• Uphengululo lwe

Okwexeshana ngoku, ii-blogger zokomelela komzimba kunye neempapasho ngokufanayo (molo!) Zibeke amandla apheleleyo ngakwicala "lokuqina lolusu lutsha". Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, into enokwenziwa ngumzimba wakho kufuneka ibaluleke ngakumbi kunenombolo elula esikalini. Ikwayinto enkulu yokutsiba kude nolusu olucekeceke olukhokelele ekubaleni okungapheliyo kwekhalori kunye nokutya okwenziwe ngaphambili. Ke ewe, sikholelwa ukuba yonke intshukumo "yokulunga yintshukumo entsha ebhityileyo" yinto entle kwithiyori, ubuncinci.

Kodwa abanye abantu bathatha indawo yobundlobongela ngenxa yokuba lulusu ngenxa yokuba bomelele, utshilo uHeather Russo, ingcali yokuphazamiseka kokutya kunye nomlawuli wesiza e-Renfrew Centre eLos Angeles. Ke ayikuko ukwamkelwa komzimba. Ingekuba inokwamkela imizimba ebhityileyo, uluntu ngoku luvuleleke kwii-muscular curves, utshilo uRusso.

UKaren R. Koenig, M.Ed., L.C.S.W., ugqirha wezigulo zengqondo, uthi “ukufaneleka” yeyona nto yamva nje kuluhlu olude lweenkcazelo zoluntu zendlela umfazi “ekumele” abonakale ngayo. Ngeentsuku zika-Marilyn Monroe, iigophe zazikhona. Ngexesha le-Kate Moss yee-'90s, wonke umntu wayezama (kwaye elambile) ukufumana izakhelo ezibhityileyo kakhulu.

Sonke sifuna ukwanga ukomelela kunye nabasetyhini abanesibindi sokuthatha iintsimbi kwaye bacele umngeni emizimbeni yabo kwimithambo enzima. Kodwa oko kugxininiswa ngokugqithiseleyo kwinkangeleko nangoku ezifihla ngaphantsi komphezulu. "Kukho umjelo ongapheliyo wokuba yintoni umzimba ochanekileyo kwaye oko kuthetha ntoni kuthi sonke," utshilo uRusso.

Nantso ke ingxaki. Kodwa abantu abaninzi, nditsho nabo bakwempilo kunye nokuqina, abayiboni injalo. Ingxoxo yabo yeyokuba ukusebenza kunye nokuba sempilweni yinto entle, ixesha. Kuyinyani ukuba ukugxila kumandla ngaphezu kolusu yindlela esempilweni-kodwa kukho imida. “Ngoku sifumanisa ukuba, ewe, abantu banokuba likhoboka lokuzilolonga,” utshilo uKoenig. "Unokufaneleka kakhulu, kwaye unokulimaza umzimba wakho." Kwaye impilo yakho yengqondo, nayo, ukuba umthambo ufumana indlela yokuzibophelela kwakho ("Uxolo, Mama, ngekhe uze nesidlo sangokuhlwa kuba kufuneka ndibethe umthambo") kwaye ukuba awuzilolanga ubeka kwimeko embi .

Indlela engcono kukufumana indlela yokuzilolonga ukuze ingene ebomini bakho ngaphandle kokuyilawula. "Ibhalansi ligama elisetyenzisiweyo, kodwa sifuna ibhalansi," utshilo uRusso. Cinga ngobomi bakho njengetshathi yepayi. Uchitha njani ixesha lakho? Cwangcisa ii-slivers zomsebenzi, ukunxibelelana, ukuthandana, ukusebenza ngaphandle, kunye nantoni na eyenye oyenzayo rhoqo. Emva koko thelekisa ubungakanani besilayidi ngasinye kunye neenqobo zakho, nokuba zibandakanya ubudlelwane bakho, impumelelo yomsebenzi, okanye ukukhula komntu, utshilo uRusso. Ukuba ukuzilolonga kuthatha ipayi kakhulu kangangokuba awunalo ixesha lezinye izinto ozikhathaleleyo, unokufuna ukuyiphinda uyiphinde kwaye uqiniseke ukuba awuwelisanga kumhlaba wokuthanda izinto.

Ekupheleni kosuku, kufanelekile ngu entsha ebhityileyo. Njengakwi, ngumgangatho womzimba wamakhosikazi wamva nje obanjiweyo. Kodwa ukuthathela ingqalelo ngaphezulu kweempundu ezigoso endaweni yezikhewu zamathanga kuyingxaki. Umgca wezantsi: Ukuba nomzimba yinto enhle, ukuba nje uthanda umzimba wakho endaweni yokuwubamba kwimigangatho engekho ngqiqweni.

"Ehlabathini elilungileyo, siya kuba sisiya ekwamkelweni komzimba kunye nokuqina komzimba kungakhathaliseki ukuba umzimba uthini kunokuba size nomzimba omtsha ofanelekileyo ngokwenkcubeko," kusho uRusso. "Ukuba siyaqhubeka nokugweba abantu basetyhini ngenkangeleko yabo kunokuphumeza oko bakwenzayo kunye neenqobo zabo kunye negalelo labo kwilizwe lethu, siyasilela kumanqaku."

Oko akuthethi ukuba ufanele uzive ungalunganga ngokufuna ukubukeka kakuhle kwaye uzive uzithembile kwi-bikini. Olona xinzelelo lokwenyani kukuthanda umzimba wakho ngaphandle kokuwujonga, nokuba unjani na umlo, ubhityile, womelele, okanye nayiphi na inkcazo "yomzimba ogqibeleleyo" elandelayo.
