Is it really in to be so thin that your ribs show through your blouse? Who made the standard that only thin people are pretty, talented and the ultimate in beauty. I was talking with one of my teenage clients about how is was to go back to school after the summer. She stated “she already hated it” Why? I inquired. “I am a fattie” she said…… What!!! She is a size 6..yes, 5″7 and a size 6. In my book that may be considered too thin. She was literally depressed that she was fat. She did not see the fun of entering her Freshman year of High School…..the fun of a new school, new clothes, new year…new guys…She only saw that she was fat……a big fat size 6. We had a long talk about how beautiful she really is and how she is not fat. How no matter if she was a size 66, or a size 6 her qualities are beautiful. She is smart, she is kind, she is a great big sister, she is talented..and that no matter what her size…..she is an incredible person, and nothing should hold her back from being all she can be. I told her if any girl ,or guy told her she was fat….then she should feel sorry for them…because they do not know the value of a great girl….and she should let no one tell her she is not good enough…..She is perfect just for who she is..fat, thin, short, tall….
