Every day when I look in the mirror, I wish I was pretty. I wish I was skinny. I wish I didn’t have bags under my eyes and freckles across my nose because that’s not what beautiful is. I’ve tried so hard to be one of the pretty girls with their abs and straight hair, their never touching thighs and skinny waists. I cannot change myself no matter how hard I try. I nearly starve myself most days, only eating dinner so that my parents don’t get worried, yet I still gain weight. I don’t understand why when I eat half of a chicken breast with carrots and broccoli, I gain a pound and a half. If it wasn’t for my parents noticing, I wouldn’t eat at all. I’m too young for this. I’m too young to want to die because I don’t look perfect. I’m too young for the guys at work telling me to lose weight as I eat a small chocolate bar. I’m too young for all of this but it seems to be my whole life now.

ReplyYou are worthy of love, and to love yourself. You deserve to live your life for yourself and not for anyone else's standard of beautiful. Time is so precious in this world, we only have a few decades to really make things count. Life is too short to live obsessed with worrying what other people think of us, I promise you that doing this is a waste of time. Here is a video on the beauty of individuality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veEQQ-N9xWU Being yourself is enough, loving yourself is enough. I really wish you so much luck in your journey, I'm rooting for you.
ReplyDon't worry about your weight as long as you are healthy. It is your soul that matters not the way you look.
