A while back, at the entrance of a gym, there was a picture of a very thin and beautiful woman. The caption was "This summer, do you want to be a mermaid or a whale?"
The story goes, a woman (of clothing size unknown) answered the following way:
"Dear people, whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, seals, curious humans), they are sexually active and raise their children with great tenderness.
They entertain like crazy with dolphins and eat lots of prawns. They swim all day and travel to fantastic places like Patagonia, the Barents Sea or the coral reefs of Polynesia.
They sing incredibly well and sometimes even are on cds. They are impressive and dearly loved animals, which everyone defend and admires.
Mermaids do not exist.
But if they existed, they would line up to see a psychologist because of a problem of split personality: woman or fish?
They would have no sex life and could not bear children.
Yes, they would be lovely, but lonely and sad.
And, who wants a girl that smells like fish by his side?
Without a doubt, I'd rather be a whale.
At a time when the media tells us that only thin is beautiful, I prefer to eat ice cream with my kids, to have dinner with my husband, to eat and drink and have fun with my friends.
We women, we gain weight because we accumulate so much wisdom and knowledge that there isn't enough space in our heads, and it spreads all over our bodies.
We are not fat, we are greatly cultivated.
Every time I see my curves in the mirror, I tell myself: "How amazing am I ?! "
Do share if you care. - ---------

- Mehtap Altunok: I agree on that media should stop talking about what is beauty. Because everyone has a different vision of beauty...But I disagree on the claim that people gain weight because they eat food or ice cream, we all eat everything. They gain weight because they eat bigger portion than their body need, especially in the US, different from Europe, and they don't exercise.

- Barbara Beley Taber: Also, there are many medical and drug causes of weight gain (and loss) having nothing to do with food intake or exercise.
- --------- Angela Quezada Bertone: Regardless of my body size I pray that my heart would ever grow with love, kindness, compassion and understanding. Outer beauty is admired while it last, but inward beauty will continue to grow especially when given away. I pray that my eyes will look to the inward person while my soul says loud and clear the inside you is who matters most to me. Oh yes I do care about our bodies because they are the vessel that carries our souls. So while you may judge my outsides and like my outer tent or not, I pray that the real me that you see and get to know is the inner person that loves, responds, expresses and seeks to understand the heart and soul of others, for that is the part of us that will last us for eternity. Love you Veleka Gray.

Thomas Williams: You
would need to be a mummy or just another shallow person living on
faults pride. Not to completely understand this real woman well written
answer to that gym advertisement saying that a woman cloth size is what
make a woman the most attractive of all. Quote, "This summer, do you
want to be a mermaid or a whale?"
I seem to remember a famous witch asking a magic mirror. "Who is the fairest of them all?" And the mirror answered. "Not you fool." But in the image of another woman with a lot more substance of dignity and grace than you. Who in the features of her personality can share enough emotional magic that really does last a life time?
So long after what we thought were so important before does truly faded far away in time. Because I now remember the affection from a woman that is still with me after her passing. Who gave us her love to me in how she simply felt about us, and not from, or in, the size of her dress. I thought that everybody knew that the feeling is everything, so what is wrong with some people, don't they know anything? Being quietly healthy with the person who love you is by far much more fun and pleasing then the size of the cloths we are wearing.
