Shut Up And Eat That Slice Of Cake

Do you know what I'm tired of?

I mean besides Kanye West being SO love with himself.

Body-hate, more importantly self-body-hate. I like to scroll though Pinterest, mostly looking a bands and stupid cartoons but every once in awhile I stumble upon a post with a caption like "OMG I'm so ugly." under a size 0 model who works for American Eagle. It gets very depressing sometimes, but before I go on let me make a couple of points.

1: Everyone is a different size and shape. Some people are a natural size 0 and some are a natural size 20, no biggie. We are all made a certain way. Don't judge someone just because of their waistline and don't hate yourself because you're not a size 0. The average size for a woman in America is 14, and these stupid body challenge fad are so immature and just ridiculous, I mean the bully button challenge? Do they not realize how much science has to be involved in order for your fingers to even reach half-way to your stomach. It's really stupid.

2: Don't judge someone. You're a size 12, she's a size 6. Big whoop.  If you're at a healthy BMI then you're are fine. You're growing up, you're body hasn't even finished maturing so what you look like as a teenager doesn't mean you're staying that way at twenty. Quite bringing someone down because of their body size, some are naturally curvy and others are slim.

3: Don't even think about it. Don't starve yourself to be a certain size. Starving or vomiting isn't going to make everything okay, instead it's going to give you future health issues and make it harder as an adult to lose weight because you're body is going to store every little bit of fat it can in order to keep you alive.

That being said I know how to difficult it is to be happy about how you look all the time, in fact I'm probably the least qualified person to be giving advice on this subject. It's alright to think you look like crap once in awhile, but don't think it everyday because hating yourself is going to hold yourself back from being what you what to be and achieving what you want to do. You're beautiful, you're smart, you're talented. Plus you're so used to seeing your features that you have absolutely no idea how you appear to a stranger. So shut up with your destructive words.
