Why The hell would I want to be a size 2?

I know a double post on a day is usually something of a blue moon, but I just had to speak on this.

TIME FOR MY RANT
 
Now you ask why would i have a problem with this?
 
Like I said, In the beginning, I did consider requesting the book. It looked like something I'd want to check out, but then I paused and said:
 
Why?
 
Why the hell would I want to be a size 2?
 
I like my full busts, small waist and wide hips, onion butt and thick thighs.
 
Now i know I need some toning, but a size 2?
 
A size 2 would take away my nice butt. Though it's hard to find clothes, and difficult to look nice in clothes that are suppose to be my size, I still wouldn't trade my size 14 for anything.
 
Size 2 would be too small. I wouldn't know what to do with a size two.
 
I have features that in Africa I would be considered a queen and in no ways would they find these features needing to be changed.
 
But I really don't need my ancestors telling me I'm wrong to be a size 14. Or that my plus size mentality is dangerous. According to my doctor, I am healthy. I have a great blood pressure, my heart's as strong as a bull, I've been through two pregnancies and ended up the same size I started, and I feel wonderful physically.
 
I have strong legs and back, curves in all the right places and I look damn good for going on almost 40.
 
So Why the hell would I want to be a size 2?
 
I don't. I won't ever want to be that size.
 
I'm happy having a plus acceptance mentality.
 
What do you think?

Sylvia,

Great post! This is obviously a cultural thing. I don't know too many black women who yearn to be a size two (or anything smaller than an 8). A size that small is only healthy for an extremely short person with a naturally petite frame. Most of us do not fit into that category. It's not about the number size for me, it's about feeling sexy and attractive. For a lot black women that means curves, butt, thighs, and hips. That's sexy! Want proof? Look at other cultures that are starting to follow our lead and are now getting surgical augmentations to achieve the same curves that we were born with. Bottom line, be healthy and don't worry about what some magazine or book tells you to do about your weight. I will never be a size two and most importantly I would never want to!
