"You are f×cking beautiful. I'm saying this with a straight face and seriously meaningful look where I maintain eye contact for an uncomfortable amount of time. I know you don't feel like you fit into the category of gorgeous that our world creates. I know that its hard. I know that its a daily battle. But f×ck their fascist beauty standards. The second you stop looking for a skinny model in your mirror and start looking at YOU... is the second you will start to appreciate what you are. Stop looking for flaws. Stop looking for differences. You are perfect. You are more than enough. You are the best thing that has ever happened to you. And you are f×cking beautiful. Say it with me."

"Wearing whatever you want is a political statement. Join the revolution. Throw style rules out the window. Wear the tutu. Wear the horizontal stripes. Wear the turquoise skinny jeans. Wear the see-through blouse. Wear the bikini. Wear the sweat pants. Wear the shirt that says "Does this shirt make me look fat?". Wear whatever it is that makes you happy. This is your life."

"Fat chicks b a n g hot guys... ALL. THE. TIME. I know that hot is relative and all inclusive depending on who you chat with, but for these purposes, lets talk about the "universally attractive" kind of hot. Y'know, the kind fat chicks don't deserve? We want to pretend that we don't know what I'm talking about, but lets be real; we totally do. The fact that "fat chicks bang 'hot' guys" was one of the most powerful realizations I've had thus far. In line with the above paragraph, I knew that there would be someone that would find me attractive but the pool would be small (because of my body) and potentially full of guys I didn't personally find s e x y. So I would have to settle for anyone that would take me. After all, how could a conventionally gorgeous man (tall and with tattoos of course) like fat chicks? Weh-he-hell, let me tell you somethin': through various sites, events, parties, and corner store meetings, I found myself with over a hundred men who were champing at the bit to get with this. I was the one who had to sift through and pick the hottest of the hot. Ladies, over a hundred. "Girls" showed what society thinks about that when Hannah's character has a weekend romance with an attractive and wealthy doctor. People flipped their shist. "Patrick Wilson is so hot he would never do Lena Dunham" was the most eye catching. Wilson's wife responded to that rubbish here (http://www.buzzfeed.com/lyapalater/patrick-wilsons-wife-puts-the-lena-dunham-controversy-to-res), but the tweet speaks volumes about what the majority of people think unconventional women deserve (http://jezebel.com/5983437/what-kind-of-guy-does-a-girl-who-looks-like-lena-dunham-deserve). Jesus christ, it's annoying. I won't spill the details of my bedroom coming and goings, but lets just say this: the hottest guys in Tucson and I get along just fine. I would recommend reading Emily's article on xoJane(http://www.xojane.com/s e x/i-look-a-lot-like-lena-dunham-and-ive-banged-super-hot-dudes) for a better explanation of what I'm struggling to say. Know this: the myth that "atypical" bodies can't be paired with "typically attractive" bodies is false. Women need to know that all bodies can be paired with all bodies."

"There are people who prefer large ladies. And I mean all sizes of large. I thought that my best bet in life was to find a partner who accepted my fat. Pause. Give me a minute to hang my head and shake it at myself. Not only are there people who adore "thick" women, but a LOT of them who prefer it. This eventually ends up in an interesting territory which Marianne talks about here (http://www.xojane.com/s e x/s e x-with-a-fat-person), but the point that I'm trying to make goes back to the "despite vs because of" argument. Here is what you need to know: you do NOT need to settle for a lover who is "okay" with your body. You have the right (and millions of opportunities) to find someone who is infatuated with your body. You deserve to be worshiped, woman!"

"It's also okay to have days were you don't love yourself. Read this.
(http://www.themilitantbaker.com/2012/10/aint-that-truth.html).
No really. Read it. And then realize that we've grown up learning and internalizing that we are not okay our entire life. For me, that's 26 years of self-hate indoctrination and brainwashing. It's going to take a lot longer than you think to reverse this thinking, and it's definitely not going to happen overnight. Allow yourself to have "weak" days. Cry, mourn, sob, yell, throw things. Whichever. Then get up, brush yourself off, give the media the finger, and move forward because you're a warrior."

"You're allowed to fall in love with yourself. I promise. This will be the scariest thing you will ever do, and that's okay. It will also be the most amazing (albeit super gradual) experience you will ever have. It doesn't make you narcissistic. It doesn't make you vain. It is liberating in every form of the word."

"You need to exercise every day in order to feel better about yourself. "
Many believe that someone who's fat needs to exercise as much as possible in order to prove that they're committed to becoming "less fat". As if accepting one's body as is would be a sin, and that's just silly. Yes, exercising has wonderful physical and mental benefits, but you don't owe it to anyone else to make an effort to change your body unless you wanna. You do not have to alter yourself to be okay. Period."

"A guy can pick you up off your feet, and it won't break his back. "Wait, whaaaaaa Jes? You're full of shist." Nope. This just happened to me for the first time in... six years? I'm considerably heavier than I was 6 years ago (like... 70 pounds heavier) and so when I ran up to my friend Eric for a hug and he picked me up with my heels in the air... it left me breathless. I had forgotten that it was possible; I had accepted a life void of being lifted. So exhilarating. Eric didn't suffer any injuries and walked away unscathed. "

"You're not stunning despite your body. You're stunning because of your body. There is a distinct difference. I grew up in a culture that would deem "unattractive" women as "special spirits". A degrading categorization that implied that the only thing worthwhile was whatever was inside. Well, yeah. We are all much much more than our bodies, but our bodies are a beautiful part of us too. Beauty comes from the inside AND the outside. I am of the firm belief that every person is beautiful, and so this leaves the inside to be the part that is the most telling when it comes to true "beauty"."

Just because I don't have an eating disorder,
doesn't mean I don't mentally cringe every time I eat,
and that I don't try and limit how much I eat. It
also doesn't mean I don't stare in the mirror, disgusted
by what I see.

The scales say I'm overweight.
The tape measure says I'm underweight.
I say I'm perfectly happy with the way I look.

Treat yourself the way that you would treat others.
Because you wouldn't go up to your friend and tell them they look fat today right?
So why would you say it to yourself.

Dear God,
Please help all of those in need.
Please help the people struggling with being happy. Help them see the good in things, help them smile and laugh. Let those people know that they are loved.
Please help those who are struggling with depression. Let them know that they can get through it. That You have a bigger and better plan for them then what they know. Help them get through this tough time and let them know that they are loved.
Please help the people struggling with body image. Help them know that they are perfect. That they don't need to have a perfect body, or super long hair. Let them know that how they look doesn't determine their self worth. Help them understand that someone out there thinks they are perfect and beautiful. Please let these people know they are loved.
Please help those who struggle with an eating disorder. Whether it is bulimia or anorexia. Help them learn that they don't need to starve their body to be perfect. Let them know that they can eat, and they can keep that food in their system and still be beautiful. Help these people learn that they are not the number they see on the scale, that they are worth more than that. Help these people get through this and help them recover. Let them know that they are loved.
Please help those who self harm. Whether they are cutting themselves, burning themselves, or even mentally abusing themselves. Let them know that it is okay to put down the razor, to keep their skin unharmed. Let them know they don't need to mentally beat themselves up everyday and making themselves feel worthless. Help them get over this, help them put down that razor, help them think good things. Help them realize that if they are stronger than the addiction to it, and they can get over it. Help them realize that whatever is causing them to self harm won't last forever. Guide them through this and let them know that they are loved.
Please help all of those who are thinking about committing suicide. Please Lord, I am begging you don't let them do it. Get them to stop before they end their life. Let them know that they can get through this hard time. Let them know that even though it might seem as if they won't survive through it, they can't handle it, that they can. Help them learn how strong they are, and give them Your strength so they can get through this. Let them know that they are loved. They might not feel loved, but they are. If not by their families, or classmates they are by You. Let them be aware that there is someone out there caring for them. Help them God. Help them realize that they can get through this and help them. Help carry them through this hard time. Please let these people know they are loved and cherished.
God please all of those people who suffer from what I named earlier and anything I missed. Help them all learn they are loved, and they are cared about, and they are worth so much more than what they might think.
In Your name I pray, Amen.
