Too fat: If you weigh less than 250 pounds, please do not complain that you are fat. I weigh roughly 275: you may consider me fat. But if you are 125 pounds and you have a little chub, so what? Just because you're a little bit chubby doesn't mean you're full blown fat. A lot of girls fat shame themselves for no reason at all. And if you feel that you're fat, do something about it. Eat a little better, get some exercise, and maybe then you'll feel a little bit better about yourself. But please, do not go overboard and become anorexic. Skinny is nice to look at, and being skinny feels nice, but there's a fine line between healthy skinny and unhealthy skinny. If you are fat: flaunt it. My cousin always says that she's "big and proud". But if you're like me and you don't like "flaunting" it, there are ways to hide it if losing weight isn't for you. I wear a lot of baggy clothing, or clothes with many layers of ruffles and such so my fat rolls are hidden. But whether you're skinny or "fat", you should feel happy in your body.
No thigh gap: First off, I've never understood this whole thigh gap thing. Doctors have said that thigh gaps are unnatural, and that thigh gaps only happen to people who have wider hips. Thigh gaps aren't something that we can control: it's just the way our bodies have been built. So don't feel bad if you don't have a thigh gap, and you shouldn't feel bad if you have a thigh gap, either. We can't control the way our bodies are built, so embrace what you've been given.
Looks: Not everyone is going to look like a Victoria's Secret model. It's just not possible. If you don't like the way you look, try a little make-up. I wear just eyeliner, but I feel like it makes me look a lot better than when I don't wear it. I know feminists say that you shouldn't wear make-up to look pretty, but if wearing make-up makes you feel good about yourself, who cares what people say?
Scars: In this context, scars are those in which have been self-inflicted. I'm only going to say one thing about this: you may have the scars, but you're still here, right? The scars show that you've been through a rough time, but your presence proves that you made it through. But if your scars really bother you, cocoa butter works.
The way people see me: This is something I always worry about. I have bad anxiety, so whenever I'm out somewhere and people are laughing, I feel as if they're laughing at me. I want to look good when I go out because I don't want people to see me as "trashy" or "gross". I always try to make my hair look good, I almost always have make-up on, and I always look out at what I wear. In all honesty, I'm not sure what advice to give you guys about this. But just try to make yourself happy, and don't worry about what other people think.
Having no self-confidence: Not many people have self-confidence: I know I don't. If you do: that's great! Good job and keep that self-confidence. If you don't: try to look at the positive aspects of how you look, and don't focus on the negative aspects.
Stretch marks: I used to think that only fat people have stretch marks. That's not true at all. Having stretch marks is not a bad thing: it just means your body isn't keeping up (I believe anyways). Cocoa butter also works when wanting to get rid of stretch marks.
