Food

I often starve myself just to make myself feel pretty.

I avoid eating the food I love, and often I drown in self-pity.

I count calories, avoid junk food and don't eat after six.

I don't drink soft drinks and don't eat burgers and chips.

Whenever I eat sweets, I blame myself, and I get mad.

But I still eat chocolate and cookies whenever I feel sad.

I either overeat or don't eat a thing for the entire day.

I lose weight when I'm at home and gain it back when I'm away.

I never thought I was overweight, but my mum told me that I was.

I have a horrible relationship with food; I wish I had been diagnosed.

I stay in bed and sleep all day to avoid thinking about food.

Whenever I am tired and starving, I'm in an awful mood.

I have big thighs, stretch marks, huge hips.

My legs are short, my eyes are big, and so are my lips.

I don't know what I like about myself, but I do know what I don't.

I used to love myself and think I was pretty, but now I guess I am not.

I'm not a model and don't have abs, and I'm not skinny.

I don't wear skirts or dresses, especially if they're mini.

I wear jeans and hoodies that are twice my size.

When I go out, my friends, not me, always get with pretty guys.

The soul is more important than what you see on the outside.

I should love myself for being me, and trust me, I have tried.

It's hard to love yourself when you only see what others see.

I hope one day I will love my body and myself for being me.

I'm sorry if you can relate and sorry if you feel the same.

I'm sorry if you don't understand and think I sound lame.

There are so many pretty souls out there that people do not see.

I hope one day you'll love yourself, and I will learn how to love me.
