MY RANT

Ok so I feel like my first post should let you know the basic of my thoughts and views. I love me! There was no one before me, there is no one like me, and there will be no one after me! This is way I live my life for the most part and the approach I feel more people should take. In today's society people care way to much about what the hell other people think and what others have to say. Part of the reason I took a class on Body Image is because I have had my on struggles (and still struggling, please believe me) but I wanted to understand how other people view themselves as well.I mean I know I am not the only one who thinks that I am the only one dealing with BS. The way I see it though is that you gotta do you! I am a big girl, at least I consider myself to be, most people like to affectionately refer to me as "thick", that the nice way of saying I got a fat ass and big breast. So I have a special love for "thick" girls I think we are the best thing since sliced bread, but I do NOT go out of my way to make "skinny" chicks feel bad. Cause like I said I think you should do you!
The problem, however, is that society is telling everybody, especially women how to "do" them and it is driving people down right crazy. Women and girls are more emotionally unstable then they have ever been and as much as part of me would like to say it's a problem of weak minds, I've been there and the issue is deeper. I was told all my life that I was pretty, lucky, or that most girls wished they where me (by the way I'm convinced not conceded in case your were wondering, you better ask somebody) and I still ended up with an eating disorder and self-esteem issues. Needless to say I've worked through most of them, but it scares me everyday to think how easy it is to fall back into those habits. To mistake my working out to be health for working out to fit some photoshopped "idea." So....the motto is "Do you!" Like Money Mike said, "haters gone hate...let them (n's) hate!"
