Intervention

i watched an episode of Intervention with a sweet girl named Amy.
who was bulemic. is bulemic.

some of the stats they showed blew my mind.

for example.

a girl of her height should consume about 2300 calories a day....she consumes over 24,000 and then purges. TWENTYFOUR THOUSAND!

a girl of her age and height should be anywhere from 115-154 lbs (thankfully they used reasonable ranges). this girl is 92 lbs.

they showed her working out, and binging and i was in awe.

how can you not know youre beautiful Amy?
how can you not see the look of pain and love on your family's faces?
how can you reject their longing to help?

you are beautiful.
but this is unhealthy.

man alive i wish people didnt think so low of themselves, that they feel the need to do such things.

we are beautiful.
yeah i have stretch marks.
yeah i have a mom pooch.
yeah im overweight according to other people.
yeah i dont have an ideal bikini body.
yeah ive got "more cushion...."
yeah im chubby.

but fuckitall im BEAUTIFUL : ]

just like you.


please know this.


you're beautiful.

simply beautiful.
