Being skinny is overrated, first of all. And second of all, the whole idea of trying to be model thin is totally superficial and dangerous. I should know. I flirted briefy with anorexia my freshman year of high school before I realized that I was created to look the way I do, and I realized that looks are only part of me. I think that poeple need to realize that women are more than their bodies. Furthermore, I suggest that instead of complaining, I want every grrl to look in the mirror and honestly find one thing she likes about herself. If she can't, then she needs help. Wishing you were thinner is denial of the obvious: you can't accept yourself for who you are and what you look like.
