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.
