SUMMER IS FOR EVERYONE


I really love spring and summer. They are my favorite seasons of the year. 

But there is one thing I can not stand. And  that is this "PERFECT SUMMER BODY OBSESSION". All I see on instagram, on facebook and on magazines is articles about "getting the perfect summer body". The media is filled up with miracle diets like the "15 days pineapple diet" where all you eat is pineapple for 15 days and you  are miraculously supposed to turn into the most beautiful victorias secret model with  both a tight gap and a perfectly toned and hydrated skin.

It seems that if you don´t go on a diet before the summer and that if you do not get a perfect summer body you can not be happy nor enjoy summer.
SUMMER IS FOR EVERYONE ! No matter what size you are, we can all enjoy summer. Do not let society push you down! 

This "perfect body obsession" is has gone over all kinds of limits.  Statistics show that 91% of women worldwide go an a diet before the summer. 86% of women suffer or have suffered from some type of eating disorder by the age of 20. 50% of the women out there consider themselves "overweight". We live in a society where looks and appearance seem to be the only thing that matters.This body image obsession only feeds eating disorders, body image issues and unhealthy relationships with food and with oneself.
 There is no perfect body just like there is no prince charming. Those only exist in fairy tales.

Every body is beautiful and perfect in its own way. The faster we all make "peace" with ourselves the better and happier and the more comfortable we will feel. This confidence will sparkle out and nothing that shines brighter than confidence and inner beauty.
