Yesterday, i bought GLAMOUR magazine for the second time. As i was reading through the magazine, somewhere it had mentioned http://www.operationbeautiful.com and i got my laptop out very soon after reading it and visited the site.
I personally, know that i am not fat. I dance, and eat well but at the same time, i am ALWAYS beating myself up about the way i look. I’m too soft, my eyebrows aren’t shaped enough, my skin has red marks [i shouldn't have picked at that zit!], your hair sucks, your boobs are too big it goes on and on. Even though i know all of this is a part of being 16, i can’t help but always compare myself to the airbrushed models in magazines like GLAMOUR.
It doesn’t help, being a dancer you are expected to be thin and muscular and have this perfect amazing body, and sometimes it hard to go to class and see stick figured girls that can dance like no other and not start to pick at yourself.
After reading about ‘Fat Talk’, i have been inspired to spread the website around school when it starts. I know for a fact that i am not the only one who is like this at school. My friends have sometimes expressed to me their insecurities about their bodies and or looks. It really is heartbreaking because i have known these girls since preschool and every single one of them is beautiful.
So i started to think, that i was going to change and stop fat talking and all of that jazz and help my friends to as well. I am going to stop saying ‘no way’ when my boyfriend calls me beautiful, i will look in the mirror and stop thinking, go to the gym. IM DONE. all thanks to this website.
I’m looking forward to spreading the word and have already posted the link as my facebook status. I just have to thank you. I have only read two articals and i feel so much better about myself. (:
love Glenna.
