FitBitch: My Body, My Choice

Firstly, I was told this title has the connotation of 'abortion'. Let me make it clear: it's not.

Now that I have that out of the way, I'll tell you what I actually want to discuss. I was looking at pictures of some different types of female bodies; bikini models with great tone to bitches that look like Arnold Schwarzenegger (minus the latino love child.) I have been trying to figure out what exactly my body goal is. Where do I fit in on this range of body types? I have always loved the classic female body type of women like Marilyn Monroe. Even though Kim Kardashian is currently driving me fucking batshit, I admire her for embracing her F150 sized ass.

I've been feeling pressure to get more toned than I had originally planned, but when perusing pictures of really muscular women, I thought to myself: "does this look sexy?....would I look feminine? is it attractive to guys?" This is where I stopped myself. Why do I care about what other people would think? Your body is your vessel on this planet. It's how you physically represent yourself to the world and thus it should be your decision. Whether you want to be super thin, a curvy pin-up bitch or Arnie with a vagina, it's your prerogative. The very reason I founded FitBitch was to make women comfortable in their skin and to accept who they are, but to embrace a healthy lifestyle. Creating the body of your dreams is very personal and although it should be sought after in a healthy way, the shape you want is your own choice.

There are so many expectations of women presented in the media, it's almost a challenge to figure out who and what you actually want to be. It's somewhat of a skill honing in on what your true calling is. Listen to your head and your heart and go after exactly what you want. Don't let any motherfuckers in the way of your dreams.

Even though I've decided to work towards the body type of a IFBB pro bikini model and not a competitive figure pro, it's my decision. I think women with muscles are beautiful. I love when I'm doing push-ups, realizing my arms could throw one hell of a punch. It makes me feel powerful and strong.

Let's celebrate bitches of all sizes. So long as you have harnessed your ability to look however you want and you're doing it in a way that treats your body as the temple it is, then rock on, bitch. I commend you.
