‘That makes me obese’ Pink hits back at ‘regular beauty standards’
Let’s face it, we all know deep down that the scales are not the be all and end all when it comes to measuring our health, but it can be easy to ignore that fact when the numbers start to creep past that ‘ideal’.
In a post which has racked up almost a quarter of a million likes since its upload, P!nk took to Instagram on Saturday to give us all a reminder that those ‘regular standards’ don’t always apply to everyone.
The singer gave birth to her second child last December, but it seems she wasted no time in getting her body back in shape, and yet admits that her progress would fall short of societal ideals.
Posing in her workout gear, the Leave Me Alone singer encouraged her 1.4 million followers to focus on feeling fit and healthy rather than trying to look a certain way.
Sharing the snap, she wrote, “Would you believe I’m 160 pounds and 5’3”? By ‘regular standards’ that makes me obese"
"I know I’m not at my goal or anywhere near it after Baby 2 but dammit I don’t feel obese. The only thing I’m feeling is myself."
Issuing a word of warning to her legions of followers, she added: "Stay off that scale ladies!”
Like, the women behind Any Body, P!nk’s message about body confidence is definitely one we could all take on board.
