Flammin' Hot Cheetos and Ice Cream for Breakfast #fuckyourbeautystandards

I'm not proud of it. Not ashamed of it either. It just kinda happened.
I gave up on being the skinniest girl in the room a long time ago, and with that, all of these food groups opened up, and with that, my taste buds love me. My ass does not.
A wise man once said, I believe he goes by the name of 2 Chainz, "She got a big booty, so I call her big booty." Call me big booty! I'm owning it! Not shaming it.
I guess you could call this another one of those body image posts, because, well, it is. I have always had serious and at times obnoxious opinions on body image.
This is a rant. Feel free to stop reading now.
Some of my favorite quotes and retorts about body image:
1.)  "She's really pretty, for a fat girl."
Seriously?! SERIOUSLY??! "For a fat girl." No. She's either pretty or she's not. You can, of course, be the judge of that, but at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what you think of her. It matter's what she thinks of her. And I will always think she's beautiful.
2.)  "I'll wear this dress once I lose a few pounds."
No. No you won't. Because once you lose those 3 pounds of water weight, you still won't be satisfied. You're living by a number. A number that fluctuates daily, depending on the time of year (and the time of the month), and what planet you are on. So wear that dress girl, you'll look just as fabulous today as you will in it next week.
3.) "I'll have an ice water, please. And a tossed salad, with a side of dressing."
Is that what you really wanted? I know that guy is cute and all, and I know how terrible soda is for all of your organs, but you're out to eat. You're already spending way too much money on food and service. Get a Coke for crying out loud, or a beer. They're just calories. And that salad? Who are you trying to fool? Go ahead, order the biggest burger on the menu. With the fries. I can't speak for all men, or really any men, because I am a woman, but from what I hear they don't really care that you're getting an ice water and a salad to appear dainty and coy. It may even be a little annoying. Save the salad for home, ladies. There is a time and a place for vegetables. Treat yourself while you're out.

I really wish realistic beauty standards were universal. Because really, I have yet to meet a truly physically ugly female. Your body is just the vessel, let your confident personality shine through it.

Love all of you.
XOXO,
Cheetos-Stained Nails
