Cultured in Media

I am like an Instagram Junkie, I can never get enough of it. I literally check my IG at least five times every hour. Normally I'm just searching for food ideas, crafts, places to visit, results, fitness related searches, hair related searches, or whatever else my mind comes up with. But since it is "Fit-Tuesday," I have to narrow it down for today. In today's Instagram Fit edition, I would like to feature Jenelle L. Salazar or better known as GetBodiedByJ.

Sigh. No matter what, we are never satisfied. Always comparing ourselves to the next woman's body. Most of it stems from what the world perceives as beautiful, or fit. Growing up, I was always toothpick thin; I dare not had one curve on my body. I went through being teased, called Olive Oyl to Gumby. Of course I laugh now, but at times it did hurt my feelings. So with that struggle to gain weight, in my twenties, I found ways that increased mass, I slowly started putting on weight and loved every minute of it. I got comfortable and laid off of the supplements for a while. Now that I hit a plateau years ago, I have constantly been gaining weight and trying hard to lose some of it. I'm not overweight, but not "satisfied" with where I am. In t...
