My body shape/size have nothing to do with my personality or who I am. I'm so sick of seeing negative images full of all sorts of body slamming and shaming.
I'm 6'ft tall, and weigh 125lbs. You'd never know by looking at me, that I eat my weight in food more often than not. People assume I must work out, or I was blessed with a fast metabolism. I do eat healthy (minus the soda pop), but the truth is, I do not do anything else to keep myself in shape/healthy and I wasn't blessed with a fast metabolism.
I stay this thin, because beneath my skin, beneath the shape of my body, I'm sick. (You) do not see any physical ailments because my body is able. (You) also do not see the pain caused by mental illness. I am not the only one out there. The physical pain that comes from any chronic emotional distress is very real. It takes away from your very being, draining you in every aspect. Sore muscles, headaches, nausea, cramping, clenching hands and teeth, even feet, locking all your joints. The list continues.
So no, I don't want to hear I'm lucky or blessed, and no I don't need to read bullshit (excuse my language) about the shape of my body being able to tell me if I have a jealous, giving, or bitchy personality. Yes, my issues can sometimes correlate with my bad atitude but in no way can it tell you the type of person I am.
As people we need to drop the judgement, stereotypes and the 'bullshit', empower and encourage, love one another dispite how we look. It is time we stop reading into the negativity the media continues to create, finding new ways to say things they were once allowed to say which are no longer politically inccorect.
Rant over.
