If you’ve ever been told a unsolicited comment regarding your weight or body, than I need you to know that you are SO much more than your body. Don’t allow the opinion of someone with deep-rooted insecurities make you feel small. Don’t change yourself to please another. Don’t starve yourself of joyous food and lifelong memories because of what someone said. Don’t conform to unrealistic societal beauty standards to please them. These people have never done anything for you, but your body has. It has allowed you to feel joy and release sadness. It has housed your favourite foods and allowed you to grow and evolve. It has made your heart flutter. It has taken you on countless adventures and provided you with hundreds of org*sm*. So don’t let small-minded people make you question your worth. Or make you wait until you are thinner to start enjoying your life. Your body is not a before image. It is not in need of a transformation. It is not flawed or imperfect. It is perfect because it is yours. Your body is not the problem. They are. You’ve come too far to go back now. So keep living your real, raw, beautiful reality in your glorious body you watch as they stare in envy because they will never learn to feel at home in their bodies as you are learning to. As @thebirdspapaya said, “If someone tells you that you have weight to lose weight, they are the weight you need to lose”. Don’t let anyone control your happiness, and remember, your life’s already short enough. Don’t waste it worrying about what people think of you.
