Do you hate the word SKINNY?


What do you think of when you hear the work SKINNY? Years ago, skinny (and healthy) was a size 10-12, today, it’s a size 4 or even lower. But who decided that we have to put a “size” on skinny? 

We were all created with a unique body design. Our bone structure is something none of us can change. Some of us have large frames, some medium, and others small. Does this make one body type better, more fit, or skinnier than another? 

Never compare who you are, what you look like, or your body type to someone else. I fell into this trap for many years, but as I’ve gotten older, I realized I was fighting a battle I could never win. So I surrendered...

Let’s redefine the word SKINNY. Your skinny is different from my skinny, and that’s okay! If we all start to focus on our own individual health, wellness, and internal well-being, we will be the SKINNY we were created to be! Isn’t that awesome?

Are you a multitasker like me, with numerous projects going on in any given day? Most people are so busy they don’t have time or don’t make time to invest in themselves, which is something everyone needs to do in order to be and to stay healthy. 

What I’ve found in my own life is, the better I feel physically, mentally, and spiritually, the more energy I have, the more effective I am in all areas of my life, and the more I have to give to others. How about you?

I know many people don't like the word skinny because of what the world has made skinny out to be - unhealthy, unattainable (unless you enjoy starving yourself), and basically an unrealistic view of a woman. Yes, there are women who are naturally thin and that is their skinny, but that is a small percentage of women.

So, my question to you is, "What's your SKINNY?"
