Shocking.

I was going through old photos and found one of the few pictures that exist of me at my lowest weight. Its ironic that at my most beautiful I avoided cameras like the plague. I'm looking at this photo and can't help but think- why didn't I see how thin I was? How could I have possibly seen myself as fat? And how didn't everyone else see? My mom

Yeah exactly.

"...me at my lowest weight. Its ironic that at my most beautiful..."

Do you really still think
Skinny = Beautiful?

"...a picture of myself. I have one in particular that motivates me a lot. You can't even see my body in it..."

Your beauty, you yourself acknowledge,
is not a factor of body size.

"One of these days I'll post a picture of myself..."
How about pictures of your totem animal/s?
A block of your favorite color/s?
Artwork or crafts you've done?
Your favorite shoes?

Other aspects of YOU...

I do believe skinny=beautiful. I know, on some level, that isn't entirely true, but in terms of my career and my current perspective its difficult for me to avoid. There are rare occasions/photographs in which I feel beautiful. I acknowledge there are many other aspects of me but you have to understand its so hard...

Yes. It is hard.

Skinny = Beautiful is a
pervasive message, and
one that can be ingested
in many forms.
