Ive said this before

Dear boys and girls, ladies a gents. I think what I am about to say I have a said a million times before but it is important.

I just want to remind each and every one of you that YOU ARE PERFECT THE WAY YOU ARE. It seems every single conversation i've had recently turns into one about weightgain, weightloss, diets, exercise, raspberry ketones, calories... It is genuinely breaking my heart to know that so many people feel that they need to lose weight or meet some sort of social constructed idea of healthy.

My heart honestly sinks when I hear someone talk about their body in a way that I would talk about mine because I know how much it hurts to be so disgusted with your body that losing weight seems like the most important thing in the world. I hate how so many I people I know cry over the number on the scale. An inanimate object, a piece of glass (or plastic) should not be the thing that determines how you feel about yourself. A clock is also plastic and shows numbers, you wouldn't let a clock affect you in such a way a scale does... it makes no sense.

Whether you are 4 stone, 14 stone or 40 stone the number should not change your worth as a human being. There is so much more to your life then stupid numbers and fad diets and trying to get skinny for summer. If you want to eat cake go a head and eat it and if you gain weight who the fuck cares. Anyone who cares about your weight does not care about you. You don't need to lose weight to impress anyone.

So please dear humans of the world can you all try to love yourself a little bit more and talk about weightloss a little bit less..
