Weight

Weight Weight Weight Weight. How much? How much do you weigh? How much do I weight? Do I weight less than you? Who weighs more? Weight. 15. 15. Freshman 15. Did you gain it? Did it happen? How would you lose it? Before you get to college you start reading in Seventeen magazine at the age of 15 that there is a thing called the Freshman 15. The 15 pounds some people gain at college and how you can lose it. Thousands of pills to pop, drinks to drink, powders to mix. Patches to stick to your tummy, fabric belts to lose a little tummy fat. What happened to eating right? What happened to exercise? What the hell happened to stop looking at a number on a scale and start looking in the mirror? Who cares how much you weigh as long as you are healthy, fit and confident with how you look? A few weeks ago I went to the gym and saw a plus sized girl running on the treadmill, not only did I think 'good for you!' I also was embarrassed because she could run for a longer time than me. So step away from the scale, the BMI, the diet pills. Unwrap your tummy belt, throw away the powder, rip off your patch and stop obsessing. Go for a walk. You will feel better if you eat right, and exercise. Even if its a 30 minute walk a day you will feel better. Because it isn't about a number. It's about how you feel. And if you feel good than you are worth a million bucks, who cares what other people think or what society says? Do what you need to do to feel good.
