Okay, well, it's time for a
secret.
I was anorexic this summer. I barely ate a thing, and always felt
weak. I still don't really eat. I mean, I'm deathly
afraid of being fat... I lost 20-25 pounds in 3 months. Went from
a size 7-9 to a size 3-5. It's been four and a half months
since I've eaten 3 full meals. I don't know if I'll
ever be able to again. I just don't ever want any other girl
to feel the same as i do. YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL. I don't care
if I'm a hypocrite, you're gorgeous inside and out. Even
if you're a size 45. (:
Vent, Inspire, Love. <3
~*Today, I've come to believe
something that everyone should believe.*~
We're all beautiful. Yes, I am talking about on the outside,
ladies. Do you know what's beautiful? Roundness,
plumpness, softness, tallness, shortness, smallness, long hair,
short hair, no hair, cellulite, stretch marks, scars, it's
all beautiful. The ability to be different, to be your own person
is beauty. It doesn't matter if you're a size zero, or a
size twenty-eight. We're all beautiful. I need you to trust
me on this one, witty girls. I know how tough it is to believe
it. I'm in the midst of a battle against anorexia. It's
more or less taken over my life, and I can't take it anymore.
I may not be the skinniest girl out there, but I don't need
to be. I'm beautiful. You're beautiful. Our friends and
family love us for what's on the inside, not the outside. I
believe that everyone is beautiful on the outside, and on the
inside. Imagine this: we're all just souls. No outside
appearance, we all look the same. It's our personalities that
matter. I'm a thirteen year old girl, but I know how much
pressure the media puts on us. Models look like that because they
devote their lives to becoming the perfect, beautifully skinny
girls, when in reality, no one looks like that. We're all
gorgeous, we don't need to compare ourselves to models, or
even the people around us. Just because we aren't pretty like
someone else doesn't mean we aren't pretty at all.
We're all insanely gorgeous in our own ways. I have friends
of every shape, size, height, and race, and I've always
thought they're all beautiful. I need you to believe me, this
is the change we need to make. To save future girls from feeling
like this. I've hated my body for all my life, I have scars
on my wrists, and weight loss from my self-provoked disease. We
don't need anyone to judge us, to know that we're
beautiful. Join the revolution, witty girls, be beautiful.
Remember, you're beautiful, I'm beautiful. Thank you for
taking the time to read this, stay strong.
