Y’know, the people who look like the models in magazines and in actresses in movies with waists as thin as their necks aren’t happy. They just get really sick and die because they never eat anything and they’re on drugs. I know this because my mom was one of those models. You are prettier than them because it is obvious that they are trying so hard to be practically a skeleton. I think that you only live once, so why waste your life? If you never just enjoy yourself and never eat yummy foods, your life will have been practically wasted, because to be honest I wouldn’t be able to live without conchas and crème brûlée and cake and chocolate and- I’m just babbling now, sorry. My point is, don’t waste your life hoping to be thin, because even then you wont be happy. Those people aren’t happy. They’re just sad and sick. This is a good poem though. It perfectly illustrates the effects that society’s unrealistic expectations for women have on us and how sad it makes us. I think that this is a beautiful, sad poem, and I think that you are a beautiful person who deserves to be happy. I hope that you end up happy and don’t keep struggling so much with this. Have you seen the movie “Dumplin’”? It’s on Netflix and you should watch it. It is *kind of* related to this and helped me feel better about how my body looks, and hopefully it will help you too. Hopefully this has made sense and I don’t sound like a crazy person, haha.

eloise2006 hiya, so sorry it's taken so long to get back to you. i appreciate all your kind words, i have struggled with the way my body looks since i can remember. i am so sorry to hear about your mum, my messages are always open if you do need help or if you want to rant, id love to listen. the movie Dumplin was actually one of my inspriations for this piece, i have started to love myself a lot more now, whilst i still have my insecurities, i have learned that i am a normal human who has difficulty liking parts of their own body, as with everyone you will always have something you dont like about yourself. once again i appreciate your kind words and i am always here to listen to you. i also have some new poems coming soon so look out for them!!

I hope this isn't your experience in real life. If so then don't go too far the other way as being too thin damages your health. If you went to a doctor they would have to keep anything you told them a secret. You won't be alone, a lot of people worry about their weight and appearence.

If its not your experience then hopefully it will make people think about an important issue. Either way you do right in putting this online.

eloise2006 thank you, this really means a lot. i, myself have always struggled with my body and my apperance. although this may be based on my experience a little bit, i hope that others see this and this can also help them feel like they arent alone and that they do matter. so they feel that someone is there for them.
