This
word goes out to all the girls out there that are starving
themselves to become something they're not.
To all the girls out there who feel like their weight is an
important thing.
To all the girls out there who think that they need to slim down
a little bit, to get the attention they want.
To all the girls out there who think that, you know, maybe if
they were a little thinner, their family would accept
them.
To all the girls out there that can't accept what they see
when they look in a mirror.
I just want you to know that I think you're beautiful;
I think you are amazing; I think you are gorgeous.
And I think that you are made for way more than you settle for.
And I think another thing too.
And I think that this lie that you embrace, that skinny this will
give you something, that skinny will, skinny this, skinny that,
is BULLSH/T.
Skinny isn't going to give you anything!
I hate to break it to you, but skinny is just... skinny.
That’s ALL it is!
You might think that your friends will like you more, boys will
notice you, your family will accept you.... But it’s not
true.
All of these things that being thin promises you is a lie.
You don’t even see that you’re destroying
yourself!
The very thing that you are trying to attain, you’re
actually pushing away FURTHER by doing this to yourself.
So I am here to tell you that you are beautiful.
And that doesn’t mean something on the outside.
That doesn’t mean that you have the perfect thighs, the
perfect THIS, the perfect THAT. ‘Cause there is no
perfect!
There is no such thing as perfection; it does not exist.
What I am telling you is that you are beautiful just the way you
are inside.
You are amazing the way that you are.
But you will never be that until you let go, until you let go of
this fantasy of becoming thin.
Because YOU are enough. You’re enough for me, and
you’re enough for all of the other people out there that
have the right perspective.
They
don’t deserve your attention, and they certainly
don’t deserve your time and your effort
Because YOU are good enough. You are enough, and if you
can’t tell yourself that, I will keep telling you that YOU
ARE ENOUGH.
I don’t care if you’re 100 pounds, or 200 pounds, or
300 pounds, it doesn’t matter.
I want you to take care of yourself. I want you to love you and
BE you. Be the best you you could possibly be, and that
doesn’t mean being skinny.
That doesn’t mean ANY of it.
Right now, I know you’re going through a lot.
Right now, I know you feel alone, like you’re never gonna
be good enough for anybody, like you’re just the ugly, fat,
worthless one.
But let me tell you something....
You’re not. You’re not. You are enough.
Please, if you are struggling with the obsession of being think,
with the obsession of being skinny, get help. Talk to someone,
please.
There is so much hope for you, SO MUCH hope for you, but you have
to let go of it, you have to accept help.
It’s really, really hard, but it’s worth it because
YOU are worth it. You deserve to be better, and you deserve to be
happy.
And there isn’t anyone in the world that can tell you
differently.
You are enough.
Remember that. Remember that
you’re not alone, and you are enough.
Just remember.
I think you are beautiful.
I think you are made for more than you settle for, and you are,
you are enough.
