For decades, or perhaps even longer, the female population has been waging a fight against bulges. From diets to lipo-suctions to weight-loss programmes, this is a battle which us ladies will never win. And it doesn't help when we see all these celebrities and models in the news, magazines, newspapers, internet etc etc clad in their gorgeous outfits or bikinis, or telling us how lucky they are that they can afford to eat anything and NOT gain weight (or as Courtney Love recently said "They must be liars!" to which I wholeheartedly agree with!?!)So when pictures of Jennifer Love Hewitt - in her bikini and looking a wee tad on the curvy sight with a few extra pounds to her famous curves that inspired John Mayer's "Your Body Is A Wonderland" - was leaked out in the internet, well you can imagine the hooha that came with it.
But then, so what's the big deal? Aside the fact that as a star her privacy status is almost non-existent, nevertheless she still looked good DESPITE the extra 'bits'. Even her tummy still looks flat and that's one part of my body which I hate working on!?! Infact she should be applauded for daring to wear the bikini (wearing a dark one-piece suit even gets my paranoia working on overdrive!)
People can be cruel, insensitive and hypocrites. I recall a recent conversation with some friends about this very issue...why people like to comment on our size. At times I wish I could tell them to mind their own beeswax but ever the diplomatic one, it's easier to joke about it simply because I've stopped letting silly comments get to me. At the end of the day, what's important to me is knowing I'm happy with the way I look and feel...and if some guy can't appreciate that, their loss is my gain.
What's that saying..beauty is in the eye of the beholder?
