Eating disorders and insecurity on Tumblr

I hate how eating disorders like Anorexia, Bulimia and being underweight are glorified on tumblr and other sites like this. I also want to make it clear that I do acknowledge the appreciation for chubby girls on this site. Being a girl who has never had a flat stomach or toned thighs I appreciate this a lot. I’ve found it has done a lot for my self image and confidence. It makes me sad to see girls, like me or not like me at all feel as though to be beautiful and healthy you have to be thin and fat-less. I’d also like to point out that I know that being “thin” isn’t necessarily healthy or unhealthy and the same goes for being chubby. The thing is, you are probably healthy the way you are. The way you are is probably how your body needs to be and wants to be naturally and it is beautiful. Whether you are a size 6 or a size 26, Your body is yours and no one else’s and that makes it gorgeous. Embrace your image. You are not flawed. Society makes you feel this way because it glorifies the thin. The Majority of girls do not look like the girls in the magazines and movies. I feel like we are being made to believe that being thin means you are healthy but being thin can often be unhealthy in different ways. Yes, It is important to eat healthy food and be active but don’t think that because you are not a size 2 that you are unhealthy or wrong. You are just as normal as the next girl, who is gorgeous by the way.
You are all beautiful, No matter how thin or chubby you are. You are a woman, with soft skin and delicate curves. Beautiful eyes and nice lips. You have hips that will one day, If you want, help bear children. Children who may themselves feel insecure about their body that is “too thin” or “too big”. Will you tell them they are beautiful? They will be to you. No one will ever think so more than you. Their beautiful body will come from your beautiful body. You have a body someone else wants. So why not want it yourself?
This is me, this is my body. It’s not what you see in magazines or on the cat walk, It’s what you see in the supermarket or at the beach. It’s real and I like it. It’s mine.
Of course, I am only human and have moments of insecurity. But the fact of the matter is that this is me, And I am beautiful the way I am.
If you agree with what I am saying I ask you to please reblog this. I want as many insecure girls to read this in hopes that this will make them feel better about themselves.
