Pretty. Girls. DONT. Eat.
I spent years wholeheartedly believing these four words.
This phrase consumed my thoughts to the point where I never thought I would be good enough until I could stop eating for good.
And I know I am not the only one.
If you have ever felt this way - or you feel that way now - just take a moment to remind yourself of two things:
2. BEING PRETTY IS NOT THE ONLY VALUE YOU HAVE AS A WOMAN
Im not the first person to point these things out. And I sure as hell hope I am not the last. But I hope one day when you google “pretty girls eat” that you see something different.
Because… pretty girls fucking eat!!
they eat because eating makes you look and feel good
they eat to look good in clothes
they eat to look good in a bikini
they eat to feel good naked
they eat so they can lose weight
They eat so they can gain muscle
they eat so they eat so they can work out
they eat to run to the top
they eat to achieve that pose
they eat to have the strength and energy to love being active
they eat for bright eyes and clear minds
they eat for beautiful smiles and strong teeth
they eat to grow brows on fleek
they eat for healthy skin
they eat for strong beautiful hair
they eat to love their selfies
they eat because they love themselves
and they eat because they love food and their bodies need food
One day I want little girls to google “pretty girls eat” and see pictures of beautiful women like this.
Women who are not only beautiful, but so much more. (and if you follow them you KNOW that they all eat!)
Fuck “pretty girls don’t eat” Because we do. And we should remind each other of that until every lost girl who has had the misfortune of believing such a terrible lie can be shown the truth:
