Weight.

Today, girls who are practically sticks are considered more attractive than girls who have a bit of meat on them.

What's up with that?

Can't a girl be plump and gorgeous?

I mean, sure, being over weight is technically unhealthy, but so is being so skinny people in the grocery store wonder if you only eat celery. Or if you eat, at all.

Like, hey, it's not a bad thing to be skinny, and it's okay if you can't help but have a bit more meat on your bones, but really, sometimes I wonder if we can't meet in the middle.

Not so skinny that you look anorexic or you are anorexic, something I hope you aren't because it can kill you.

But just....well, normal, I suppose. Average weight for your age group, or height, that type of thing.

Don't let anyone tell you, how ever, that you need to be skinnier if you are already at the perfect weight for you. Because they're wrong.

Why be what society tells you?

You don't have to be a stick.

You don't have to have a head bigger than your waist.

You DO, however, need to love yourself.
