As a woman (yes, yes, I know I try to hide it but these boobs say otherwise) we’re constantly bombarded with
Bacon Loves You!
information and advice on how to be more attractive and therefore happier. I’m not going to talk too much about that as it’s a topic that’s been documented many a time elsewhere and I don’t really have anything new to bring to the table. That said, it’s my personal opinion that I found myself to suddenly be a lot happier when I stopped really worrying about all that shit. I mean, obviously, I still shower, and get my hair cut (at least twice a year), wax my eyebrows, shave my legs, buy infinite amounts of summer dresses and occasionally stand in front of the mirror and podge my flabby bits in a disapproving manner (now there’s an attractive image). What I think i’m trying to say is really more related to weight than appearance, and the fact that a lot of people think you must be thin to be considered attractive.
Now don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t really consider myself to be ‘fat’. Ok, medically speaking, I could do to lose a few pounds (*coughs* stone *coughs*) but I can still shop on the high st with no difficulty (as long as I don’t want to buy stuff in Top Shop, which to be fair… I don’t, as it would involve re-financing my car) but I suprise myself somewhat to say I gave up caring about my weight. Really if you weigh it up, what’s better… being skinny or bacon? Bacon wins every time for me, and again, I don’t want to offend anyone, I know there are ‘overweight’ people who eat healthy and exercise and stuff, i’m not saying you’re all slobs like me who lie in bed eating cheese sandwiches and dreaming about bacon and KFC, (i really do do that), I think what i’m trying to say is I’ve stopped understanding the obsession, sure, it’d probably be nice to be a size 10, but if I have to sacrifice KFC to get there. No thanks, not for me.
oh, and as an aside y’all should totally go and check out Lauren at Pocket Rocket Fashion if you enjoyed this post, because she’s awesome and gorgeous and imho a fabulous role model.
