i don’t normally reblog things like this but i was talking about it with someone this morning and everything that’s written here is so true. it’s just a number. it doesn’t make you any better or any more of a person than someone whose number is different.
People need to acquire a fucking backbone and grow up. It’s a set of scales, it weighs things. Nothing more. Some people are happy with their weight, others are not. Spouting gay shit like this constantly will not change that fact. I just think think about my nan for instance, 15 years ago she would have given you a slap round the ear for something like this, told you to stop being such a fanny and if you want to lose weight then do it, if not…then don’t. This whole ‘everyone is beautiful and amazing in their own way’ ethos is not real world. It does not change anything.
why isn’t ‘everyone is beautiful in their own way’ ethos “real world”? and if it isn’t, then i think it should be. people might not believe it but it doesn’t make it any less valid. the image above concerns people who rely on how much they weigh for their own self-worth, when, even though it sounds cheesy, to me it’s ‘inside what counts’.
the amount you weigh shouldn’t define you, as long as you’re happy and healthy. yes, some people want to lose weight and some don’t… it’s a fact & no one’s disputing that, it’s just stating that whether you’re happy with your weight or whether you’re not, it shouldn’t be so important to you that it affects your self-worth or how happy you feel within your own life. it’s a piece of advice that i think a lot of people need to hear more often, hence why i posted it, i don’t think it’s ‘gay shit’ at all.
