Drink the Kool-aid!

I may not be thin, but I am beautiful. Tonight Karl told me that to be pretty you have to be thin. People like this along with the media, are why so many girls around this world hate themselves. Or the reason so many girls have body issues. I may not be a size 6 or whatever is considered thin these days but I know I'm beautiful, and the only time I EVER doubt myself is when people make stupid remarks like he did tonight. I have great hair nice eyes, and killer boobs. I also have a belly but I dont care I emphasize the good things about myself, and I forget about the rest.
I'm not saying I don't want to lose weight or I think that I couldnt be healthier because the fact is I really could be, but I'm not going to agonize and break my back over it. In fact I even work out :O, I also try to eat smaller portions and healthier at least since I have moved back home. I grew up in a home where I was made to feel bad about my size, and I didnt have very high self-esteem, but I realized as I got older that you can't rely on other people to make you feel good about yourself. But tonight I let him get to me.
I guess all I really wanted to say is you shouldnt ever let anyone make you feel like you aren't beautiful, because as jessie put it, Beauty isn't about size. I hope that some other person reads this and understands how I felt tonight. I also want to let that person know that regardless of what anyone else says, you do have good qualities its not about fat or thin or anything else. Love yourself and then love others.
