I am baffled and also sad at some of the discussions going on. People, this blog is a diet blog, yes. But the message is Eat Right. Get HEALTHY. Not ‘Get Anorexic’. Or ‘Get As Thin As Possible’. This is not the site to promote those things. If you are working out daily, eating healthily (or trying to, anyway, it’s hard), and not a lazy slob, then IT’S ALL GOOD. I weight 117-ish pounds and I’m really short. 5’1. I have friends my size who weigh like, 95 pounds. I have not been that weight since grade seven. But you know what? Our bodies are all different. I’m naturally thicker/bigger boned (thanks, dad)… And it sucked in highschool because I was always 15, 20 pounds bigger than I thought I was supposed to be because I thought if you were 5’1, you had to be 100 pounds, or less. Now I exercise 4-5 times a week. I avoid “bad” foods but treat myself one day a week (to an extent)… And I’m happy because I’m

healthy. I can run for miles, I can spin on the spin bike for an hour and that’s all that matters. It’s actually very liberating. Being this strong. And knowing what’s best for my body. I’m kind of frustrated at the girls who are clearly trying unhealthy alternatives to lose weight. I understand that it’s not as simple as I’m putting it, sometimes there are emotional issues, but pleeease recognise it and get help! Or if you’re friends with somebody or if somebody is posting something and you realise it’s unhealthy, TELL THEM. I don’t know where I’m going with this, I just feel sad for girls who are insecure about their bodies and don’t know what to do. Because I’ve been friends with some and I’ve told them the same thing I posted up here and whether or not they took it was up to them. But I’m just sayin’! There are many other things in life to be worried about.
