beautyymark: knowledge is power, so get smart bitch!

ladies...

if there is one post on my blog that you pay attention to please let it be this one!!

i am a HUGE believer in beauty coming from within. and no, its none of that bs of being nice, caring and the whole nine (don't get me wrong- this IS the way you should be) BUT what i'm talking about is taking care of yourself and the temple that is your body.

let's face facts- if you do not FEEL GOOD then you won't LOOK GOOD. it doesn't matter how much makeup you put on or what clothes you buy- the truth will show through it all.

with that being said- i have come across the holy grail- Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin's Skinny Bitch

i've heard it all before and it has never made more sense or had a bigger impact than what this book has had on me AND IM ONLY ON PAGE 41!!!

i've learned all sorts of interesting and mostly disgusting facts about the food that is out there that now i know what i should and should not be putting in my mouth.

my favorite thing about this book is the no nonsense tough love they use on their readers. like no one can set the facts straighter than they have.

see for yourself in this excerpt "you need to exercise, you lazy shit. eating properly will dramatically improve your health, body, and all aspects of your life... over-excercising can also cause low body-fat levels... you want to be a skinny bitch, not a scrawny bitch"

seriously- how can you not LOVE them??

and before you go off the cliff thinking that this is a get skinny like the models book you are WRONG. this is a get healthy so you live a long life book.

they clearly say: "we really couldn't care less about being skinny. don't get scared or upset; you will definitely lose weight if you adopt the Skinny Bitch lifestyle. however, our real hope is for you to become healthy. we don't want anyone to be obsessed with getting skinny. when you eat right and excercise, you feel strong and healthy and confident. you start loving your body- not because you lose weight- but because you feel great."

i love this book, these ladies and their message.
