Body Image Parable Goes Viral: Mermaid or Whale?
By MindBodyGreen
The parable below, which is a commentary on body image, has gone viral on Facebook. What do you think?
A while back, at the entrance of a gym, there was a picture of a very thin and beautiful woman. The caption was “This summer, do you want to be a mermaid or a whale?”
The story goes, a woman (of clothing size unknown) answered the following way:
“Dear people, whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, seals, curious humans), they are sexually active and raise their children with great tenderness.
They entertain like crazy with dolphins and eat lots of prawns. They swim all day and travel to fantastic places like Patagonia, the Barents Sea or the coral reefs of Polynesia.
They sing incredibly well and sometimes even are on cds. They are impressive and dearly loved animals, which everyone defend and admires.
Mermaids do not exist.
But if they existed, they would line up to see a psychologist because of a problem of split personality: woman or fish?
They would have no sex life and could not bear children.
Yes, they would be lovely, but lonely and sad.
And, who wants a girl that smells like fish by his side?
Without a doubt, I’d rather be a whale.
At a time when the media tells us that only thin is beautiful, I prefer to eat ice cream with my kids, to have dinner with my husband, to eat and drink and have fun with my friends.
We women, we gain weight because we accumulate so much wisdom and knowledge that there isn’t enough space in our heads, and it spreads all over our bodies.
We are not fat, we are greatly cultivated.
Every time I see my curves in the mirror, I tell myself: “How amazing am I ?! “
I want to buy this for her…

Many beautiful pictures from lots of beautiful girls online… In the end, does it matter? Fat, skinny, beautiful, ugly,…etc. May be important in the beginning, but will you stay with someone without true contents? We are only a pile of skeletons and flesh…
Gosh, I need a tattoo…

“This isn’t fair to you.”
I just look at him. I know exactly what to say, but do I dare? It could change everything.
“You know what isn’t fair?”
I’m going to say it.
“What’s that?”
Here I go.
“The fact that you will not let me love you. I cannot even say those words to you. You say it is…
