Pictures like this are part of the reason why i have to deal with 12 year old girls at work getting admitted to priory hospitals with eating disorders on a daily basis.
12 years old.
I know everyone bangs on about loving yourself and that you’re beautiful as you are etc, but the truth is we all have days where we feel like shit, where we look in the mirror and cry and deep down we all have those moments where we wish we were prettier, skinnier, smarter, taller, smaller etc because of this constant pressure to fit in with this ‘ideal’ that’s paraded in front of us.
It’s important to know that it’s normal to have insecurities, you aren’t any different to the rest of us who hate parts of ourselves. But we get over it, we focus on the things we do like about ourselves and the things that other people love about us.
Perfection does not exist.
It’s a myth and anything that comes even remotely close to any form of perfection was created by a cosmetic surgeon.
Fuck pictures like this. Fuck people who make you feel like you have to look a certain way to be beautiful. Fuck people who put others down because they’re insecure in their own skin.
It’s not about being skinny and it’s not about being curvy or anything in-between, it’s about being happy and healthy; being the correct weight for your height/body type but most importantly, being yourself and not giving a shit what anyone has to say about it.
Be proud of who you are and show em what you´ve got!
