Whales vs Mermaids

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 ?! "

I love this!
All women need to start embracing their bodies.
And being proud of how they look.
Eff trying to be what you think people want.
Be you.
