Believe me when I say that it’s not worth it to stress or fixate on body image, ladies. I had an eating disorder when I was younger and I was a twig – it’s not attractive and it’s not worth it. Granted, my “reasoning” for having the eating disorder was very rare and complicated (I can explain my story to those who wish to hear it), but I had one nonetheless. For those of you who are dealing with a body image issue or an eating disorder, please do not allow the media or a friend or a boyfriend scam you into thinking that you need to lose weight to be pretty or that you need to be a size 0 to be happy in life. It’s not true, they are all lies. The truth is that it’s actually NOT pretty to be that skinny and it’s NOT satisfying to live a life in constant battle with your body. Embrace and love your curves and fall in love with yourself as you are! If you can love yourself first, others will love you as you love you. Hilary Duff is such an inspiration and wonderful role model. Through her shows, her movies, her music, her books, and now her new family I am so proud and happy to see how far she’s come and how she has chosen to positively impact the world.
