The less time that I spend on the scale or in front of the mirror, the less power I give to those things. I used to have a full sized mirror in my room and I would stand in front of it criticizing myself. Now that the only full length mirror is in the living room that I share with my roommates, I spend a lot less time obsessing in front of it. Not having a scale in the apartment also allows me to focus on my overall health and lifestyle rather than a number on a scale. I don’t weigh the same as I did when I was in high school and at the back of my mind, I want to go back to that number. But in retrospect, I wasn’t satisfied with that number. I was never satisfied with the number that showed up on that scale.
What does that say about body image? It’s always more about your mind than your body.

texts “In Honour of Bare Legs ( if you want to have them )
It’s okay to have long legs, or short legs, or thighs that touch at the top, or hairy legs, or mottled skin, or knoggly knees, or cellulite, or scars, or stretch marks.
Don’t let the beauty standard give you more things to hate about yourself. Perfect is a social construct. Hot weather isn’t.”]
Haha, I love the last two sentences. - Sam

Yes!! You don’t need to look for love from without, look for it within.

I feel tired very easily and I think I love my bed a bit too much :/ I don’t know what it is but I have had to take in energy syrups supplements to boost my energy levels. No matter how many hours I sleep I end up feeling fatigued, especially during the summer time.
Can anyone relate?
I don’t understand your explanation…
Exactly! It’s sad because they do not realise that it can be a concern and deep insecurity for many girls.
That’s the way it is these days! Facebook groups are worse.
You need to build up your own confidence. And seriously, you are a 21 year old beautiful woman. You are mature and strong enough to stand up for yourself. As you grow older there are some things that you realise that you need to stop. Those comments can be stopped but they won’t be stopped if you remain complacent and do not stand up for your fast metabolism. Because the truth is, many people believe that skinny girls eat less. That’s the case! So it’s time for you to tackle the ignorance and explain your fast metabolism to them. Trying to overcome their negative remarks will be futile if they continue to be made, especially when they are made by your family that you will always see yourself around with. You cannot get rid of your family, but you can atleast try to get rid of their misconceptions about your eating habit and body shape. Speak!
