how time flies...
was switching from channel to channel, and came across "Tyra" on channel 5.
its a talkshow & happened to be discussing on the topic "self-esteem".
so what exactly is self-esteem?
In psychology, self-esteem or self-worth includes a person's subjective appraisal of himself or herself as intrinsically positive or negative to some degree.
It involves both self-relevant beliefs, emotions & bejaviours.
Tyra Bank interviewed a few kids who self proclaimed that they're fat when they're actually not. And a particular girl who finds herself too skinny, hoping that she could put on weight. Its ironical. Recent news have reported cases of teenagers who yearn to be a model developed eating disorder and led to death.
In the talkshow, it told about a 9 year old girl who starved herself as she did not want to be fat.
Many American models became anorexic due to their "responsibility" in looking skinny & pretty on stage. i personally felt that its totally off beam.
talked about these models, i felt shameful. isn't i like one of those who yearn to be skinny all the time?!
however, to look skinny...we have to go through torments. Crash diets, starving & worst still...dig our throat to throw up the food that we eat.
when do we actually have to go to that extend to feel pretty?!
shouldn't we be happy with what we were born with?
feel fat? Then exercise!
no point starving yourself or complain that you're fat when you eat all sorts of unhealthy food.
from my experience, i managed to lose 10 odd kilos years back. its a sucess, however led to some side effects from the crash diet etc.
i fainted once at a bus-stop due to starvation.
i developed serious gastric problems due to starvation as well...
all that led to a poor health.
Eversince then, i can't eat as much as before..Even if its my fav food..severe pain will haunt me....to date im still havin this problem. how sad.
thats why i decided to exercise. it keeps me feeling fresh, healthy & most of all..
can eat as much but burn off those calories when exercise.
so people....make the right choice!!
Love yourself more....Love your body!
