I honestly cannot believe I am typing this but they finally pulled the plug on those awful segments and moved on entirely. I am just so happy that we pushed back against all that nonsense about weight and labels because it was driving me crazy for the longest time. We …
Lately the media has been OBSESSING over people's (mainly female's) weight. Websites, TV, and tabloids have gone as far as calling girl's 'fat'. What really caught my attention was how they recently targeted Mary Kate Olsen, this time not for being 'too skinny' but for being 'too fat' when she only weighed 110 pounds. Reading this made me so angry, that I'm deciding to do something about it. Please sign my petition so that maybe one day, some how, the media will stop targeting young women.
I was looking at some of the new photos in the magazines today and it is honestly just so exhausting how they pick apart every single inch of these poor women. I have been reading all your messages and it is clear that I am not the only one feeling this sick frustration about the double standards that literally never seem to end.

I honestly never thought this would gain any momentum at all but seeing people actually care as much as I do makes me feel like maybe things could actually change for once. It is wild really because I just needed to vent my frustration somewhere and now all of you are here with me and it just feels overwhelming in the best way possible.

Seriously? 110 lbs is considered fat now? This is why girls have eating disorders. It makes me so mad.

The media is obsessed with tearing people apart. It’s gotta stop somewhere.

I am so sick of reading this trash at the grocery store checkout. Nobody should be called fat at that weight. Ugh.
