Accepting Yourself

There's something I need to address. Nobody is 100% confident in themselves. If you are, good for you, because you're everyone's goal. It really upsets me how much the media focuses on how your body looks and what you weigh, and this is rubbing off on the general public. I can say that I'm fed up with it - you are as much of a real human with super muscly arms or no thigh gap as you are with bony hips and a thigh gap. Me saying it doesn't make any difference, but it's something I'd really like to see change.

"Pretty Food"? Too many people have the impression food that keeps you slim and beautiful tastes of cardboard and has zero calories.. foods that nourish you aren't like skinny pills. Foods that keep you looking and feeling beautiful aren't jam-packed with chemicals that make it low-fat or sugar free. Those ingredients are devoid of pleasure.

It's hard to find the balance between feeling good about yourself and feeling overly confident. Likewise, feeling crap about yourself and your body is awful. don't get me wrong - I'm not 100% confident with myself. At all. But it's so important to try and be happy with yourself, or find someone else to help you.

If you're looking for something that you can escape with to give you a new perspective, yoga is perfect. Don't judge it by what you see on tv, just try it.

I've never been bullied about my weight, but I have seen other people go through it and it makes me incredibly angry. This can lead on to more physical and mental problems than you can possibly imagine. 1.6 million people in the UK suffer from eating disorders. Doesn't that make you feel sick? The fact that so many people feel so uncomfortable with themselves, they'd rather deny food, starve for weeks, risk their friendships, or die, than be who they are? Society is vicious. Please, don't get sucked in.

You are beautiful and you are worth it.
