Skinny VS Curvy

Nikky brings our quote for the day:

‘Find things that make you feel great about yourself and then focus on that rather than on the things that make you upset about yourself. ‘Pick out the great things that you love about yourself. Whether it be your personality or jokes, whatever it is and focus on that rather than, “oh my hips are too big” or “I have fat on my thighs.

Beauty fades as we get older. We will be remembered for the important things like our personalities and the work that we’ve done and how we’ve impacted other people’s lives. Not what we look like. I just realise that I’m here for a reason. I’m here not to look like all the other girls. There’s something in me that separates me and makes me different and I don’t think it’s my weight. Obviously that’s the physical reason but I think when it comes down to it, I always believed talent would prevail.’

… says 21 year-old Nikky, who has the lead role in a new TV series called Huge (where she can be seen wearing a swimsuit- see here!).

Nikky Blonsky has a little bit of something to share:

‘I think there’s nothing better than just showing my confidence and showing that I love my body. Why not share it with L.A., New Yor, everywhere?

I’m just comfortable and confident in my body. I couldn’t care less that the world is seeing my bathing suit right now.’

Nikky has shared some thoughts about being plus-size before – check out this post!

21 year-old Nikky Blonsky is the star of a tv show called “Huge”, a show about a group of teens sent to a summer weight-loss camp. Nikki recently opened up about her role, about prejudices and being plus-size in an interview for The Frisky:

Nobody really looks like that, unless you have the means. Most of America doesn’t have the money to have a trainer 24/7 and a meal service to bring you meals, because if they did, we’d all be a size 2. And that would just be too perfect.

Every single issue skinny people go through, plus-size people go through, too. We’re all human beings and we have to remember that our looks are something that are only with us for a certain time. It’s our spirit that people will remember us for as time goes on and we grow older.

“People will say, ‘Oh, fashion magazines are so bad, they’re giving girls a negative message’–but we’re also the fattest country in the world, so it’s not like we’re all looking at fashion magazines and not eating. Maybe it just starts a shame cycle: I’m never going to look like that model, so… Chicken McNuggets it is! And conversely, I don’t look at models who are crazy skinny and think I want to look like that, because a lot of them are gigantic, with giant hands and giant feet.”

… says Tina in Vogue Magazine

P.S.: Tina is looking quite skinny on that cover.
