Oh, Hollywood, you've done it again.
Really, Heidi Montag, really? Heidi Montag just underwent twelve hours of plastic surgery to have ten different adjustments made to her body. On GMA, she said that she didn't think she was pretty enough, that triple D's weren't big enough, and that she had to look in the mirror everyday and to be happy she needed to change her looks. Oh my sadness. She wants to look like Barbie and thinks that becoming a new and improved person is just fine and a choice that only affects her. Oh really? Girls and women will continue to pick their bodies apart, because women like Heidi think they can become a manufactured body? It is heart breaking to me that as a dear friend of mine just recognized her year mark of being paralyzed in an accident and celebrates her lessons learned as she will never walk again, that Heidi would complain about one dang wrinkle. She disgusts me. I feel bad for her that she has the feelings that she has, but the fact that she is willing to promote plastic surgery in that way is ridiculous. Heavenly Father doesn't mess up. He knew what He was doing when He created us. Confidence will never come to Heidi because she doesn't know where to find it. Confidence comes from as virtue, modesty, and chastity, because these things take the attention off of the external, superficial, physical parts of us. When we look inside ourselves and figure out who we are from the inside and then have that reflect and shine forth....THEN we can have confidence. We as women need to stand up and proclaim this. One of my new goals and a goal I have never had before in my life is modesty. I finally figured out why it's important. We will never be happy or have confidence if we focus on the external, superficial things. Dressing immodestly places attention on my body in a way that will not bring happiness. As I watch the Olympics aka the best two weeks of my life, I LOVE to see all the incredible things done with a human body. These people take years and years and even decades developing skill that I can only imagine. They practice and practice and work and work. And they grow to be confident and they compete against the best of the best. This is what I want my kids to think is done with a human body, not looking like Barbie. These people deserve the spotlight, not Heidi Montag.
