body image

Coming across fashion trend,
a desirable body image is what symbolize by those who cat-walking on stages 

for female, we need to be as thin as model or those Korean stars like Girl Generation; 
and for guys, those bulked up dude with zero body fat seem to be the hottest items nowadays.

As showed in the picture, G.I Joe and barbie doll represent the ideal body image for both male and female. 


However, dreaming of having this 'perfect' body size has actually claimed to be unhealthy. 
when we're blindly chasing for what society regards as 'perfect'
we've overlook the facts which Korean stars going for plastic surgery, model starve in order to keep them thin; guys took steroid for rapid muscle growth; and photo shop

No one is perfect,
people born with different height and weight, depending on genetics. And later their development will be greatly influences by upbringing and nutrition intake.

Therefore, if EVERYONE is to transform themselves into ONE ideal person, that's simply illogical.

if you're to transform the REAL you into an IDEAL you. 
well, there's a lot of ways out there to be tried out

However, if the goal is too hard to achieve or the result is too slow to show up. People somehow may just give up half way or choosing a shortcut (believe to be an easier way for greater result in shorter time)

Give up half way isn't threatening, aside a waste of time, money and effort; however, if oneself taking a shortcut,  they might not realize how risky they have just bet their life onto
restricted eating causing malnutrition; pills that messing up the biological functioning of the body; plastic surgery that bringing side effect and etc

It is so dangerous, even to think about it. 

Have you notice Hollywood is no longer fancy about the chopstick body size? instead, they train themselves (including female celebrities) real hard for a healthier looking body shape

Seriously, i rather look healthier than to look skinny
I don't mind if my arms look big; I am satisfy with my muscular legs

I love all types of sports, eating a healthy diet; and pampered myself with my favorite food - dessert
I just can't stand  it why should I restrict myself from eating the foods that i like. Life is too short to miss out such a big part of life enjoyment over these

On top of these, it doesn't mean I do not fancy about keeping a good body shape.
It's about changing my perception
As i always believe a balance diet and regular exercise are both the vital key determinants to keep a healthier lifestyle and a good body

sad fact is, sometimes a balance diet and a regular exercise are just too 'luxurious' as we can't being particular on what we're eating and doing at all times
cook for every single meal; bringing lunchbox to office; hitting gym everyday as in there's no extra works or people bothering us after working hours; avoid from stress eating 
these perfect routine are yet perfectly impossible to be maintain 

that's why people always fail in term of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and keeping a good body
I need a nutritionist as my mother and a fitness first instructor as my father!
