lately I´ve been wondering more and more about the existence of any real body ideal in the blogosphere. to put this first I am not very fond of the idea of ideals myself as they don´t leave room for individual aspects of what might be appreciated if the common sense didn´t manipulate one´s impressions. of course I am not free from being influenced by ideals myself, but lately I found the frequency of comments concerning nothing but weight and body incredibly tiring.
due to comments I read on my and other blogs that vary from harsh criticism (of being fat) to genuine worry (of being too skinny or unhealthy) I figure people must have an ideal or at least an idea in mind when adressing such messages to the author of a blog in a very public manner.
of course the act of putting oneself on a stage in one or the other way cultivates vulnerability and since most bloggers allow the appearance of said comments it shows they are well aware of that fact along with possessing the mental balance to deal with verbal attacks.
ironically enough, personally I got both kinds of comments since putting pictures of myself up here.
I might be skinnier now than I was in january but that is because I always am in summer due to massive fruit lust and a very busy schedule lately. my eating habits have always been affected of my state of mind and lately eating just hasn´t been a priority.
I am still body and health conscious and really, if I lose or gain a pound than that´s what it is.
in my opinion that´s it with most girls- and bloggers- out there.
one´s weight might vary but I didn´t come across a case of a girl gaining or losing half of her body weight in the blogging process so maybe people should concentrate on an overall appearance rather than giving so much importance on each and every single pound.

really, if I gave as much attention to my weight as some people do you might very well call that a disorder and believe me, I have other things to deal with.
