*** One in 5 people who use sunbeds will be using them more this year because they can't afford to go abroad on holiday. Even though using a sunbed once a month or more can increase the risk of skin cancer by more than half, it seems that this is a price people are willing to pay to have an all over tan.
*** A man who weighs 40 stone has been warned that if he doesn't lose weight he will die. He struggles to walk and breathe and could have heart problems.
These two stories are both about the way that we treat our bodies. We have a choice whether or not to take care of them. Whether it is choosing to put beauty before our health or eating unhealthily, the decisions we make will affect our health in the long run.
The Bible says that the number of hairs on our head are numbered. God made us to look the way we do, we are perfect in his eyes, one of a kind, we were planned before we were even conceived. We shouldn't strive to be better looking or more skinny, we need to be learn to be comfortable in our own skin. By reading magazines and comparing ourselves to the beautiful celebrities, we are setting ourselves unreachable standards! Celebrities look as average as us without the expensive make up, hair dye and fake contacts. Paris Hilton, the blonde with blue eyes, for example, naturally has Dark blonde hair and brown eyes!
Please realise that you are naturally beautiful. Be confident in yourself and don't compare yourself with others.
Our bodies are a temple of the holy spirit. We should respect them, care for them and maintain them.
