QuestionHow, in a world full of people telling you what you aren't and what you should be, does anyone find the courage to look in the mirror and be okay with what they see?? I cannot do it. I'm not "skinny". My skin isn't perfect. I don't feel beautiful without make-up and although I like the person I am most of the time I've never had a boyfriend so I feel like there must be something wrong with me. I just don't get it. Answer

This is exactly what we are rebelling against. The idea that there is an “ideal.” When you close your eyes and you close out the rest of the world, and you look deep within yourself, you will see that you are a person, and that in itself is beautiful. Clean your mind from the brainwashing of your TVs, fashion magazines, and political nightmares. You are Alive and you are Beautiful. Instead of idolizing the photoshopped and the stitched up, focus on real women with real bodies. Tumblr is a great community full of fiesty women, chubby fashion, self-acceptance groups, etc. Search and you will find what you are looking for: a community that will embrace you and accept you as you, just as you should with yourself. A man does not justify your self-worth. A man does not justify your own beauty, your own confidence. Love yourself, and others will love you. -Alice

Questionmy mom always tells me that i'd look prettier if i lost ten pounds... and she knows i've dealt with eating disorders. do you have any suggestions on ways to tell her to back off? Answer

I would say to sit down with her and to tell her honestly and truthfully what it feels like for you, having had eating disorders and still hearing her say these things. You need to try to be mature and sensitive to let her know, and she will then be alot more likely to take your views seriously.

Good luck with telling her, and I hope you feel better soon!
