Want a laugh? I was told that I will lose a client if I don’t decide to put on weight. Opposite of the myth about anorexic models. I dearly love my agency and I am very thankful to my kind and sweet booker who can talk nicely to me about such sensitive matters. She had to deliver the news one of the companies I love working for had told her. People at that place are amazing, sweet and inspirational, and I am blessed I had a chance to share a workplace with them for few working seasons. I might be skipping this season because they have a different vision of my shape this time. I’m healthy, I eat healthy and I like it, I work out once in a while or take long walks when I can. And I have always been this way, except for times when I did gain more than my usual weight. Which happened once in the past three years and lasted for about over a month and was due to hormonal changes. I do not diet (I don’t eat meat or poultry since I was 9 y.o.; ‘Natural vegetarian’ the doc said), in fact, I had put myself on a cake and carbs diet for the past few days. But, I figured, I should just stay the way my body and I feel good. Because, if that’s what they tell people who force themselves to become skinnier in a harmful way, to love their body and stay healthy, I want that for myself too. And I can’t help it if my ‘healthy’ doesn’t match someone else’s idea of a perfect size.
Do you think I’m making the right decision?
Love to all, and eternal bliss with internal peace!
