Everyone Has Flaws! I use to always consider myself as a normal, average weight girl. Yes, I was chubby growing up, and still today I'm at the height of 5'8 and I weigh 154 pounds. I am nearly 18 years old and a High School graduate. I've always felt as if I was never good enough for the corporations of the real world. Turns out I am, And it also turns out that I've suffered big time to finally see that. Nearly three years ago, for six and a half months, I was bulimic. It's hard knowing when you're in public you're not looked at like all those pretty thin girls. You're considered fat in some peoples eyes, and in the others you're just thick boned, but beautiful. Being the young adult I am today, I've finally realized that beauty is literally skin deep and not everyone is as judgmental as young teens perceive them to be. Yes, I play sports to the full, and I'm as active as can be, and I eat really healthy and regularly. So, if I'm this healthy and still a little chubby, is it really a big deal? I've started modeling, but people don't always see our best qualities. There are still a lot of judgmental people in this world. They're all about physical beauty, but you can be whomever you want to be. Not stick thin, but thin enough that you're happy with your own life, just as I am now with mine. We all struggle at some point, and 90% of young teenagers feel as if they aren't pretty enough, or thin enough, for that boy to like them. Just as I felt, being teased and picked on through out school, because I wasn't the 90 pound Girl, but I wasn't 170 pounds either. I was average, which made me sad at one point, but now, today, has made me happy. Everyone has their own flaws, and given any day, today looking back, I would rather be who I am now, than that thin girl in the coffin, because she wouldn't eat, or would throw it back up, just as I did. For beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. It isn't based on a woman being 90 odd pounds.
