Never hide.

      Yes, I know 'Never hide' is Ray-ban's iconic tagline and even though I'm not here to talk about sunglasses  today, it does really relate to this post. I swear.

      Basically, I used to be one of those girls starving, running more than my legs can take, looking away from a chocolate cake when all I wanted was to hungrily gobble it down and obsessing about weight loss to no end. I guess it stems from the popular belief that skinny is beautiful, which btw, I now realize is utter nonsense. And no, I'm not going to verbally bash up thin girls. This isn't one of those popular skinny vs curvy article, it's much deeper than that.

     From a long time, celebrities bigger than a size 10 were called fat and ugly. Having a little ass was a crime. Curvy women were made to feel like it's gross to have a little meat on your bones. Why this unhealthy discrimination? It's trash talk like this that makes us unsure about our bodies. Everyday thousands of girls starve themselves wanting to fit into the glamourous category. There are so many extremely anorexic and bulimic girls, it's a pity. It's not their fault, we're the ones to blame. 

     I recently saw a post where regular women with a little cellulite were called beautiful and trust me, they did look gorgeous. But my happiness was instantly crushed by a comment by some guy that said anything beyond a 26 waist is unacceptable and women are required to lose weight otherwise they should be prepared to end up alone. Dafuq?

    Thankfully, the world isn't filled with people like him. Society is now promoting plus sized models from sizes 12-18 and curvy celebrities have established the fact that having some cellulite doesn't make you ugly.  Does anyone here disagree with me when I say these women below are sexy?

I'm very definitely a woman and I enjoy it. Marilyn Monroe was the real sex symbol. With that perfect hourglass figure and that amazing personality, she is an inspiration to thousands of women. 

Kim Kardashian says, '' I have cellulite, but which curvy woman doesn't? My weight doesn't define who I am.'' True that!

Christina Hendricks from Mad Men says, ''I love my body as it is. People in the industry have been telling me to lose weight for years but I like the way I look''.

Crystal Renn is one of the most famous plus size models in the business. But surprise! She used to be super skinny. She says, ''I couldn't walk another step without being exhausted, or having hair clumps falling out." She knew she needed to live in the body she was supposed to have — specifically a curvy size 12''.

Kate Winslet showed off her smoking hot curves in a Stella Mccartney number and she looks gorgeous!

We need to go past the theory of body shape and size and truly love people for who they are. Let's stop being shallow and appreciate beauty in all forms. I'm 5.5'' and I weigh 145 pounds. Sure, I'm overweight but so what, I'm finally comfortable in my own body and it feels great! No matter whether you're a size 2 or a size 12, you are sexy! Let's not hide anymore because of what people say, Let's be confident and show the world how amazing we truly are!
