Women you are worth it

Why are weight loss drugs so popular among women? It is because the worth of a woman has been equated with how skinny she is. The fatter a woman, the lesser her worth in society. Add colored skin to that mix and she is treated even worse (I know because I am colored). Deep down we are all human beings We want respect and belonging. They say that looks do not matter. That is a big joke for women. Women are constantly judged based on their looks.
Even health professionals suggested to me to take the help of weight loss drugs, but I stayed away from it and lost 25 pounds with diet and exercise. I am now working on losing 60 pounds more using diet, exercise, stress reduction, sleep etc.
It is important to be healthy and fit. However, we should not equate self-worth with how we look. I embarked on this journey not because I got rejected by the guy I like for the way I look, but because I wanted to be healthy.
So here is what I say to other women who are overweight and obese: I see you. I love you. You are worth it. If you do embark on a journey to get healthy using exercise and diet, I support you.
