Ladies, you are all beautiful.

I know that we are all on here to better ourselves and be healthier. However, I thought the quote below (not mine) could be helpful and uplifting. Ladies, the pressure put on you from the world to be perfect is ridiculous. Yet, you keep on pushing. I am not sure if I would have the strength. Keep up the good work.

"Hey you. Yes you. Stop being unhappy with yourself. You are perfect. Stop wishing you looked like someone else, or wishing people liked you as much as they like someone else. Stop trying to get attention from those who hurt you. Stop hating your body, your face, your personality, your quirks. Love them. Without those things you wouldn't be you. And, why would you want to be anyone else? Be confident with who you are. Smile. It'll draw people in. If anyone hates on you because you are happy with yourself, then you stick your middle finger in the air, and say screw it! Your happiness will not, be depended on anyone anymore. Life is too short to be perfect. Love your imperfections, they make you, you. And, your flaws is what make you beautiful. So, be you. Because, you, are pretty amazing."

    As I've gotten older, I've come to accept myself - good and bad much more than when I was younger. I think back about crying over my "belly" (wish I had that same "belly" now!) or how my body was developing (which was never perfect enough it seemed) and I wish I could tell that girl that someday she'd like those things that were bothering her. That nobody gives a rip about a stretch mark or two and that she was beautiful. I am glad I have reached this confidence and hope all girls do. I appreciate your kind post and think it was very sensitive to put it out there in a forum where many of us women are too busy finding our flaws or comparing ourself to <whoever>. Very sweet. Thank you for your post!

    I really wanted to say something similar to a girl who was in here last week insisting she wanted "Beyonce's legs." Oh sweetie. Work hard for the best legs YOU can have and don't compare yourself to someone whose net worth depends on looking good. Work for the body that lets you live your best life.

    Thanks for the lovely post!
