Where has time gone

Hi Guys!

I know it’s been over a year since I last did a post. I’m not even sure who still reads this or remember if there was anyone who did. But either way here I am again. Before I get into the post I want to say my computer is broken so most of my post I’ll be writing from my phone. So here’s a little disclaimer because chances are there will be lots of typos, errors and grammar mistakes.

I shouldve checked back but i think my last post may have been about the surprise birthday party Mr Man and Lola did for me. A lot has happened since then. I actually left my job that was making me miserable in July of 2014. Mr Man parted ways with his company and was unemployed for a bit. We officially live together now. I finally turned 30 in May and love myself a bit more. Had a bit of a health scare. The job I started last year I left this year July… More on that later. Had some great times with family and friends. And I had surgery a couple of days ago. So here I am laying in bed. I figured now is a great time to write. I can’t really do anything else.

Since I’ll be using my phone more my post will be random. Sometimes short. Sometimes long and hopefully more frequent although I can’t make any promises.

Hope everyone is enjoying the last week for summer.

Is Skinny The New Fat?

Now before I start I just want to say that this may come across as a rant from a small girl and that’s fine because that’s exactly what it is.

Many years ago and even still to this day, people often make fun of women’s (and/or men’s) body weight.  People who tend to weigh more were often made fun of.  Not saying it’s right, because it isn’t but it does happen.

Over the years there have been campaigns launched like Dove that promote women’s bodies of all shapes and colours, which is great. I think women’s bodies are one of the most beautiful things ever. I love how a woman’s body works.  Our bodies can be a home for a growing baby and then turn around and feed a newborn. Our bodies are an amazing creation. However not all women think this.
While we were all the rooting for healthier body types for some reason we started making fun of another body type. The skinny girl.

Growing up I got made fun of a lot because I was (and still am) a small framed girl.  It made me very self-conscious to the point where I would try to change either first or last when it came to phys-ed.  I also hated wearing skirts and shorts.  I remember one day in grade 7 I wore a skirt to school. One of my teachers pulled me aside and asked me if I had a lunch and what did I eat.  Now I know she was only concerned but she kept an eye on me for the rest of the school year.  Even to this day, people still pass comments.  When I was training for my 10k, someone at work told me I don’t need to train because I’m already skinny.  I’ve also been asked why I go to the gym when I don’t have any weight to lose. Just because I’m small doesn’t mean that I’m physically fit.  And just because I’m small doesn’t mean I’m malnourished either.

Gaining weight for me isn’t easy. Trust me, I’ve tried.

I guess  I just wished people would lay off a bit and stop poking fun at the different body types.

Okay, rant done.
