I guess I can spill my guts more easily when I just wake up but for the record I’m very disturbed by a few girl’s tumblogs I see. being envious over skinny, tiny, smoke a cigarette for lunch models. you say “it’s the fashion,” but there are a lot of young ladies I see on here wishing they had “hip bones like that” or “need to get skinny again.”
here’s a heads up: your body is changing. you’re turning into a women and you’re not going to have the same ribcage exposed body you had when you were 12. I’m sorry, but it ain’t going to happen. listen coming from someone who has always been bigger then most girls; being envious of teeny tiny models won’t make you feel any better. there’s a difference in being healthy (as in eating right and working out) and starving yourself. it will just make you tired, depressed and your hair fall out (in SOME circumstnaces). sometimes it’s not about being skinny; sometimes our body just won’t let us be.
point I’m making is it’s hard to be a model so please don’t starve yourself over that ridiculous goal. you’re body is for you and it’s precious and valuble. please, please don’t throw it away because you want to reach 95 lbs even though you’re 5’6”. I don’t know most of who I’m reaching out to but I know how it effects people. IT’S NOT WORTH KILLING YOURSELF OVER.
