TruemorsThis is my statement I thought of this morning. It is anti-bulimia.
And this is the original picture I had uploaded first. But then I didn't like my facial expression, so I cropped it and used the other one for my 365.

I have never had an eating disorder, but I am sure some people have thought so randomly throughout my life because I'm pretty skinny naturally (fast metabolism...). But it saddens me when I think of those who do struggle with an eating disorder. I know how it is to struggle with feeling too skinny, I get self-conscious about it a lot (something I'm trying to overcome)...and these girls are struggling with feeling too fat even when they are not--even to the point of destroying themselves.
"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment [or, may I add, the approval or praise from other people]...instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight." (1 Peter 3:3,4)
Beauty is in the eye of its beholder, and there will be people out there who just will not see beauty in someone. No one out there is considered beautiful by everyone. Find someone who most guys think is "hott," you will also find other guys who think she is not.
And does it really matter what other people think of you? You honestly cannot please everyone. Start with those whose opinions of you truly matter: yourself, and God. You must believe you are beautiful, because God does. He created you just the way you are and he calls you his beautiful creation. He does not see your blemishes or love handles or unibrow...actually I take that back. He does see your blemishes or love handles or unibrow and SMILES because no matter what you are His beautiful son or daughter and He loves you all the same! now how amazing is that?
And because God--the one who created you, the one who would be able to see every single little fault that others may not be able to see--believes you are beautiful...you should to. Everyone has their own quirks about them, you shouldn't crush them because it's different from the current fad...embrace them, because being unique and yourself amongst the many people just trying to be like everyone else is much more beautiful.
That is something I believe everyone struggles with at some point, eating disorder or not.
