BEAUTY?





I'm a big girl. I have been ever since my teens. I've heard over the years that I would be so pretty if I lost weight. I was just flipping the channels on the tv and on one of these channels was one of these new weight loss shows..The show is about, based on the title and my opinion, getting revenge on others by losing weight. This semi-quasi famous person was sitting there with an over weight woman and I literally heard her say ' but you have such a pretty face '. In this day and age you have this person who was considered over weight her whole life, now skinny, telling people that basically if they were to lose the weight they would be pretty. This demeans everything that we have all been trying to accomplish in size equality. We are trying to prove to kids nowadays that it doesn't matter what size you are, that you are beautiful no matter what. So you have this so called famous person putting the walls back up that we are trying to tear down. When are people going to realize that saying things like this is so damaging to young girls, it them makes think that because of their size that they are not beautiful. This is not true. Remember no matter what your size, color, age, you are beautiful. I hope at some point everyone will realize this.
