I hate this word.

I hate the word "fat".

There is no such thing as "fat". You cannot be fat. You can be unhealthy.



I hate seeing girls think that they're fat. It makes me so sad, to see girls so worried about being thin, skinny, bony, model-like, whatever. I've been "thin" all of my life. That's just how I was genetically wired. I was a bean pole until about 17, I gained 20lbs in a year. I have been called skinny, slim, and scrawny. And you know what? That isn't so great either. I often felt like I made those around me feel bad about their bodies.

We need to stop making comparisons. God made each and every one of us different and unique. We're different, because if there was an exact copy of us, why would we be here?

Stop making body comparisons. You do not need to look like a model, you do not need to look like your friend, older sister, or that cool lady down the street. You should look like you, whatever your healthiest version is.

I do NOT want to hear about how you've lost weight if you're already young and healthy. It's not ok, I cannot stand seeing already slim girls worry about a number. Unless your DOCTOR tells you that you should lose weight to be healthier, don't try to.

Aim for health, vitality, well being, not being 115lbs.

Oh, and fellas, this applies to you too. Except, it seems boys are more concerned with muscle mass. You do not need to work relentlessly to achieve 6 pack abs. It doesn't impress us.


Be healthy, be the best that God and your genetics allow you to be. Stop worrying about what other people say.
