You don’t have to look like anybody else for any reason. There no such thing and the “perfect body” or “perfect face” or whatever. There will be many people who will pick out flaws in you, no matter what you look like. Whether you see it or not, what makes you beautiful is not having a certain look, it’s realizing and embracing everything you are. The world needs uniqueness, so why take that away by trying to be someone else ? 

I can’t stand her stupid weight watchers commercial playing every 10 minutes. I hate weight loss commercials to begin with, but her’s are especially annoying. It’s not simply the fact that she used to be a big girl and lost weight that bothers me. It’s the fact that she use to claim that she would not conform to the Hollywood standard of beauty claimed she believed that she was beautiful.

But eventually she thrown all of that out of the window and now she can’t get enough out of telling people how important weight loss is. She’s proudly telling the world that she has abandoned her old beliefs and is now a part of an industry that thrives on making people feel like they’re not good enough and profiting of their insecurity. The weight loss industry doesn’t truly care about people’s health. They just care about finding new ways to make us all feel like crap so that we would buy their products and feed their greed. I change the channel every time those weight loss commercials come on.

What annoys about a lot of celebrities who lose weight is how they flaunt the fact that they lost weight. Take the singer Jordin Sparks, for example. She too was on the bigger side and she would tell people that she was beautiful and believes that you don’t have to be skinny to be beautiful. What does she do then? Loses the weight and posts a picture of her new body in a bikini for the word to see. Perhaps I shouldn’t be blaming this entirely on the before-mentioned celebrities. Hollywood’s simple minded push to make the world believe that skinny is the only way to be beautiful and happy was probably a lot of pressure for these girls to bear.

Still, it’s a huge shame that they let themselves be influenced so heavily by society’s pressure to be as skinny as possible that they have abandoned the idea that people of every size can be beautiful and healthy. Jordin Sparks keeps flaunting her to make other’s see how much smaller her body is now and Jennifer Hudson keeps trying to lose as much weight as she can won’t shut up about it. Hollywood is in serious need of more people like Raven Symone. She’s skinnier now than she used to be, but she doesn’t brag about, doesn’t endorse any weight loss B.S., and most amazingly, she admits the only reason she lost the weight was because of Society’s pressure to be skinny. She may have lost her weight, but I believe she is still a strong supporter of loving your body and beauty coming in every size. Much respect to her.

I don’t care how many times you say you’re ugly, I’ll disagree. I don’t care how many times you say you’re a horrible person, I’ll say you’re wrong. I don’t if you tell me “I’m not beautiful” when I tell you that you are, I’ll still continue saying your beautiful. I don’t how much I well I know you, because I know that nobody deserves to hae themselves. Nobody deserves to be in pain. Nobody deserves to feel like they’re not good enough. People don’t tell you these things just to give you half hearted reasons to stop hating yourself, they tell you this because they honestly believe that. They tell you this to tell you know no matter what terrible think you’re thinking about, those thoughts are wrong. You may not believe the best about yourself, but others do and will not stand to tell you give up on yourself. 

You’re beautiful. You’ll always be beautiful no matter what your weight is. The way people treat others because of their size is ugly. You’re better than that. There’s nothing about you that you should be ashamed of, because you’re amazing and perfect the way you are. No matter how much some people want to enforce the idea that anyone is not skinny is ugly, I guarantee you there many, MANY people in this world who’ll disagree. Weight does not determine beauty. Just thought I’d tell you that. :D
