ICE CREAM

During my high school days, I made a point to eat ice cream as often as possible. A two scoop minimum- no fat free, low fat, fro yo- just the full fat, calorie- laden, scrumptious, velvety kind of ice cream. I had never thought of myself as having a weight problem. I felt secure in my own right. I felt beautiful and did not need anyone to verify that.

But then I could hear stories allover of how people taking high levels of calories have weird body shapes, and I know you too are thinking the same. I wished that ice cream would be considered the sustenance of life and not a guilty pleasure.

Well, ice cream is merely an analogy of living life to the fullest, for indulging yourself simply because you are fabulous, just as you are. This means eating that piece of cake because you want to, and not feeling the guilt of calories and fat grams or the pressure of the society and remain at less- than –healthy -weight because “thin-is-in.

It means feeling secure in your own skin. Embracing your luscious curves, and seeing yourself as the pretty lady that you are, no matter what size of jeans you wear. What could be more delicious that that? Self-confidence is key. Seize the moment. Remember all those people on the titanic who waved off the dessert cart.
