Rant
I don't remember how but I started scrolling through fitness inspiration and stuff on Pinterest and I'm so ticked off by what I saw. It makes it look like anyone who isn't skinny or fit enough for society can't have fun or be proud of the body they're in. It's completely ok to want to work out, lose weight, and become more healthy, but it should be done for your health and most importantly, for you. A lot of the "inspirational" quotes I saw were "do it so people find you hot and are shocked" and "so you won't feel like the fat friend anymore"
Like??? Excuse me but if for some crazy reason people can't accept you because of something as trivial as your weight, you don't need such deadbeats in your life. You're beautiful no matter what you or anyone else thinks. Sometimes it isn't a matter of weight loss, but a matter of confidence. If your weight isn't dangerous to your health and you still hate it, you can either eat more healthy foods and take care of your mind and body, or learn to fall in love with how you already are.
And another thing. For Pete's sake, you don't need to be skinny to wear tight or revealing clothing. According to the "inspirational" side of Pinterest, you've got to lose the weight to "look good in jeans, shorts, crop tops, and tight clothes". No!! You really don't!! I swear it's all a matter of mind over body. You can look amazingly jaw dropping in anything you wear, regardless of your body type. You don't need to be a specific weight to be beautiful.
I have no idea how to be more confident since I'm not expert in this stuff, but you can look at things you like about yourself. Honestly there's something attractive in everyone, despite anything saying otherwise.
My point overall: you don't need to be skinny to love yourself. If you think you look good in something, wear it! Do what you want and how you want. To really love how you already are, do everything in moderation, sleep a proper amount and drink plenty of water. Surround yourself with people who love you no matter what and always remember, you are so much more than any negative thing people think about you.
