Stop Hating Your Body: The Scale Does NOT DEFINE YOU!

stophatingyourbody:

*sigh* I just typed this whole long thing up, and tumblr logged me out and lost all of it -_-, so here it goes again!

I’m going to take you all back in time to a place called elementary school, a death trap filled with ignorance, arrogance and uneducated shit heads (pardon my french). I can…

Trigger warning Hallo, I’m Zannah. I’m an 18 year old female in MD,USA.  I am an only child born to older parents. I have never been beautiful,in my eyes. I have been made fun of since at least 4th grade. I have ADHD and I’m not always the fastest person in the world…. Sometimes I’m quite slow. At first,I’d be made fun of for being annoying or weird. Later,it was because they thought I was ugly. For a year,it was because I was flat chested,then I got made fun of for developing “bigger” then my classmates. In 7th grade I tried to kill myself for the first time.I didn’t suceed,and I didn’t get the help I needed. I struggled through 2 years of high school,with eating issues,cutting,and depression.  For my junior/senior year,I transferred to a Vocational school. I made friends quickly,and I felt much better. I had alot of boyfriends,and some VERY close friends.  I graduated in 2011. I did a semester of college then realized I wasn’t ready yet. Now,I’m 18.I’m unemployed,no schooling.I’m still not perfect. I still get depressed and I still have insecurity issues. But I’ll get better. I have the most AMAZING boyfriend,awesome friends,a supportive family,and the intelligence to go far. I love you Garrett. You have no idea how much you save me. I am wonderful. SHOWHERSHESWONDERFUL.TUMBLR.COM! SHARE YOUR STORY!

Hallo, I’m Zannah. I’m an 18 year old female in MD,USA. 

I am an only child born to older parents.

I have never been beautiful,in my eyes. I have been made fun of since at least 4th grade. I have ADHD and I’m not always the fastest person in the world…. Sometimes I’m quite slow.

At first,I’d be made fun of for being annoying or weird. Later,it was because they thought I was ugly. For a year,it was because I was flat chested,then I got made fun of for developing “bigger” then my classmates.

In 7th grade I tried to kill myself for the first time.I didn’t suceed,and I didn’t get the help I needed.

stophatingyourbody: One thing that I don’t think is preached about enough is LOVE. We can try to love our bodies. We can try to love our  personalities. We can try to love our hips and buts and tummies… But we can’t truly love any one part of us unless we love each other and send love out into the world. When you bring positivity into your life no matter how hard it may be at first, you notice a change. The world has a new flare that you didn’t see when it was masked by sadness and negativity. Take hold of your live, make changes and LOVE!!! - Katie (awonderinthetardis.tumblr.com)

You are BEAUTIFUL you are REAL!

You are beautiful. You are real.

I’m glad something that has meant a lot to me for so long is now gaining more awareness.

Opening my dashboard to see fleets of posters promoting REAL equality.

It has been a struggle trying to get people to see their hypocrisy let alone to listen as people think you’re just bragging about being thin if you even question the ever so popular ‘’real women have curves’’ slogans that are thrown around on a whim.

What people don’t realize when they say ‘’real women’’ is they are disregarding a large chunk of the population who are smaller than a 12 and shoving them into a category where they are forced to believe they are unwanted and even unachievable. They are healthy girls who are living proof the size they are is achievable but the media is so all-consuming it forces them into self loathing and doubt.

ALL women are REAL. One sided campaigns like this bully girls into believing they aren’t desirable or beautiful – which is something every girl should feel.

Nobody should be made to feel ugly because it sticks. I know first hand just like millions of girls all over the world, how it feels to be broken down by other peoples opinions. Opinions that aren’t filtered by common sense but spat out without a care or a thought for the feelings of the other person.

It’s not just women it’s men to. Who are these people to tar all men with the same attractions? ‘’Men don’t like sticks’’ is just as bad as ‘’men don’t

like fat girls’’ but in today’s society it’s acceptable to encourage obesity and unhealthy weights as long as anyone over a size 10 feels comfortable. But if a perfectly healthy girl is size 8 or under they are automatically deemed anorexic, not wanted and disgusting. Some smaller girls have even turned to bashing their own body size because this opinion is so widely valued.

We should be promoting awareness about eating disorders not encouraging some and belittling others. Does nobody care about anybody’s health anymore? – Of course not! We’re too busy smothering ourselves in fakery and shields of faces that aren’t our own, but something the media has told us to be.

You are NOT a product of society, you are a tribute to yourself, your loves, your likes, your morals, your values.

You are a beautiful woman, because you are a woman.

You should love your body, because even though you think it’s something undesirable, and you’ve heard countless people say ‘’it’s the only skin you get’’ they’re right. I know it’s hard to believe right now, but they’re right.

When you’re 85 and sat at home looking at pictures from your childhood, you’ll wonder why you spent all these hours worrying about how good you looked before you went to school and not worrying about how fun the journey could be.

Or how you spent so much time before college and work preparing to be seen by normal people just like you. Worrying about opinions instead of taking in life as it should be… Amazing.

Take in knowledge and not hatred, learn new things, find new friends and forget the people who take the time to hurt you. They’ll learn. And your sizes will be in the shops again because there will be no fear of offending one set of people.

Pinch yourself.

Did it hurt? Did you feel it?

You’re real.

You don’t need to prove it.
