I overheard a conversation between two friends at school today.
One was saying how she was too fat for her own liking.
The other said she secretly takes her mother's pills and puts them in her drinks to lose weight.

Look.
Taking pills isn’t a good way to lose weight.
Especially if you’re stealing them from your parents.
That’s just completely idiotic.

It’s also idiotic that the first girl said she was “too fat”.
People today, especially women, think they have to be top notch for a person to like them.
I know you’ll hate to hear this but, you don’t!
You don’t want to be like the models who purposely make themselves sick.
You don’t want to be a person who always lets themselves down.
You don’t want to be that person who rarely eats then have a chance at death…
Just because you’re “too fat”.

It’s ridiculous that people have to be just the right size to have somebody love them.
Or because others can’t see your ribs means you’re not skinny enough.

Be happy with who you are.
Why should you let somebody ruin your life with lies?
The lies that tell you, “Oh! You’re too fat.”
Or my favorite, “You should go get sick to make yourself skinnier. It’ll help.”
Please don’t be that person that let’s lies ruin you.

I’m telling you what I think.
I’m letting you know my opinion.
I want every single girl, women, man, boy, or child in general to tell themselves -- right now…

“I’m beautiful even if others think I’m fat.”
“I will never take diet pills to lose weight just to impress people.”
“I will never encourage others to get sick to lose weight.”
“I will never, ever forget to tell myself that I’m beautiful just how my body is…”
