Do what and who you want. Calories won't kill but eating disorders will.
Flat belly, skinny thighs,
Very easy on the eyes.
Knees together, thighs apart
Figure that could break your heart.
Slim, skinny, small, petite
Like a feather on her feet.
Tiny waist, collar bones
Thinspo filling up her phone.
Knee socks, tiny dress
Hair up in a sexy mess.
This is ana, I know her well
She’s the one to whom I dwell.
Feet together, thighs apart. The collar bones are where we start. Count the ribs and feel the hips. That’s what makes us skinny, bitch.
I REALLY need a thinspo buddy.. I’m going down hill and I can’t control myself around food at this point.. 😩😩😩
Newsflash: healthy doesnt necessarily mean having body fat.
I know somebody in the army. He has like 3 percent body fat. Is he unhealthy? Hell no!
Do you think every single model from victorias secret has anorexia? No! If your bmi is too low, you can say bye bye to any hope of a job there.
PEOPLE CAN BECOME THIN AND NOT BUILD MUSCLE IF THEY HAVE THE RIGHT DIET AND EXERCISE PLAN.
PEOPLE CAN BE THIN AND LACK MUSCLE NATURALLY AND STILL EAT ENOUGH.STOP SHAMING THIN GIRLS WHO ARE BODY CONFIDENT FOR BEING UNHEALTHY OR EVEN ‘PRO ANA’
JUST BECAUSE A GIRL IS THIN IT DOESNT MEAN SHE IS UNHEALTHY.
(Also spreading this idea that you are unhealthy or look anorexic if you are thin to girls who are naturally thin and healthy is damaging. Guess what? Body shaming thin girls, thin girls with low body confidence and thin girls developing binge eating disorder is a real thing)
(Pro binge eating and telling thin girls who may already eat enough to ‘eat a cheese burger’ IS A THING AND IS A PROBLEM)
Bye.
Because when I was 13 years old, I was sent home for my tank top straps being a little too thin, but a boy could wear a Cool Story babe, Go Make Me A Sandwich shirt and not be looked at twice.
Because when I was 17 and I told a guy “No” and the next day the word tease was painted on my locker.
Because when I was 18 and just wanted to be friends, I was a bitch.
Because I feel the need to say “I have a boyfriend” instead of “No” because guys respect other men more than they would ever respect me.
Because society screams “don’t get raped” instead of “don’t rape”
Because I am scared to walk alone at 10 PM
Because being beautiful is the most important thing I’ll ever do.
Because when I wear my favorite skirt “I’m asking for it”
Because the song Blurred Lines exists
Because no means no no matter how you fucking spin it
Because a girl was drugged and raped with a beer bottle, and the boys who did it are out on bail.
Because I owe you nothingBecause pepper spray is a gift I receive yearly.
Because I am asked if I have a boyfriend more than I am asked about my mental health
Because my clothes say more about my consent then my mouth does.
Because the wage gap exists
Because “not all men are like that” is said way too often
ENOUGH ARE
Because I feel the need to say “I’m not a feminist but…”
Because I’m writing this fucking piece
Five years old: I wish to be a fairy princess.
Six years old: I wish to be a ballerina.
Eight years old: I wish for mommy and daddy to stop fighting.
Ten years old: I wish all the yelling would stop.
Twelve years old: I wish I was beautiful.
Thirteen years old: I wish I was thin.
Fifteen years old: I wish I would just die.
Sixteen years old: I wish he loved me.
Eighteen years old: I wish I loved myself.
The worst trick a childhood anxiety disorder pulls is, you spend your early years being applauded for being so much more mature than your peers, because you aren’t disruptive, you don’t want any kind of attention, you don’t express yourself, you keep yourself to yourself - this makes you a pleasure to have in class, etc etc - and you start to believe it’s virtue. But you’re actually way behind your peers in normal social development, and who knows if you can ever catch up.
Never heard a truer thing in my life.
holy shit wait you mean being just morbidly terrified of doing anything wrong ISN’T necessarily the same as being “well behaved?!”
Convenient children =/= healthy children
