Skinny girls are pretty too - Comments

this is why i fell in love with you. you're not afraid to show your true self and you don't care what everyone thinks about you. <3 <3 <3

It isnt appearance that makes somebody beautiful, sure that's what most people see, but who cares what they think! I have a sleeping disorder, so somedays I'll wont sleep at all, and will eat perfectly normal. Then another day I'll sleep all day and not eat at all. It isnt healthy, but I'm working on it.

I think all girls are beautiful no matter what their size is. Usually the only thing I complain about is when the curvy girls talk about wanting to be skinny and are:
1.) Doing no exercise and just complaining
or
2.) Trying to starve themselves to get there.

It's sad but considering my history I can't bash them for it and never plan too. Everyone is beautiful the way they are made, they just need to accept the beauty and move on.

This journal is great!
I'm always being told im too skinny, im thin yes but not anorexic
Its true that 'society'supposedly likes thin girls but nowadays its all about curves, like its the new 'trend'.
tbh, i dont care, im happy with myself

I would write out a long response, but I'm going to do a response journal instead.

I think skinny girls are beautiful, of course. It's just that society is more accepting of thin women and they get told they're beautiful much more often than bigger girls. This doesn't mean that thin girls can't be insecure or that they all feel gorgeous, it just means that bigger girls tend to be more insecure about themselves than thin girls.

There is no wrong or right way to look. As long as a girl is healthy and happy with herself, she is beautiful.

Can I just say right now that I love you? I'm really glad that you posted this. I respect your courage. And I'm the same way, I'm around 95 pounds and 5'3". Everyone used to say oh you're so skinny, there must be something wrong with you. Haha no...I mean I have a thyroid problem but that's not what is affecting my weight. I just have a fast metabolism. It's gotten better now, because well I guess it's more accepted to be skinny these days as we get older? I don't know. But yes, I agree it is great to post things about how girls who weigh a little more should be loved and not mistreated, but the same goes for the really skinny girls. Who says we don't get picked on? Cause I used to be all the time for it. I wasn't "Jules" I was "that really skinny girl." And when people who are overweight and get picked on say OH YOU'RE TOO SKINNY THAT'S WRONG. No. Nothing is "wrong." We're all different. Deal with the fact that I'm skinny and I cannot help it. By the way I think you're beautiful and I love your Merlotte's shirt!!!

You're beautiful. <3

Just because you're skinny doesn't mean you're ugly, sweetie. As you said, you should be proud of yourself and happy with the way your body is. Your sisters may be curvy and all, but everybody is different in some way or another.

Of course everyone should be... It would be nice if they did. Continue to Be brave.
