Changing Thin

Disordered

            Beautiful

Skin and bones

            Stunning

Picture-perfect 

            Thigh-gap

                        Hip bones

                                    Ribs    

Control                    control              control

                                                                                                            Not thin enough.

 

STOP

 

Thinness does not define you.

The scale does not define you.

You cannot compare to others.

YOU are beautiful.

Strong.

Hopeful.

 

Let's change the course of the ones who seek to shape us,

Pull out our imperfections,

Define what beauty is;

Make us attain impossible perfection.

 

NO

 

Size. Shape. Waist-to-hip ratio. Weight.

 

They are numbers. Forget them. They are descriptions. Forget them.

 

Own your imperfections.

            Build that confidence.

                        YOU can change the world.
