Response : Body parts- how people feel about them

I found an interesting quote from Carly Cheung's blog about how we should basically appreciate them:
Having my own body just feels more comfortable, even though I would not know how it feels to have a piece of technology attached to me. Maybe we should start thinking about how unique our original bodies actually is and appreciate it.
 I like this quote because i find it unique and honest. We should appreciate what we have instead of  complaining and hating ourselves for the way we look. God made us the way we are and we should be grateful for what we have. If we don't like it, change it but don't do anything drastic that would mess with health issues or cause you your life.Yes, many people don't like the way their bodies look and this is usually about weight. That is one of the good things about exercising- you can build more muscle and work on your physical strength.Then again, it is hard for people to exercise. Why? they might need motivation and can possibly be couch potatoes.

We should all feel comfortable in our own skin and like our bodies. Surgery won't do no good- it makes you look different and there might be some things that you might not like. Examples would be Michael Jackson and Heidi Pratt. Michael Jackson has had many surgeries, especially on his nose. He had to change it so much because he thought it was a good thing at the time but reliazed that there were some problems with it, so he change it. He started weaves after his hair burned and there was an incident where you could tell his nose was fake.

Heidi Pratt did much worse than him though. She turned herself into a complete Barbie Doll. When i look at old episodes of Laguna beach and the Hills, Iam shocked by how she looked then and how she looks now. She had surgery in her forehead area,  nose, lips, and deduced her breasts! WHO THE HELL GOES FROM HARDLY HAVING BOOBS TO A DOUBLE D???? I thought it was very dumb, but that was her choice. Just like Michael jackson, Heidi realized on an episode of the Hills that every one thought she was beautiful just the way she was. She cried, knowing that she was beautiful before, but that she went through all this plastic surgery for nothing.

That is why we should not take advantage of our bodies by getting plastic surgery. We should like our bodies and exercise more if we want to change it. If we don't, we might regret the mistakes we made before. No one has to look like the skinny model in the magazine or ad; they should love themselves because every one is beautiful. :D

  1. I agree that the huge celebrity plastic surgery trend sends sick and weird messages to the rest of us mere mortals...It's sad that because we're so used to seeing these folks' images plastered all over our world, from the TV in the living room to the checkout line at the grocery store, etc., that people get to thinking that it's normal and desirable to get "work done" on themselves. Then you get to the extreme cases like the ones you're talking about, and things get REALLY creepy. There wasn't just "an incident" where you could tell MJ's nose was fake...you could tell that 24/7.

    As for the technology add-on thing...I wonder about how much of that is already happening. Some people say, for example, that our cell phones should already count as "part of our brains," because they're so sophisticated now that they are beginning to take over some brain/memory functions. It's a slippery slope, if you see what I mean...
