i don’t need to, i’d like to. it’s a figure of speech. as for why, i’ve always been chubby and i’ve always wanted to feel like a pretty girl.

read what you just typed out loud and trust you’ll see you’re contributing to your own insecurities

I’ve already gone through this with myself and it’s no use. I will never ever feel pretty as long as I am overweight. I’m not saying overweight people can’t be beautiful, they definitely can. but for me personally, this is not what my body is supposed to look like. it’s not me. it’s not who i want to see when i look at myself

unfortunately when you look in the mirror, you see yourself. reality is harsh. you don’t look like the person you want to be, you learn to love the person you are. don’t get stuck on comparison, just take inspiration and then make it your own. also take a break from social media. it will help you define your own image instead of a huge blend of all the people you’re “supposed to look like”

i mean on a certain level i agree but I also think that when there’s things about ourselves that we can change, i think it’s okay to want to change them.

thank you too. I appreciate your outlook on body positivity. I know the way i think isn’t the healthiest and maybe one day I will be able to think differently, but it’s hard to break away from mindsets that have been so concrete in me ever since i was very young

i had a feeling it was something like that and i don’t think it’s okay to push your ideal and mindset unnecessarily onto others. i’m rooting for you on your journey and i hope you have a great day
