What’s with all the hatin???

What’s with all the hatin???

By: Cara Mills

This is a call for all the ladies to finally put the hatin’ and the evil eyes aside and give props to those that represent the female form well. You know what I’m talking about – it’s a well known fact to both guys and girls that women typically suffer from cases of jealousy when they see a girl that looks good. Now I have witnessed this first hand when I have been in the gym and seen the girl walk by with the tight abs and trendy gym clothes and all the men are staring after her as she strolls by. Meanwhile you can read all the girls thoughts as they stare her down – “I hate her”!

I must admit that when I am particularly bloaty at that time of the month, or had a bad week of major carb over-loading, and skipped my morning cardio for an extra hour of sleep 3 days in a row, I’ve found myself thinking the same thing at times.

But most of the time I respect that girl because I know the dedication and hard work it takes to look like that. I know she doesn’t just look that way every day by merely doing a spin class once a week and cutting her Cold Stone Creamery cheat days down to once a week.

Shouldn’t we want our fellow ladies to represent us right? To look good and feel good and exude confidence – isn’t that what we all want? So ladies, let’s give props where props are due, and maybe instead of making nasty comments when a girl that obviously works hard to look the way she does walks by, you could stop her and pay her a compliment – or better yet, ask her for some tips so you can strive to look like her too! You know as well as I do; that girl sweated her butt off every morning and maybe even every night for weeks in a row as she ran on the treadmill. And I’m sure she did not go out to happy hour on Friday night and fill up on beer and hot wings! So if you want a body like that, do what you got to do ladies!

Don’t hate, appreciate!

Let’s encourage each other to be the best we can be, and be happy for each other when we reach our goals!
