Kat from Germany (who is in treatment for an eating disorder) wrote, “A few weeks ago I wrote "You are beautiful" on a note, and wanted to leave it in a fellow patients room on my in-patients’ ward. The girl who lived inside that room really IS beautiful. On morning during weight and vitals, I sneaked into her room and searched for a place to leave the note. I decided to place it on her mirror in the bathroom, since she absolutely WOULD see it. I opened the bathroom door and didn’t place my note on the mirror because I stumbled across her (forbidden!!!) scale. Instead on putting it on the mirror I lay the note on her scale, and sneaked out. I hope it made her think for a second.”
Mariah wrote, “These pictures are from a trip I was taking. I was on my way home from North Carolina, and I left these on my seat, and in the magazines in front of me. I hope that the next person who sat there felt blessed by these notes.”
Courtney wrote, “I was walking to class and saw one on the map of our school. I was running late, stressed, and in a hurry, but seeing the post-it really made my morning. It turned my day around. I also saw one in the bathroom later! Two in one day! I’m planning on making some and discreetly placing them around tomorrow. I want to help spread the love!”
Sara saw this video on YouTube and loved it!

Men love Operation Beautiful too! Alex posted this note and then sent the picture to every girl in his e-mail contacts. He said he got a lot of “Alex, you made my day!” messages in return.

No matter what it is, it’s a beautiful message in a beautiful location.” (Note: these stickers are actually from the You Are Beautiful site.)

kudos to Alex, all of the posts are seriously so sweet, but the one from Alex made me smile the most, the fact that a guy can get off his high horse and tell girls they are beautiful not hot, sexy, etc. etc. really shows there are some good ones out there. Thank you Alex. (:
Oh my gosh!! That’s my video!
I made that a couple weeks ago, I didn’t think anyone would think to send it in.
Whoever you are Sara, thank you so much!
