If Kate Upton is a cow...

Kate Upton from 2011 Sports Illustrated.

The other day my homeboy hit me up saying Kate Upton might be the only blonde chick he's ever been attracted to. I had no idea who Kate Upton was, but apparently she's a Sports Illustrated model, who got the cover either last year or this year. 


Today, I was on www.examiner.com and saw a blurb about a blogger likening Upton to a "cow", and expressing her disgust at Upton's "plus sized" body. Kate Upton is a tall chick and allegedly weighs about 150 lb.  


That's how much I weighed entering college at 5'9" tall, and I looked like I was one missed meal from dying on the spot. It's crazy, but people carry weight differently. The blogger went on to say this about her own weight:
" I’m about 5’7″ and try to stay around 100 lbs. It’s hard and takes a lot of self-discipline (which I’m sometimes good at.)" 

When I was 5'7" I weighed about 135 lbs, and I looked like I was one missed meal passed death. My homeboy (same one who likes Kate) always jokes me about how thin I was at that time. But I always carried most of my weight in the lower half of my body. Now that I have my "grown woman weight", it has dispersed rather evenly LOL.

I have since put on and taken off and put back on, more weight than I care to have, but I would never want to be that small again. Yet I have a pal who says at 5'7" she cannot put on any pounds passed 115.

Women obsess about body image in some of the most unhealthy ways. The blogger who called Kate Upton a cow once had a segment on her blog with daily starvation tips... So if Kate Upton is a cow...is she a corpse? 

Recently, one of my homegirls and I were at a basketball game talking about how imperative it is to get back to our fighting physiques... lol.  After a trip out and about town, she noticed how out of shape a lot of the women were vs the men.

Being fit comes in several body frames, as does being unfit. It is imperative for your physical, mental, spiritual and relationship health that you take care of those things.  It is only as hard as the lack of effort you put into it.
