Christina Aguilera Okay With Her Body--And Why Shouldn't She Be?

Curvy Christina is beautiful just as she is.

Christina Aguilera has developed a more voloptuous physique in recent years, and some have felt that it is okay to bash her for gaining weight. But Christina says that she feels fine about being bigger and it isn't a problem for her.

"As long as I'm happy in my own skin, that's all I need, that's all the confirmation I need. I'm happy where I am, I have a boyfriend that loves my body, I love my body, my son is healthy and happy. That's all that matters," she said.

She is absolutely right about this. So many people are dreadfully shallow, and it is encouraged. Who the hell cares what someone's body type is? We should be judging people based on their character, not on their size. Anyone who thinks it's okay to bash people for being a certain size really needs to get a life.

Celebrity Weight Loss: Big Whoop

I cannot be the only person who thinks that these people didn't look bad in their "before" photos. We as a society need to stop making such a big deal of size and focus on the soul beneath the skin.

Plastic Surgery Sometimes Isn't Pretty

 Here are some photos of celebrities whose faces have been destroyed by plastic surgery. They don't even look human any more.

It's a shame that people feel the need to do this to themselves. I have had minor plastic surgery, such as liposuction to remove a double chin (back when I was fortunate enough to only weigh 150 pounds) and caps on badly damaged teeth. I will never have botox and I have stopped dyeing my hair since it is now almost completely gray. We need to stop seeing aging as a bad thing. We may not obliterate people once they hit 30 such as was the premise of Logan's Run, but we do push the idea that anyone over a certain age is no longer valuable. It needs to stop!

Farrah Fawcett also allowed herself to age naturally. Even when she became ill, her natural beauty shone through.

Life does not end at 30. Nor does beauty. We need to become a more mature society and learn to see the beauty in all of life's NATURAL phases!
