Be happy with who you are!


Hey guys

As we said we made this blog so we could talk about life not just beauty and fashion and we wanted to talk about something that has really effected us.

We have quite different body types and we were thinking about how people think you need to be size 0 to be beautiful or you need curves to be beautiful. The honest truth is these sayings aren't doing anything to help everyone as if curvy girls can love the curves why can't skinnier girls love the way the are? Surely it shouldn't matter what size you are or if you have curves when it comes to being beautiful. I know there is lot of things written about this now-a-days but it is becoming a serious issue to people we love and us ourselves so we thought we would write about it and we haven't really found anything that says what most teenage girls think about it.

Recently, in lessons at school we have been looking at what you need to do to be need to be a healthy size and other things like that - but to be honest it is doing nothing. Girls are coming out of the class and they start saying they need to go on a diet or lose weight and they don't (these will often be girls who have nothing but a 'perfect figure') and it is putting pressure on to other girls, who don't need to, to go on a diet as well.

People also are calling people 'skinny' a lot recently and it is often when they are saying someone is 'too skinny'. We do understand that it can be health damaging if someone purposely stops eating and they do become too skinny and need to put on weight but this isn't always the case. What if people are just naturally skinny and can't do anything about it? Some people do eat a lot more than others and still remain very skinny but it isn't there fault and they shouldn't be judged for it. You shouldn't judge people who are bigger than you either maybe they were once at a dangerous weight and have worked to put that weight on and are happy with the way they are. In other cases people are bigger and do want to lose weight but they want their friends to encourage them and not laugh or tell them off when they have a treat during trying to diet because maybe they just need a sugar boost. People deserve encouraging during a diet not people who stop them from eating certain foods because when people are trying to put on weight no one tells them they can't eat fruits or vegetables if they like eating them.  

The honest truth is that we are sick of people judging you on what size you are or how much you weigh as it is getting ridiculous. Shops need to stop making only small dress sizes and this added to other things are making people have eating disorders or anxiety.

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!
