Ht. 5'4", Wt. 180 - hey. this is a note. for all the people who have been called names. for all the people who have not fit into a large socker jersey or prom dress. to all the people who have not been there true selves because of feeling unconfident. to all the people who have gone on fad diets. who have strarved themselves. CHEERS! We have all realized we're never going to be happy, or have dates or lots of friends. But thats not true. Maybe we're the ones who are messing it up. instead of trying to be bff's with the most popular girl in school, look around at the person in band, they could be just as funny, or popular. I'm just saying I used to think if I lost weight, I'd be perfect, get A+ naturally, get invited to tons of partys .you know be the all -american student. But maybe I can have that, now .even though im 30 pounds overweight. well I tried, instead of searching up new fad diets, i studied. I got an A-. I wanted to get invited to parties, I threw aa chess club party, it was a blast! okay , so even you might think im a loser. but I am perfect. my own special perfect. I just want everybody to know, If you lose weight, that's great! but life goes on being 30 pounds heavier.And life goes on even when nothing is right.YOU'RE ALL PERFECT!
Reply from Isabella, Age 13 - 01/12/07 - IP#: 72.94.76.xxx YES! YES! FINALLY SOMEONE GETS WHAT I'VE BEEN THINKING ALL ALONG! When I was 184lbs I thought if I was 130 then my crush would magically swoon for me and other people would start to notice me more too. But you know what, the good vibes you put yourself into when you loose weight to GET HEALTHY, NOT SKINNY, make you more confident, PERFECT AND BEAUTIFUL, and more attractive because of that. I totally agree. Go for that A+ (I already have the grade part down and you need to study believe me, LOL), you can certainly all that life has to offer. Remember none of us are even 20 yet! I like to remember some Hilary Duff lyrics, "I am special, I am BEAUTIFUL, I am powerful and wonderful, unstoppable; sometimes I'm miserable, but that's so typical, because that's who I am!"
Reply from Alicia, Age 14 - 01/11/07 - IP#: 71.34.230.xxx I totally agree, I used to think if only I could lose 50 pounds I'd have the hottest football player boyfriend or if I was skinny I'd magically have thick hair. But I know that when I continue being healthier I will feel better and my mood will change. I am hoping to meet more people and carry myself with confidence. Hehe, the point is I loved your post. And thanks I needed to hear you're perfect. And so are you! :)
