Good Morning America's shocking news!!

      I normally don't watch Good morning America but yesterday I did and I still can't believe what I saw. I have always known that the media's opinion of what beauty looks like has been obscured but I think they're going over board. Anyways, as I was watching Good Morning America they started talking about the lead Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence, and explained that the media has been saying she's too fat for Hollywood. To show you how ridiculous this claim is, let me show you a picture-

Whats so horrible about this claim is that it further proves that the media thinks having the body of a woman and having curves means your fat and not skinny enough to fit the world's standard of beauty. This is what Jennifer said after hearing what the critics had to say to her-" I’m never going to starve myself for a part. I don’t want little girls to be like, ‘Oh, I want to look like Katniss, so I’m going to skip dinner.’ That’s something I was really conscious of during training, when you’re trying to get your body to look exactly right. I was trying to get my body to look fit and strong – not thin and underfed.” Jennifer continues by saying that she would rather have a womanly shape with curves and boobs instead of having a little girl body just because that's what the media's standards are.

 

 More girls and women need to look up to people like Jennifer because no matter what the critics throw at her, she stays true to herself and she loves her body. I don't even understand why the media would say such a thing because she looks great and many women would kill for that body! It just shows that we need to stop looking up to people who do everything to fit the worlds standards and start looking up to people who remind us that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes and that the media is completely deranged. I don't know about you but I am not going to let the media's standard of beauty effect how I feel about my hair, my face, or my body.
I'm not a size zero, I have curves and the body of a woman, and no matter what the world thinks beauty is...I know that I am beautiful and perfect just the way I am. I'm not going to form to the worlds standards or what others think of me because what they think doesn't matter....What I think about myself matters and what my heavenly father thinks of me matters much more than any ones opinion of beauty.
