Or is she?
Society has this image built up that if you look like this, or act like that, or talk like this, or walk like that, you aren't fit to be a human being. I am 5'4" and I weigh 154.5 lbs. In no way am I dangerously obese; however, I believe I could stand to lose about 25 pounds or so. I am a human being, and this is my attempt to fit in.
I've never been one to follow the crowd; typically, I was the one walking behind the crowd until no one was looking and then slowly sneaking off in the other direction. I've always told myself that I wouldn't let society chain me, but I have. I always have.
"You're so sexy,"
Those aren't the words I want to hear when I don't believe them myself. I want to be confident enough in myself to be able to hear those words and think "yeah... I am," rather than "What the fuck ever you liar. You're just trying to get some and you don't care who it comes from,"
My brain always goes here. Even when people look at me and don't say a thing. Are they thinking "Why is her mouth uneven," or "Her stomach sticks out too far," At least
that's what I'm thinking. Maybe they really do mean that I'm sexy. Maybe I am kinda pretty. Maybe I really do have a nice body... to them. Maybe my self image has been brought down by the girls on T.V. or in the magazines with there perfectly tanned flat stomachs, no stretch marks or blemishes; perhaps that is just my excuse for being bitter. And I am bitter. Very bitter.
I have thought about doing every thing in my power to make myself be who I want to be, but I lack either the funds or the
discipline. I mean sure, if I were to win the loto, I'd be that girl in a month, no doubt. I just need to get this fat girl to go away. Just fucking go away and let me hear the words "you're beautiful," and not run screaming in the other direction. Let me kick the habbit of thinking things like "you're wrong," and "it's because I have boobs," Let me live my life like a normal, pretty, 19 year old girl would do.
