Ladies, please stop tearing each other down.

Today I read about a female blogger who criticized the weight of a Oklahoma City Thunder cheerleader in a very passive aggressive way. You can read the full story here http://shine.yahoo.com/healthy-living/sports-blogger-weight-shames-oklahoma-city-thunder-cheerleader-kelsey-williams--180043359.html

Now all I have to say is ladies' where is the love? Why do we as women feel the need to criticize the way other women look? Tabloids like People Magazine and US Weekly do it all the time with their Best and Worst dressed lists. Shouldn't all women be on the same team, encouraging each other with our insecurities rather than beat each other down? We are all insecure about something but we should build each other up in those, rather than tear each other down.

Or maybe criticizing other women makes you feel better about yourself? If it does, I think you need to take a good hard look at who you are as a person and your own self esteem. Putting others down to build yourself up is not good or healthy. You need to find confidence to be you. You do have a lot going for you. Go right now and make a list of your good qualities. If you're having a hot mess kind of day and can't think of any, ask your best friends. They like you for a reason! 

I just want to encourage you this week to stop tearing other females down. Instead, encourage one another to be the best version of you that you can be!
