When my friend Cassie showed it to me, it was during one of my "Wow, you’re getting a little fluffy" days, and I just fell in love with it. I am so glad that Operation Beautiful is beginning to catch on, and more women can see that they are beautiful. I’ll admit that I trash my body sometimes, or I’ll make a rude comment about another girl, or even a guy [they also battle weight issues] and then regret it. For my senior year in high school, I plan to remind myself every morning that I am beautiful, and that my flaws are part of me, and I have to accept them. I want to stop bashing myself, and other people about how they look, and put myself in their shoes.”

It has a thick and thin Sharpie, 100 post-it notes total, and a list of some of my favorite quotes. These also include some quotes from the list at the end of the Operation Beautiful book! My school will be drowning in sticky notes!”
