omg this is possibly the best thing that could have happened to international body image. i live in australia and there are even post it notes in the bathroom at our school. WE ARE BEAUTIFUL!
Wow. I’ve recently found 3 notes around my school, and it’s helped me emotionally with what I’m going through. You have touched many lives and this operation beautiful is amazing. This will change the world.
Last night my family and I were at a restaurant eating diner together when my son said he had to use the restroom. While in the bathroom I tried to keep myself from looking in the mirror (it makes me real depressed to see how much weight I’ve gained) but it did not work because while washing my sons hands I noticed something on the mirror it was a sticky note that said “when u smile u light up the world!” it also had this web address. what an AWESOME mission! It instantly made me feel good I can’t wait to participate and tell everyone I know its time we all start looking at ourselves in a positive way.
I so love this! I used to do stuff like this with stickers and graffiti when I was a young punk in the 80s. Now there will be so many more of us spreading the good word!
I’m 51 now, and am shocked to find myself struggling with new areas of self-body-part-hatred as I see signs of my aging. As a radical young punk, I never thought this would happen. The profiteers make tons of dough from our self-hatred, so we gotta keep fighting and loving ourselves, and each other!
I’m so glad someone is putting insparing post it notes on the walls and eveywhere else. At first I thought it was weird but I love it now. My friends are writing notes and putting them on walls and some on people to.
I went to my school today. And my friend asked me to help put up these sticky notes all around school and at the end of the day we had on in each kids locker:)
I am going to start doing this right away! I usually think I’m way too skinny and flat chested, and hated that i couldn’t do anything about it … but I fell great now!
Oh this is really neat! I am going to post some notes in the library books that I have. It’d also be neat to leave one in the Dr.’s office.. I bet they don’t get that very often!

I love what everyone is doing. I think it’s about time someone make a website like ths! And good song by the way!
I know how you feel gurl. I feel the same way.
i am honestly going to start doing this. it could save so many people from being bulimic, and anorexic! this is an amazing idea. so inspiring(:
Where else can I post notes other than bathrooms and books?
in movie theaters, on lampposts, on mailboxes, on the sidewalk in chalk, in the grocery store, in the gym, everywhere!
Okay! I’ll try it.
