I have struggled with my weight my whole life. Up and down, and down and up. That is the story of my life. I have heard so many times, ”You have such a pretty face!”, and every time I hear it i want to scream!

I believe that so many girls, especially younger girls these days, are struggling with their body image. Everywhere you turn there is talk about a celebrity gaining a few pounds and the tabloids exaggerating it beyond belief. Why aren’t curves acceptable? So many girls these days are hurting their bodies in an attempt to fit in and it’s scary. I don’t have kids yet, but do plan to some day, and I’m so worried about what they will endure if they become overweight.

I believe that there is nothing wrong with having a few curves. Why should there be? If you are healthy and manage to have a booty on top of that, then whats the problem? You don’t have to be a size 2 to be beautiful. Every person is made individually, and every person was made to be their own person.

Be you. Be who you are. Embrace your true self and don’t try to be just like the next girl on the cover of a magazine.
