This week the song Skinny Love by various artists…
I must admit I’d never really known this song before… Haunting…
And my effort today…
Thinspiration
“C’mon Love, eat up!” Da placed a plate filled with his famous roast lamb, and all the trimmings. You know, succulent lamb with mint sauce, golden roast potatoes, 3 vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, gravy. It smelled divine. I just want to grab my cutlery and eat it all up. But the voices from the web…”Really? Will he even look at you if you are fat?” “You want those carbs…really?” “Think thin!”
Da was looking over at me, concern brimming from his eyes. “Please love, have some, it’s your favourite.” He placed his hand on mine. “You’re looking far too skinny, love.”
Just a little thought harking back to those thinspiration sites that have been clogging up the web, and the effects they are having on these young girls, and boys.
Hope you enjoyed!
But I Smile Anyway...
