  • i'm a double zero, my hipbones and ribcage stick out. but guess what? i don't have an eating disorder. i have a fast metabolism and i was born that way. i'm so sick of people on tumblr telling me i'm too skinny or not sexy enough. it's not my fault. i wish people would just realize that all body types are beautiful

  • I relate so much to when you were talking about eating when people weren't around and not eating cake because you were afraid of what people would think. I'm 5'3, 16 and weigh 145. The way I feel about my body has improved tremendously, but it's still not even that great now. I didn't eat a piece of candy the other day in class because I was afraid people would judge me. I feel like I'm fat, but yet I know others dont always see me that way. High school takes its toll.

    Thanks for the video.

  • the fucking truth... know how you feel girl

  • amen sister

  • @MelanieEtc <3 <3

  • @Mimi30075 it's always a good feeling when you know you're not alone in this <3 :)

  • @MelanieEtc you literally said word for word what I was going to say :)

  • I watch this video every time I feel like shit about my weight. That thing you said about your boyfriend, it made me realize how much he loves me no matter how fucking fat I am. Thanks, man. You made my day.

    And fuck that manwhore that was talking about my legs the other day at school. He could go fuck a tree and leave me the fuck alone. But it's cool, my best friend punched him. :)

  • I'm another jewish rachel (haha) that has struggled with body image since age 11. I verged on an eating disorder at 13. the part about your parents and sneak-eating really resonated with me. my mom used to have me to buy a size smaller in clothes to encourage me to lose weight. just last month my parents told me my weight was a "health concern," even though I'm a size 6-8 and work out 4x/week. having a boyfriend helped at first with body image, but ultimately confidence has to come from within.

  • @lazerz44 Omg, that was beautiful(,:

  • Go fucking have a doughnut and stop fucking worrying about it . <3<3<3
