So, this fit bitch...

Day 23: Did the media play a role in your wanting to lose weight?

It really did not. Even from a young age, I understood the bodies portrayed in magazines or ads are not at all what they actually look like.

If you are losing weight because you see how perfect everyone else looks, you are sorely mistaken and, frankly, fucking stupid. I mean, having high goals is admirable, having impossible ones is ignorant.

Completely aside from photo manipulation, we forget that celebrities make enough money to hire personal trainers, personal chefs, nutritionists, the whole nine yards. They often work out for multiple hours a day and have their meals made for them, OF COURSE they are going to look fabulous with that kind of schedule. When you have to maintain it all on your own, it’s a much different song and dance.

Don’t live your life hating your body or wishing it was different. It’s a waste of time.
