so i was looking around at some other blogs on this website and saw a disturbing trend with girls trying to lose weight. don't get me wrong, i am all about being healthy and working out, but who says that skinny is beautiful? who says that being 120, 150, 170lbs isn't beautiful? i've seen posts saying that they are literally starving themselves because they "made a mistake and ate too many calories" or "had junk food". you know what? eat that junk food and eat those calories. who says eating a cupcake makes you fat? the obsession with skinny makes me nauseous. i am aware that i don't have this issue because of my genes but it makes me so upset to see girls not eating because they are so disgusted by their body image.
NOTE TO EVERY GIRL: you are all beautiful, no matter what size you are. and one day you will find someone who will make you feel that way every day of your life.
This hit me hard. Thanks for posting this.
ReplyDeleteI don't have an obsession with being skinny, and i'm not fearful of being fat.
I just have that awful desire, need, to be perfect. I'm not sure where it came from. I hate every ounce of it. And I guess not eating is kind of a way to bring me back to reality, the little bit of pang shows my that yes, this is real life.You need to do your best in whatever you do to succeed.
I know, it's messed up. And I too think all the girls out there are beautiful, no matter what size.
I'm not sure what is wrong with me, I just know that I can get my messed up thoughts and emotions out here, and go about every where else as a sane person.
And thanks for your comment- your right. I need to stop dwelling on the good, or the bad. And just be. Forget. <3
i hope you don't think this whole post was directed towards you! i saw a lot of people on blogger that had these unrealistic goals of weights that didn't been reachable. weights even lower than mine and i am considered "overly skinny". it really just upsets me that some girls thing that being skinny will solve all their problems. because frankly, i can tell them first hand it won't. you will find something else that is worn with yourself. i mean i have struggles with not eating due to anxiety filling me up, but sometimes forcing to be healthy is the only way.
ReplyDeleteI know it wasn't aimed towards only me :) And the post did help snap me back to reality. So thanks <3 And yes, I literally force myself to eat for healths sake, hahaha
ReplyDeleteonly way to go about it, lol. i'm glad it helped <3
