I was actually thinking something similar to this the other day and it's really getting to me. I believe we live in a society where people tell us how we should look or how we should feel about our looks.

I am a girl with some extra curves on me. My whole life, I've always been given the impression that it is just not acceptable, that I need to lose weight, and so on. Other than health reasons, why the fuck do I need to lose weight to impress someone else. I happen to like the proportion of my body even though it is a little thicker. I do want to lose some weight yes, but only to make sure my health is in good condition and so that I can still be active.

The part that really gets me is that my mother plays a huge part in this. She is constantly talking about my weight. It's so bad that I can't even wear a pair of shorts without her saying "You lost weight" or "You gained weight".

I happen to have very thick legs. My mother was complaining the one day that she was gaining weight in her legs and she was like "I'm getting Amy legs!" What the fuck kind of comment is that? Strangely enough, that's not the only time she's said something like that.

She also complains about her own weight, and she only weighs 135lbs. There have been many people in my life, not just her, who have been like this towards me. I'm not even obese for crying out loud. I could see if I was severly endangering my life, but I only have some extra padding.

To be perfectly honest, most days when I look in the mirror, I really like what I see. I'm not super model thin and I don't want to be. Why can't people just let me like who I am? Can I just go one day without someone telling me my body is unacceptable?
