My mom was so afraid of aging she would cry
My close friend constantly talks about “starting her diet again”
My cousin would always say that after eating, she definitely needs to workout after.
My friends talk about having “cheat days meals”.
My family comments on weight like it’s associated with health.
My friends are being bullied online for showing confidence in their skin.
My friends promote supplements that help you “lose weight”.
My friends daughter was bullied at school for how she looked.
A famous singer posted a photo and the world is going crazy about how much weight she lost.
The people I love and care about give daily messages that weight gain is wrong.
That they are always striving for a thinner, “healthier” body.
I’m tired of this bullshit.
No profound advice.
No positivity.
Today I am just plain tired of all this bullshit.
I wish for just one day of not being reminded that I am not enough.
To all the womxn who experience self hate on the daily, I wish that you find peace in this crazy world that constantly reminds us that we are not enough.
