We are taught to shrink ourselves so we can be smaller. We are taught that not eating

is the new trend. We are taught that the skinnier, the better. Taught to starve

instead of eat, but who are they to tell us what or how to eat? But

who would listen to these cruel words of society? But who is

society to tell us to choose an extra small over a large? We

strive to be a certain size. We strive to fit into skinny

jeans. We strive to be the most beautiful. But what

even is the right size? But what do skinny jeans

mean? But what does pretty entitle you? We

believe that heavy is ugly. We believe that

being whalelike is unattractive. We

believe that if you are obese, you

will not go far in life...because

of how you look. But why

do look define you as

a person? But why

do people judge us

based on what is

portrayed on

the outside?

But why

does your

body type

determine

how you

live your

life
?
