MOST OF ALL, this picture is for me. For the girl who hated her body so much she took extreme measures to try to change it. Who cried for hours over the fact she would never be thin. Who was teased and tormented and hurt just for being who she was.

I fucking hate when girls say "deal with it". There are thousands of girls more attractive than them within walking distance. My way of "dealing with it" is not talking to you anymore!

Girls like this feel like they're on top of the world only online because of lame asses sucking up to them. They get brought back down to reality real fast when they see a skinny girl outside of their gingerbread house.

WARNING: Picture might be considered obscene because subject is not thin. And we all know that only skinny people can
show their stomachs and celebrate themselves. Well I’m not going to stand for that. This is my body. Not yours. MINE. Meaning the choices I make about it, are none of your fucking business. Meaning my size, IS NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS.
If my big belly and fat arms and stretch marks and thick thighs offend you, then that’s okay. I’m not going to hide my body and my being to benefit your delicate sensitivities.
This picture is for the strange man at my nanny’s church who told me my belly was too big when I was five.
This picture is for my horseback riding trainer telling me I was too fat when I was nine.
This picture is for the girl from summer camp who told me I’d be really pretty if I just lost a few pounds
This picture is for all the fucking stupid advertising agents who are selling us cream to get rid of our stretch marks, a perfectly normal thing most people have (I got mine during puberty)
This picture is for the boy at the party who told me I looked like a beached whale.
This picture is for Emily from middle school, who bullied me incessantly, made mocking videos about me, sent me nasty emails, and called me “lard”. She made me feel like I didn’t deserve to exist. Just because I happened to be bigger than her. I was 12. And she continued to bully me via social media into high school.
MOST OF ALL, this picture is for me. For the girl who hated her body so much she took extreme measures to try to change it. Who cried for hours over the fact she would never be thin. Who was teased and tormented and hurt just for being who she was.
I’m so over that.
THIS IS MY BODY, DEAL WITH IT."
This is from the Facebook group "Humans of New York," and has gotten over 100,000 likes in 3 hours. The biggest disappointment, for me, is this was shared by an acquaintance who's a 19yo ballerina from Russia. I thought she'd be the last girl I'd hear about this from.
The girl in the photo explains that she has polycystic ovary syndrome, which causes insulin to rise, and makes it easy to gain weight. Yet despite her protests that she is healthy, and despite every article about PCOS urging that even a 5% drop in weight will vastly improve patient health, the healthiest activity she shows on her blog is... yoga.
