I don't know if you have seen the news about the photos of Jennifer Anniston on holiday. All the magazines have written that she is pregnant because of her stomach (which was btw absolutely normal). I get very irritated about this. What gives the right for people to comment on other's looks in this way.. I don't understand.

For first, whose stomach has been swollen after a meal? Mine has. ?And I'm 26, not 47.. (So there is also a difference.) One time in a bus I was offered a seat because the person thought I was pregnant "you are pregnant, I see". I was like what?! And pulled my belly inside for the rest of the trip.. It wasn't very nice to get a comment like that before I was going to a model casting.

For a lot of women the subject of having children can be very sensitive so I think it's better to be without supposing things like pregnancy. People maybe don't mean it in a bad way when they say to someone something like "how skinny, how tall, how short or how big shoulders you have" etc.. But those things can be an insecure area for the person you are speaking to. And it doesn't help if the person gets the feeling that everyone is just seeing that part of them and it makes them feel even more insecure. (I have experience in this especially with my shoulders.. ?).

So today I want to remind that let's be careful on how we comment on how others look. We can't know what is behind all of that.

I have always wrote here how self-acceptance and loving yourself starts from our mind - you are already good enough and beautiful. But sometimes the right word in the right time can mean the world. I want to challenge you to give more compliments. If you think something good about someone, tell it to him/her. Tell your best friend how beautiful she is and tell someone on the street how nice eyes or hair she/he has.

In this world we need more compliments and positive feedback and less competition, jealousy and cruelty... The beauty of someone else doesn't take the beauty away from you. ❤
