We’ve all been there.  We’ve all looked at the magazines Kim Kardashian is in and wondered….how does that body go together?  How can she have a more than ample backside, yet her thighs are small?  How can she look so curvy, yet so skinny?  It’s something that makes you want to throw the magazine against the wall and jump on the treadmill for another hour.

There’s absolutely no denying that this girl oozes good looks.  She’s beautiful!  Beautiful enough to make you jealous.  And the reality is, even though she is beautiful, she doesn’t have skinny thighs and a flat belly like we see in magazines.  Thank goodness for photo-shopping!  It’s out there just to make us feel horrible about ourselves.

I understand it.  Beauty sells!  Even though we say we do, we really don’t want to see cellulite and flabby bellies on magazine covers.

But I do love that this picture has slipped out.  That is reality.  When we wondered how her thighs seem so tiny compared to her backside…now we know.  She doesn’t have tiny thighs.  That’s the magic of photo-shopping.  When we wondered how her belly seems so flat compared to the rest of her…now we know.   They have photo-shopped about half of her belly out of the picture.  They have given her a lift in the chest region, and also made her skin lighter.

Photo-shopped or not, Miss Kardashian is a stunning beauty.  I adore her fashion style.  And secretly, I’m glad Miss Kardashian isn’t the freak of nature that magazines make her out to be.  If anything, I’m all about promoting self-confidence and a healthy lifestyle.  So take a long look at this before and after, and remember that the next time you are looking in magazines and feeling bad about your appearance.
