too thin is in???

i just finished watching tyra banks' show. the episode today discussed anorexia and how the media and the fashion industry influence the people to be super thin that people especially teenage girls end up being anorexic or too thin. i know that i myself once became too obsessed and conscious of my weight. its sad to be called fat and to be called a pig. that's a fact. no one would want to be called fat, baboy or even ugly. anyway, its just crazy that teens are obsessing about being thin that it gets to a point that they would starve themselves to death just to be like the girls they see on magazines. i used to 140 pounds way back in high school, i am 5'6'' and now i am 110 pounds (i lost 5 pounds because i got sick but im usually 115 pounds). yes there would be times when i would feel that i am fat. i guess its natural for girls to feel conscious most of the times but i know my limits. i know the border line of what is good and healthy for me. people usually think that i no longer eat because i lost a lot of weight. but i do eat. i don’t want to be super thin. i don’t want to look like a corpse walking around the face of the earth. im done with that phase where in i am so obsessed about my weight. i am more comfortable with myself now. i think that beauty is not a matter of how much you weigh in the scale. beauty is more than just physical. beauty transcends numbers shown on the scale and the reflection you see in the mirror. its somewhere inside of you. beauty shouldn’t be seen. it should be felt.

its sad that at present being beautiful equates to being super thin, long hair and flawless skin. its sad that beauty is being boxed by people. its sad that beauty is being stereotyped by the media. its sad that the perception of being beautiful kills a lot people.
