracted to those with imperfections - the crooked nose, or lopsided smile (I should be HUGELY attractive then!) and that's what so many of us are forgetting.
But I guess to each their own... I just know that I'm going to keep perservering with the gym and running and eating properly ... and a wing and a prayer (!) to help me look closer to what I would like to look like and if that doesn't happen then fine - at least I'll be fit and healthy.
Because at the end of the day, you can look even more perfect than Barbie, but if you have all the personality, intelligence and wit of an empty jam-jar, buddy, you're screwed.
