Pressure


The pressure of keeping and losing weight. This is a pressure we shouldn't have to deal with daily. Am I too skinny? Am I not skinny enough? Why am I so fat?


Lose the weight! Try harder! Maybe he will ask you next time. “I’m sorry I don’t date fat girls.”


Or… Why are you so skinny? Are you a skeleton? Who would date you? 


The constant nagging and complaining. Should I be skinny? How skinny is too skinny? What is considered fat?


Weight, it’s just another form of pressure to bring us down.
