Due to excessive boredom, and wanting new friends, I stumbled upon this community. That's when I started to get into my surfing mode. It's where I would find myself randomly clicking on links, eventually coming to a conclusion, or ending up on something highly interesting that I'd probably be poring over for an hour or so. Basically I found a community here in Blurty with girls (yea, most of them are about 14) helping each other with their eating disorders... helping each other become as thin as possible.
There's this young lady who seems to take whatever her boyfriend tells her, in terms of girl preferences, too literally. Well, let's just say her boyfriend (He's actually helping her to get to 100 pounds!) told her that he likes these two celebrities and she basically freaked out because she's not as thin as them. I have dated a man that loved a model's physique (yea, I wonder why he dated me) and found him browsing model websites on the internet. Needless to say, I felt like a whale so I do understand where that girl is coming from. Women are constantly plagued with their weight and the men in their lives aren't helping them at all. They say they love how they are while they yell catcalls when their favorite celebrities come on TV or drool over them in men's magazines or jack off to their favorite porn star. And they wonder why girls do these to themselves?
I am also a victim of comparing myself to someone I thought was far prettier than me and this was probably caused by all those times people have put me down. But I don't blame them at all, I blame myself for listening to them. I just wished I was strong enough then as I am now so I could have blocked all those negativity.
I just hope these girls would see the light. You shouldn't do it to look like someone else or for someone else. Love yourself, girls! Love your curves, shake what your momma gave you.
This saddens me... *munches on candy-coated m&ms* =P
