Whenever I go through a magazine I’m amazed of all the
pictures, advertisements and stories of how women are expected to look to be
accepted by society. You can never go a day without seeing or reading about a
women and the way they should look, young girls talk to their friends about Nicki
Minaj and her body wanting to look like her. Teenagers will do anything to get her body, as a role model yes they can look up to her, but hey never change how you
to look like someone or to meet someone else standards. As for Nicky who knows if those hips and thin
figure are real or those of Jennifer Lopez and jennet Jackson, what if they went through surgery to get those?

Women like queen latifah and Monique Imes-Jackson those are the type of
women that we should be looking up to, they embrace and love their bodies just
the way they are and magazines such as plus model magazine. These women are true women and should be celebrated for being
themselves as women, as for August is woman’s month that does not mean they
should be celebrated, praised and shown love because of that but that should
be done all day everyday throughout the year. The media will always have
something to say about women and their looks whether you gain weight or lose weight
they will have something to say. As
women we may not all look like models and dolls yes that’s not who we are. I appreciate
women like Hlubi Mboya and I look up to them as role models but that does not mean i have to change how i look.
I may not meet the standards set by the media but that does
not make me less of a woman, I love the
way I look and I feel good about myself, if you don’t like it that’s your
problem and you should deal with it on your own time. Women we are the pride of
the world and we are mothers of the nation lets stand together and be imbhokodo
yesizwe Phambhili ngomama Africa. Your body is the temple of god
so don’t change it for anything or anyone, lets love our bodies and be proud of our hips as the saying goes big hips don't lie.
This blog is very interesting and it's actually saying to us especially women we must be proud of who we are and where we come from in spite of how we look.
ReplyDeleteYes girl that's what it's saying we should be proud of who we are and where we come from, if we don't who will? How we look does not have to define who we are but we should love ourselves and be proud of our bodies. Thanks for the comment hope you enjoyed the post
Deleteindeed hips don't lie! be proud of who and what you are! this is your body, your temple! look after it, nurture it but most of all LOVE IT!!!
ReplyDeleteYes hips don't lie! Women need to be proud of their bodies and love themselves despite what society expect them to look is your body not their body. I f you not proud of how you look how do you expect someone else to be proud of your body, truly speaking beauty starts from within.Thanks for the comment.
DeleteWe are beautiful, thin, fit or chubby. Beauty has no size or even shape, it is time we recognise that fact. Let it all begin embracing who and what we are first before we expect others to do so
ReplyDeleteMapule Dhlamini I so agree with you
DeleteTrue that it does not matter whether you are thin, big or chubby you beautiful just the way you are. Before judging how someone else is expected to look, look at yourself first and most of the time people who judge others based on how they look they are the ones who have a problem with their looks and bodies.To all women you are beautiful and you should be proud of that.
ReplyDeleteI like it when people love themselves. There is no to change who you are because you need to be accepted or just because you see everyone doing it and you think it is the right thing to do.
ReplyDeleteYes you should love yourself and your body because no one else will. I think that no one needs to be judged based on they body or how they look we are all different. I think woman need to stop taking what people say about their bodies too serious, if someone does not like how you look they should deal with it on their own and that's their problem they should not make it yours. Thanks for the comment
DeleteI am preety as I am,I think your blog is an eye opener because it makes one want to appreciate themself as they are and stop wishing to be like celebrities whom no-one knows whether their hips and figures are real or just plain fake. I am me and I love who I am without a figure, its too overrated anyway. ;)
ReplyDeleteYes you pretty as you are and you should not let anyone tell you otherwise. Thanks for that girl that is what I wanted to achieve with my blog to let woman know that they are perfect the way they are and that they should love and accept themselves. It's a greet pleasure to know that my message touched some one and I hope that a lot of woman we also be touched. Thanks for the comment.
DeleteI wish people could just stop obsessing about how their bodies look. In the intertainment industry you can be as skinny as hell but you will be seen as healthy and beautiful. But the is a limit of how much weight can a person gain. So ladies be curvilicous and do not let the media define the "perfect" body for you.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you woman should stop obsessing about their bodies, you are perfect they way you are if you were not then god would have not created you that way and as the saying goes hips don't lie. a woman with meat is a real woman umama Africa woqhobo imbhokodo. thanks for the comment.
DeleteI think this obsessing over body image based on the media's perception is so unrealistic especially since so many of these media personalities are not naturally like that. Take Nicki Minaj for instance, she is pure plastic!Even her smile is fake (too much botox). I think health should be people's main concern, as long as you are healthy,skinny or chubby you are FABULOUS!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Busi even if people call you bones or "Mafuta" as along as you know that you are healthy and you are all natural you have nothing to worry about.
DeleteTrue that, I wish people would spot look at her as the perfect person because she is not don't get me wrong I’m not say they should not look up to her as a role model, what I’m saying is that they should not change how they look to imitate her. True that it does not matter whether you are skinny or chubby as long as you are healthy that’s all that matters. At Thobile I agree with you it does not matter what people call you they will always have something to say whether you are skinny or chubby. Ladies it's time we started worrying about our health and not what people expect us to look. Thanks for the comment.
Deletewow i love this blog...i think as women we need to start accepting our bodies and how we are shaped because every one is beatiful on her own way,and we should stop letting the media feel bad about ourselves because honestly that wont help us with anything
ReplyDeleteThanks girl. I have to agree with you on that one we should love our bodies just the way they are shaped it does not matter if you have a well-shaped body or not, by the way who is to judge which body is well shaped and which one is not? It does not matter what the media says they are not the ones to judge how a person should or should not look that’s all up to a person how they feel about themselves. Personally I think what women should worry about it their health, you may have the body that is to die for but as long as you are not healthy I don’t see the point. As long as you love and accept yourself the way you are that’s all that matters, we are all beautiful. Thanks for the comment.
Deletewooow gal your blog is very creative,people have to learn to accept their body types the way the are.God created us differnt we just unique
ReplyDelete
DeleteThanks, that’s true dear if you don't accept your own body how can you expect someone else to accept you and yes we are all created differently by god. Personally I think that if you don't like how your body is it means that you don't like god because we are all created in his image. Thanks for the comment.

Deletewell i love women who love themsleves.these women are heros to the plus-size women,so as the society we ought to give them credit cause believe it,this cant be easy for them.
ReplyDeleteHave to say it's a first time hearing a man say that. I think society needs more men like you who show support o woman and make them accept themselves the way they are and yes it sure is not easy for them to live up to the standard that is set out for them by society and the media. Thanks for the comment.
DeleteAs women we must be proud of who we are and how we look, because if you don't who will, enjoy reading your blog Thobeka NICE
ReplyDeleteThanks girl, and yes as women we should be proud of who we are and how we look. How can you expect someone to love if you don't love yourself? Thanks for the comment. It's nice to know that the’ re some people who enjoy reading my posts this goes to show that I’m getting my message out there and its lending on the right ears.
DeleteNice article Thobs..I have that problem as well most of my friends tease me about my body,they say I lok like a 16 year old and I am 22.I have this slim body it depresses me out now.So now I wont care what people say
ReplyDeleteThanks girl... I’m sorry to hear what you are going through with your friends teasing you, what I can say it you should not let that get to you trust you me you may find that some of them wish they had your body. Personally I feel that it does not matter what people say about you, as long as you love your body and feel good about yourself that’s all that matters. Girl people always have something to say and they’ll always do just love yourself and your body and remember you are special and perfect just the way you are. Hope you will get through it all and come stronger than before. Thanks for the comment.
DeleteI so like this blog thobeka :) people may say whatever about my body size and the minite i take what they say about me i eill have a low self-esteem but if i block out whatever they say i will accept and love my body
ReplyDeleteloved reading your blog, it is very interesting. women should just appreciate themselves as they are and stop comparing themselves to photoshoped girl... like really now, where your pride in that
ReplyDeleteyah ne american culture has landed, nicky minaj, kim kadashian etc tell you what you have to look like, what you should wear and what not. what happened to being comfortable in your own skin. people starve themselves to death for nothing....
