I discovered Zoella while gratuitously watching Casper Lee videos... yeah... I know... dirty little pleasure. Gosh he's cute as a button...
Zoe of Zoella is gorgeous and funny in her Youtube videos, and she can write to boot! I checked out her blog and her post "Why are you so skinny?" really got me thinking. People pass comment if they think that you are too thin, just as much as if they think you are fat - maybe even more so because being skinny is seen as being "aspirational". I hope I don't sound like a hypocrite by saying this, but can't we just be nice to each other? Maybe say "you look great" - leave it at that, although... I like being called skinny... gosh... it's not easy is it?
Give Zoe's post a read.

We've come a long way kid...
As of this morning I'm 67.8kg - I really love "cracking" a weight - I don't mind hovering and fluctuating 200g, as long as the top number stays the same!
4 months ago I weighed between 83 and 84kg. My heaviest ever. Friends told me that I was beautiful and not fat... Love you all, but if I wasn't fat then, what am I now? Air?
It's almost painful to look at old photos, I know I need to do a "before and after" but keep putting it off for when I'm 63kg, so you'll wait, yes? Back to the old photos - I have struggled to love who I was 4 months ago, not to be disgusted - how awful is that? I should love that girl with my whole heart because she made the decision to TRY, to CHANGE. And flip... look where we are now? Under 5kg to go!!! I have butterflies in my tummy - I'm 75% of the way to my goal. I've lost 18% of my body weight. I should be proud of myself, right?
Here's to the last slog, thanks for the support - and if you're thinking that you're over due for a change, do it. It's not just about the weight, it's about your soul and mind. Food can't be your escape, your drug, your joy, your punishment. If I could do it, with the grace of God, then you can do it too.
