literally so sad that pretty much all of us did this and didn’t even realize how unhealthy it was

"I was 9, 9.
When I tried working out everyday just to be skinny"
I feel you. ❤

“ i was 9, 9.
When i would look up how to be skinny in 1-3 days😢”
Love ur self and who u are.❤

[VlogswMaddii]

I feel that. I was 13 (now 15) and struggling with comparison and searching up diet hacks and workouts to get “skinny” even though nobody specifically told me my weight was unhealthy. A week later my grandma told me that with my weight was unhealthy and said she was the same weight and 7 inches taller at my age. (again I was a healthy weight) I needed to start watching what I was eating and to start working out. She’s said controversial stuff before but this was the last straw. I didn’t talk to her for a month.
Anybody who relates to my story, I’m so sorry. We’ll get through this together. 💕

“I was 9, 9 when I stopped eating because people called me fat”

It still hurts to this everyday

[l_love_swimming]

I was six. Six and telling my parents I look fat.

“I was 9, 9 and constantly getting made fun of for thick brows, and trying to gain weight cause I was called a walking stick”

I feel you ❤️

I did this when I was 8. Being in that world, society was telling young girls that their body “wasn’t good enough.” I remember looking in the mirror when I woke up and saying “my stomachs too big.” Then, I searched up exactly what you said in this video. The next day, my sister went on her iPad and saw the search history.




I REGRET IT SO MUCH, YOU ARE PERFECT 💗❤️

“I was 9 and ppl made fun of my body and eyebrows “
I feel u girl

[luv.rubyyy]

I was 9 when I started feeling guilty for eating, I was 10 when I started checking my weight, I was 11 when I started sucking my stomach in every day, I was 12 when I started calorie counting and googling how to loose weight. I was underweight for 4 years and finally at 13 im at a healthy weight.

I’m glad that some girls can help others with body image, you’ve helped me so much Janelle!

“I WAS 6-9”

I was comparing myself to others, and starving myself so I could be skinny….
I’ve been there and I still am,
Stay strong❤️

when i was in 6th grade these two boys made these two comments and it literally started all of my body image issues. people really don’t know the effects of what they say. both of them prolly wouldn’t even remember what they said but those are words i’ll never ever forget

This relates to me in so many cases like

I was 6, 6 and being told to eat more and that I looked like a pencil or a stick.

Or

I was 10, 10 and taking care of the family, always waking everybody up for work, and NEVER missing my bus always acting like the mother my friends wish they had, I grew up being the responsible one always having straight A’s and always being the mature one.

“I was 4,
I was 4 when I started to feel guilty about my body.”
Thanks a lot to the dance industry and my modeling mother.
I know the feeling. 💕

[Sai-Kai]

Oh my god I’m so sorry for you. My heart goes out to you and anyone else who went through this ❤

[Sophie-fs]

Same. It’s ok bc you are so beautiful and don’t need to worry about that. I know that looking in the mirror may be hard, but if I looked in the mirror for you, all I would see is a pretty girl.

[lovex_bella]

JANELLE YOU’RE PERFECT !! you’re absolutely stunning, caring and soo much more.
edit: guys I know no one is perfect, but she doesn‘t need to change herself. That‘s what I meant behind my comment

[kenzi-]
