I just came across a blog as I was searching through pictures {I won't give a name} and I am absolutely horrified by the content on it.
I know that people have body issues, and many people don't have much self confident, but this blog took things to a new level.
Someone who is so disgusted with the way they look and their weight, has a blog dedicated to becoming skinny. Not just losing weight, but becoming stick thin. I get that for some people this is a real issue. But it is also something that is a huge problem in society.
This person feels so uncomfortable with themselves, that it seems they are dedicating their life to losing weight. The blog is overrun with pictures of girls who have bones sticking out all over the place, and quotes about not eating.
Something needs to be done to help people who feel there is no way they can be happy unless they are skinny. If you are in the same frame of mind, please know that you are beautiful no matter what size you are!!
Yes - I want to lose weight, but no I don't make my life revolve around it, nor do I feel I can't be happy if I'm not skinny.
It makes me so sad to see people who are so unhappy with the way they look that they will do anything to change it. What makes me even sadder is when it is people younger than me {I am only 21 after all} it really shows how much of an influence the media has on young girls.
I wish there was something I could do, I mean really do. And I am by no means trying to hurt anyone's feelings, these are just my honest opinions.
So, as I go to eat a piece of my chocolate {not really, but I was earlier}, I will spare a thought for the people who feel they can't eat it {even one little piece} and hope that one day, they will feel beautiful again, with whatever size they are.

This makes me sad. :( You can be beautiful and not be skinny. It is possible, yes it's good to be healthy and fit but your life doesn't need to revolve around it. Especially to the point where bones are sticking out.
