Dissecting the Prince Charming myth
Posted on Aug 3rd 2007 8:52PM by Martha EdwardsFiled Under: Motivation
I read a lot of weight-loss and health-related blogs, an one of my favourites is Back in the Skinny Jeans by Stephanie Quilao. If you're not already reading it, perhaps you should be, and if you are, you probably saw this awesome post on the Prince Charming Myth.
The Prince Charming Myth happens when we tell ourselves that once we're thin, or 'back in our skinny jeans', everything will fall into place and we will meet Mr. (or Mrs.) Right. The truth is, while losing weight is important for your health, it's not going to make everything better. Though slimming down can make you more confident, you'll still have insecurities when you're slim, and you'll still have the same problems you did when you were fat. If happy relationships were based on beauty, you wouldn't see so many actors and models getting divorced all the time. Anyway, Stephanie says it better than me, so check out her post and let me know what you think.
