I've been avoiding this website
Ever since the Lie to Me news I just couldn't look at anything but for some reason I went back to twitter and tumblr but not eljay. Plus eljay seems to be under siege half the time anyway.
Hooooowever xfirefly9x poked me (weeksssss ago) so instead of posting this on tumblr it will go on here.
I'm 5'3" and a half and I weigh 110 pounds the last time I checked.
I don't weigh myself every day. I don't diet. I don't obsess over "eating right." I eat when I'm hungry and I stop when I'm full. I actually read an article once about how skinnier people don't have food guilt; meaning, I don't feel guilty leaving food uneaten and when I'm full I stop. I don't like the feeling of having over eaten.
Why am I even talking about this? I was in a wedding. One of my best friends got married and asked me to be a bridesmaid. The bridesmaid dress was a strapless, floor length dress from David's Bridal and to everyones glee it looked good on every bridesmaid, not just a few of us.
Even though I wasn't the shortest bridesmaid I did have the smallest size dress. One of my other best friends was also a bridesmaid. She's at least a few inches taller than me and is on a swim team and rides horses every weekend; let's just say she definitely has more muscle mass than me and yet when she heard my dress size it upset her. She didn't say anything to me but our moms talk and my mom let me know.
All I wanted to do was hug her and tell her that she is so beautiful and perfect just the way she is but not wanting to embarrass her I didn't say anything.
Fast forward to the wedding (I make sure my insecure friend knows that she looks absolutely gorgeous) I know the girl taking photos but haven't seen her in a while and so during the reception she says, "Yeah I haven't seen you in a while, you've lost weight." I looked at her like she was crazy and quickly told her that it must just be the dress or something because I haven't.
Then the next day someone else who was at the wedding tells me that I'm too skinny and I should eat more.
Unless you are seriously concerned for my health, just keep it to yourself or tell me in private, not where anyone can hear you.
I'm not sure where I was going with this rant but suffice to say people come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and you should never compare yourself to someone else. Just be the best you, you can be.
