When I was in high school I was on the other end of things and had people telling me I was too skinny and should eat food. Now I have people suggest diets that might help me feel a little better about myself. SERIOUSLY?! How does anyone think it's their place to give me advice like that? If I was looking for opinions I would definitely ask...ARRGGG....I am happier with myself now than I was when I weighed 100 lbs...<br /><br />You are beautiful.

I am someone who has always been way too hard on myself for my weight and appearance, always taking in the negative opinions of others. I am ashamed of the way I think about myself, and how awful I've been to myself for so long. But just reading your words and seeing how comfortable you are with yourself and how strongly you feel is really refreshing for me. I honestly have never seen a woman with such a positive attitude about herself before (which I guess also speaks to our society these days.) It is really making me think and reevaluate things. You probably can't stop the nasty attitudes of people out there, but I just wanna say that you have affected me and make me want to change my entire attitude of myself. :) ♥Lauranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840382153011642380.post-74558018018985375782010-11-13T10:01:35.345-06:002010-11-13T10:01:35.345-06:00WOW.

First of all, I love how they were so caring that they felt the need to remain anonymous (despite having lurked your blog for ages, apparently, to notice your weight change over a such a long period of time).<br /><br />I'm even more appalled that they felt they had a right to say <i>anything</i> about YOUR weight - and by comment, no less. Classy.<br /><br />To me, you've always come off as an active person who eats healthy and is upfront/content with her body type, WHATEVER it may be (an awesome example for your younger readers). <br /><br />But the bigger point here is that regardless of what we readers think we know about you via this blog, it's not anyone's place to butt in and judge.<br /><br />Anon could afford to quit looking at your thighs for a second and address her own insecurities.<br /><br />(Sorry for the novel!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840382153011642380.post-56348546269025524702010-11-12T13:01:28.554-06:002010-11-12T13:01:28.554-06:00I just have to throw in my 2 cents.
Especially on...I just have to throw in my 2 cents.<br /><br />Especially on these particular issues.<br />Weight.<br />Girl on Girl bullying.<br /><br /><br />My personal opinion on why girls feel compelled to focus on the weight of other girls is simply that they are victims to this criticism, themselves. Either internally, or externally.<br /><br />So when they see someone else who hasn't let this sort of abuse ruin or tarnish their self esteem, they envy it..and try to level them out with the same bullcrap they hear/say to themselves.<br /><br />It drives me up the wallssssssss when I hear beautiful girls pull themselves apart. No matter how much they weigh, how amazing their complexion is, how straight their teeth are, how great they put a look together, how smart or articulate they are...it has to come down to what size jeans they wear. <br /><br />Do you realize how NUTS that is?<br /><br />You're a beautiful girl. That's a DUH. But it's everything else about you...not your clothes..not your body type (but I do envy that waist line. You're built like a beauty.)...that keeps me coming back to read what you have to say.<br />You have a sweet disposition in every word you type out, and it's magnetic. I like nice girls...and girl, yous a nice girl.<br /><br />How come we can't give each other high fives, and cat calls? Why we be nasty and pretend to be sitting on a panel of judges?<br /><br />Hug yourself, anonymous.

Thinness does not automatically equal healthy. <br />I appreciate you posting this and being so straightforward in your reaction to the commenter. Weight and body positivity has been on my mind a lot lately for a variety of personal and health reasons - it's been resulting in lots of concern trolling in person too.

The biggest problem is that because of my delicious large hips they are always falling down!

Secondly, I think you look adorable in all the outfits you wear and you should never wear something you don't feel comfortable in. Lastly, we are all the same on the inside so I don't know why society these days is so concerned with the outside image. If you are a loving, healthy and happy human being then it shouldn't matter if people think your too fat, too skinny, too anything. Just be yourself and be happy with yourself and that is all that matters!Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04152509228698416413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840382153011642380.post-45687787861242922932010-11-11T14:18:44.107-06:002010-11-11T14:18:44.107-06:00i think you are a very cool gal and i love your si...i think you are a very cool gal and i love your sick tatts, the way you dress and what you blog about. people need to realize that if they don't have something nice to say, then they really shouldn't say anything at all! i love that you are constantly in dresses, you inspire me to wear them more often so THANK YOU!

Thank you for calling Anon out. I...Thank you lady! Thank you for calling Anon out. I would've done the same thing. The thing is, that society knows that the 105lb girl gets PS'd to look even skinnier. What they don't realize is that the 130lb girl ALSO gets PS'd. Sometimes to look heavier, sometimes to look curvier. As a fellow VisCom'er we understand that EVERY image in a magazine is edited in some way or another. I think that gives us a perspective that other people don't have. So as long as you feel happy and comfortable and love the way you look then some other person, who doesn't even have the balls to put a name to such a malicious comment, doesn't have the right to say anything. <br /><br />Just give'em the bird and don't think twice about it.<br />As they say, Hater's gonna hate.Amandahttp://lie.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
