the size issue

Ever notice how size - whether you're curvy or petite - takes up just enough time in editorial thought for one annual issue of a magazine?

Here we realize that the messages that are being sent every day create a whole lot of Size Issues. And other issues. Editorials, articles, commercials and even our own communities tell us things about acceptable body diversity every day. We like to celebrate when these things are broken down, and the way we can celebrate ourselves.

And of course, people are welcome to submit!

every single one of you.. you are gorgeous.

i’m annie, and i’m fourteen. i weigh 235 pounds, and i’m a size 18. all my life, i was always “the fat girl”. picked last in phys.ed, made fun of, i was even mooed at in middle school. i wore over-sized clothes in hopes to make myself feel skinnier, smaller, nonexistent. i’ve never liked my body. i can always find flaws anywhere i look.

but this year is my freshman year of high school, a new leaf. i’ve made amazing new friends that i never even knew existed. i have a wonderful boyfriend who never hesitates to call me beautiful. i love him, and he’s helping to make me feel gorgeous.

if any of you lovely ladies ever need someone to talk to, about anything, i’m always here. for anyone. i love you all.

Wow, I wish I had been on the path to loving my body at 14! What a beautiful post (and poster!) <33

If you cant smile regularly you need to make a change.

Smiling is the only way to live a healthy life.

I dont care if you work out 7 days a week, eating brocolli with every meal and drink 8 glasses of water a day. If you dont smile at least 20 times a day youll never lead a happy long life.

I definitely have too much anxiety to smile 20 times a day, haha, but I aspire to some day be as happy as this gorgeous person.

A new friend of mine has been helping me get through some pretty heavy stuff recently, so when I felt good after reading her emails again, I took a photo of this and I thought I might share my smile … size 16-18 Aus, 5”3’, chubby and beginning to love myself :) [submitted by thevampyone]
