DO you know anyone who wears their baggy pants around their thighs?
You probably do.
But do you know where that got started?
You probably don't.
Well, the surprising answer is, ironically, prison. According to a study done by Christian Pediatric Neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson, PhD., the trend started in the walls of prison facilities in America. How? Well, prisoners have pants, of course, but they don't have belts. In the pasts, prisoners have used belts with their metal hooks as weapons during assaults and attempted escapes. Therefore, police now prohibit the use of belts by prisoners, and since the classic orange jumpsuits are not exactly the most comfortable (or tight) things, prisoners end up with their pants down (Pun intended.) Well, of course EVERYONE knows that the nicest, smartest people in the world are our very own American fashion designers, who decided to push the limit a bit by telling us to do the same. Of course, who would want to look (Or be in) a prison? So most average people don't know (including me until just recently) where this trend got started. But of course, the girls are much smarter than us boys, right?
Right?
Actually, the answer is no, because of what the fashion designers went for next. What they did was they took a bunch of girls that looked as if they had just been pulled out of a concentration camp, dressed them up and packed them off to L.A. They then proceeded to make these women, who are so skinny they might just be relatives to scarecrows, and proceeded to dress them up and parade them around as "Supermodels" telling women around the world that this, and ONLY this, is perfection. Then they proceeded to use this marvelous invention called Photoshop to enlarge, retract, stretch, slim, light, dark, and pretty much totally change the appearance of these girls so that they would look like they belonged in Olympus or something. And all the girls, of course, had to be "just like" these women who weren't even "just like" themselves.
Don't believe me? Then why has Target only just recently introduced their "Super-skinny" Section?"
Why has things like Anorexia and other eating disorders spiked dramatically in the last couple of decades? There ARE people with hyperactive metabolisms; God made them that way. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING wrong with them. But people who aren't built like that were made to be where they are, they were not made to be shopping in the "Super-skinny" section. God says that our bodies were made to be a "Temple of God" Because he dwells in us, so he tells us to keep it in shape. But what God didn't say was that "in shape" is being super ripped for guys, or super skinny for girls, or covered with tattoos or wearing "Barely There" Brand clothes in public. And I'm sure you've heard it all before, but GOD LOVES WHO YOU ARE! He loves that person you want to be like the way she is too, but there is only one you. He made you exactly like you are. So being ashamed of that is not a good thing. And yes, it's okay to lose weight, to exercise, to go on a diet on occasion (Emphasis on occasion). But not to a point where it becomes an obsession, your only focus.
One more thing.
Girls, don't go for the short shorts. It's fashion and all that, but all the people I see wearing them are so busy self consciously trying to pull them down, somehow magically stretch out the material, that they don't have time for much else. I'm not condemning all cropped shorts, only the ones that are so short that the bottom of the pockets hang out of them. Really. Anyways, guys, a struggle I see you face is trying to be all buff and ripped and cool when you're not meant to be buff and ripped (But everyone's cool in their own way.) Again, GOD LOVES YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE! Besides, those guys with abs on commercials and such are phonies. their doctored, just like for the girls. I'll include two links at the end to prove it to you.
In conclusion, and I know I sound like a broken record, but GOD LOVES YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE! He made you perfect, special, amazing. You were not made to be anything other than who you are.......
