This is how I was feeling about my writing. Then I actually found some pretty awesome tips from Writer’s Digest.

hi my name is bree. and i want to tell you all a little story. this picture is of me at my lowest weight so far. 138 pounds. i use to be 190. as you can see i dont look all that happy. ive spent years on diets, starving myself, purging, using laxatives, chewing and spitting just to undo the massive binges i would undergo. here i am. at a normal weight, and ive never been more miserable in my life. why you ask? because for so long i truly and honestly believed that losing weight would fix all my problems. that boys would start to like me, and that i would feel pretty. which is hilarious considering im even more insecure now than i have ever been, and no boy can stick around. all my problems have only gotten more real, because now i see i dont have an easy fix to them. so fitting into this dress that has a tag on it that says “small” doesnt do anything. it doesnt change anything. i go tanning, i dye my hair, and i barely eat so i can look like this.i try so hard to be someone who im not. and its only making me hate myself more. the moral of this story is that losing weight truly and honestly does not fix any of your problems. the problem is that you dont love yourself now. and trust me, not loving yourself is a big fucking problem. so fuck everyone who doesnt love you for you 100 % today. you all are badass little chickens and i love you all. please dont try so hard, and search for happiness that can not be found in a jean size, on a scale, or within the arms of another person. dont worry about being “unattractive” or “ugly” because those are two things the eyes can not see. those are not features on someones face, those are qualities that someone has within them. listen up, im gonna tell you whats unattractive: not wanting to get to know someone because they are a size 12 or 18. let me tell you whats ugly: being mean, and judgmental. beauty is something that can not be seen with the eyes as well, what makes you beautiful isnt the color of your hair, how small your waist line is, or that little fucking V in your hips guys. whats beautiful is how you laugh, how you love, how you are there when others need you, and how you constantly strive to be a better person. thats fucking beautiful. we live in such a vain world. and today, im deciding i dont wanna be apart of it anymore. im gonna love everyone regardless of what they weigh or look like. i will no longer judge anyone, INCLUDING MYSELF. im gonna love myself. im gonna smile a hell of alot more, and help someone when they need it. im gonna laugh at those silly jokes because WHY NOT. stop trying to lose weight, and start trying to gain self esteem where you are right now. i love you all so much. WHO IS WITH ME?
Love you girl
