My Mission To Change
Welcome to my blog. I am hoping my followers that I gain will enjoy the humor and seriousness of being a young overweight girl just trying to make it in this crazy world full of judgement.
Why do you want to change? The media has taught women to believe that the only thing they will ever be valued for is their body. We are taught that the only important thing we have is our looks...our outward appearance. And that the only acceptable way to look is like the air-brushed models and celebrities we see in movies, tv, magazines, etc. And if we cannot fit into these IMPOSSIBLE standards, we are ugly and fat and worthless. and nobody will ever like us. Why do you want to be thin? Do you think people will like you more? I doubt it. Do you think you will be taken more seriously? Certainly not! And if people treat you differently for these reasons, they are NOT good people. I understand wanting to be healthy...but you have already lost quite a bit of weight, appear to be at a healthy spot right now. Your body is beautiful...you shouldn't have to change it to try to fit into society's fucked up ideals of what it means to be a woman. By letting yourself be influenced by the media, you are in a sense perpetuating the system. I don't know if what I'm saying makes any sense. But I, too, went through a process to lose weight. And once i got down to my goal weight of 115, I STILL hated my body. I STILL wasn't good enough for society. I think people even take me less seriously now that I am more similar to what mainstream society sees as 'attractive.' It was through feminism that I learned to accept my body and reject the ideals of the mainstream. Maybe I sound like a crazy radical, but I want to encourage you to check out some feminist blogs and maybe read up on a little feminist literature. I can say first hand that my life and my body image has improved IMMENSELY. I am happy with myself. I learned how to love my body. I learned how to develop normal, healthy eating patterns: not to lose weight but to be kind to my body. SOO yeah. It's your body, you can do WHATEVER you want. But I personally don't think you need to be thinner to be happier.
OH, and one more thing. In your description you say, "I am on a mission to change and create a whole new me!" I think instead you should make it your mission to change what the definition of "beautiful" and create a whole new WORLD. Much love, remember you are beautiful and worth so much more than the number on your scale or the tag of your jeans.<3
I am DYING to know who this is! Who are you? Because you're really inspiring. I'm doing this for me. I want to feel better in my skin. I love me, but I want to create and even better me. I think I'm helping others as well and am inspiring which makes this whole mission worth it. Thank you to whoever this is. But, this is for the best. And what I'm doing is worth everything to me.
