Ugh. How can anyone be like that naturally? And, if that really is natural {which I highly doubt} how on earth is she staying alive with a stomach that small?
Why is it that in America girls are made to think that to be skinny is to be pretty? I mean, I'm skinny, but not on purpose. I eat ALL the time, a lot, and junky stuff {ask any of my friends or relatives. My sister says it drives her nuts because I'm rooting through the fridge and cupboards every 10 minutes, lol}
Girls, from one teen to another, please, don't try to be skinny. Just try to be healthy. I know what Anorexia can do to a person's life. A girl I grew up with had/has it, and.....wow. She was so sweet, and caring before she had it. Even though we grew up together, and were good friends, I am now a source of resentment to her, because I am naturally skinny and eat all the time, but she has to practically starve herself to be skinny. {If she had lost anymore weight, she would have been in the hospital, and she wasn't as skinny as that person. I repeat, how on earth does she stay alive?} The worst part is that no one knows how to help. It's not just a "I have to be skinny" mindset, it's a "I have to be skinny for people to like me. I have to be the center of attention. Everyone who is skinnier than me is an enemy. Anything with sugar, salt, or over X calories is practically a death sentence." You don't just hurt your body, you hurt your mind, your heart. You hurt everyone else around you.
Please, please, please, never tell yourself "To be skinny is to be pretty." Instead, tell yourself "To be myself is my natural beauty."
