But then there are women like Beth Ditto. Women who say, I am happy and comfortable with who I am and what I look like. So much so, this woman was willing to pose nude for a magazine cover.
Some may look at this cover and think she doesn't belong there. She's not a twig model. She's got rolls of fat. She doesn't fit in the latest runway trends. I say that's exactly why she belongs there.
When I see this picture of Beth Ditto, I see confidence, happiness, self esteem, and self love. What better picture of beauty than that?
I am happy to see Beth's cover today. What an awesome reminder that confidence and self esteem don't come from looks, they come from within.

Oh wow!! She's so pretty! I wish I had that much confidence and self esteem! I don't even think if I was a size zero I could do that.
ReplyDeleteThat is how I feel right now - not happy with MYSELF at this weight. It has nothing to do with how other people see me, but how I feel in my own skin. Love the pic!
ReplyDeleteI have the same issues with my weight. I am told that I have the right weight for my height but all the same I am not and never have been happy with the way I look. Since I was 10 years old I have longed to be skinny and beautiful. I am an "apple" and that too adds to my unhappiness with my figure. I absolutely admire women like Beth who are comfortable in their own skin. And she is beautiful too. Whoever thinks she doesn't belong on a magazine cover is sad.
