Recientemente leí una entrevista de una famosa actriz de Hollywood en cual le se cuestionaba sobre un possible embarazo.

Ella permaneció impasible y aclaro que no estaba embarazada. Elaboro su respuesta diciendo que era madre de tres hijos y que su cuerpo lo reflejaba.

Dijo todo esto no solo sin amargura si no tambien con orgullo. Estaba completamente orgullosa de su cuerpo incluyendo su estomago y caderas.

Yo pense- “Y eso que ella es arti sta de Hollywood!” Ella es una actriz que cobra millones de dolares por filmar una pelicula y es juzgada tan fuertemente. Que nos espera a nosotras las mujeres que somos parte del resto de la población?

El mundo es aveces tan duro con las mujeres, exigiendonos la perfeccion con estandares poco realistas y e injustos ya que a los hombres no se les exige lo mismo. Hay hombres que se atreven a criticar los cuerpos de las mujeres cuando el propio no es nada de que presumir.

Por parte de mi trabajo, tengo contacto con mucha gente y soy muy tolerante de sus opiniones pero una cosa que no tolero son los comentarios despectivos y las criticas de hombres sobre los cuerpos de las mujeres. Hombres que olvidan que su madre paso por los mismos cambios y que sus hijas llegaran a ser madres y necesitaran apoyo emocional para poder enfrentar las Fuertes criticas del mundo.

Esa misma semana recibi un mensaje de una amiga con una foto mia de hace mas de siete años. Ella me comentaba que si me esforzaba, podria regresar a ese peso. Les puedo asegurar que el mensaje no era mal intenciondo.

Tarde varias horas en contestar ya que queria hallar las palabras adecuadas. Por ultimo le conteste diciendo, “Gracias, es cierto que me veo muy bien en esa foto. Sin embargo, en esta etapa de mi vida, mi meta no es ser delgada sino ser feliz.”

Ella se disculpo inmediatamente dandose cuenta de su faux pas. Es importante cuidar de nuestra salud y de nuestros cuerpos, llevar una dieta balanceada y acudir al medico regularmente pero tambien es importante amar a nuestro cuerpo.

Si, a ese cuerpo que ha dado vida y luz, a los pies con los que hemos camido por el mundo y las manos con las que nos hemos ganado la vida.Creo que tambien es importante recordar que el accesorio mas hermoso de una mujer es su sonrisa.

Aspiremos a ser felices y la belleza vendra sola!

I recently read an interview of a famous Hollywood actress in which she was questioned about a possible pregnancy.

She remained impassive and clarified that she was not pregnant. She elaborated her answer by saying that she was a mother of three and that her body reflected it. She said all this not only without bi� erness but also with pride. She was completely proud of her body including her stomach and hips.

I thought- «And she is a Hollywood artist!» She is an actress who gets paid millions of dollars to shoot a movie and is judged so harshly. What is in store for us women who are part of the rest of the population? The world is sometimes so hard on women, demanding perfection from us with unrealistic and unfair standards since men are not held to the same standards.

There are men who dare to criticize women’s bodies when their own is nothing to brag about. As part of my job, I have contact with many people and I am very tolerant of their opinions but one thing I do not tolerate is derogatory comments and criticisms from men about women’s bodies. Men who forget that their mother went through the same changes and that their daughters will become mothers and will need emotional support to be able to face the strong criticism of the world. That same week I received a message from a friend with a picture of me from more than seven years ago. She told me that if I worked hard, I could get back to that weight. I can assure you that the message was not malicious. It took me several hours to reply as I was trying to find the right words. I finally replied saying, «Thank you, it is true that I look great in that picture. However, at this stage of my life, my goal is not to be thin but to be happy.» She immediately apologized realizing her faux pas. It is important to take care of our health and our bodies, to eat a balanced diet, and go to the doctor regularly but it is also important to love our body. Yes, that body that has given life and light, the feet with which we have walked the world, and the hands with which we have earned our living.

I think it is also important to remember that the most beautiful accessory of a woman is her smile. Let’s aspire to be happy and beauty will come by itself!
