You will never be fat.

Yes, you have fat.

But you also have fingers, hair, hormones, and a beating heart.

I cant say I know exactly how you feel, because I dont.

Only you know that.

But what I do know is this; you are not fat.

And you never will be.

You are unique and created to be exactly who you are.

You dont even know me.

Im sure thats what youre thinking.

And to some degreeyoure right.

I wore that title on my forehead as if it was all that I was.

I tried every diet in the book.

I even starved myself down to a skeleton at one point.

And you know what?

I did all that, just to come to the realization that I was never once fat.

Sure, my weight has been all over the board.

Ive been overweight, underweight, and everywhere in between.

But not once, not even for a second, was I fat.

But the truth is, fat is a fabricated identity and a misused word.

You will never be fat.

Yes, you have fat.

Thats because thats not who you are.

Its part of you.

You need it to stay alive.

The thing is though, a simple noun cannot tell you what youre worth.

A number on a scale cant measure the joy to this world you bring.

Besides, all that weight really is is our relationship to gravity.

But other than that, who cares?You are beautiful.

And that has nothing to do with the measurement of your waist, and it never will.

You are beautiful because of who you are at your innermost core.

Youre stunning because of the way you love, the way you laugh, the way you live.

Your passions make you gorgeous, and your laughter is beyond contagious.

But that is unlikely.

Because that is exactly what that is, a complete and utter lie.

Take a deep breath.

Stop for a moment and be still.

Let the sun illuminate the beauty from within.

Because my dear friend, perfection simply does not exist.

Its an unobtainable goal.

But what is real and unchanging is the fact that you are perfectly imperfect just as you are.
