Stop. No please just stop.

All of you who think it is
1. ok to call people fat/ugly
2. it is funny to call people fat/ugly
3. think people are unfortunate or could never get anywhere because they are fat/ugly
4. think of yourself as fat or ugly

JUST STOP

Ok. Maybe you think you are stating the truth, but really you are just vomiting all of your shallowness and judgmental crap into the open air, that maybe you should only whisper to yourself because of how ashamed you should feel for even thinking these "truths."

Or maybe you are just creating conversation, gossip, entertainment, or a joke, but really you are the opposite of hilarious, you are hurtful.

While maybe you just pity people because their appearances are going to hinder them for the rest of their lives... well maybe there you are right because there are too many people like you.

And maybe you think you are fat or ugly, and maybe you are right, and maybe you have the wrong definition of beautiful and healthy, and maybe you have the wrong friends or role models, and maybe you just aren't looking through the eyes of your creator.

A little reminder to those of you who are able to lose weight by eating healty and exercising. Not everyone's body works the same as yours. Not everyone's metabolism works correctly.

Does anyone even remember all of the cliche things people have told you when you have had self-esteem issues. Beauty is only skin deep. What matters is the inside. These aren't just cushy little expressions for naive people, they are truths and pieces of wisdom. Learn them.

Now I hardly think this applies to many of you, but if you are worried about someones healthy because of how overweight they are, why in the heck would it help to call them fat. Why would it even help to talk about them when they weren't there. Go ahead and worry. Go ahead and encourage healthy behavior, but please stop with the negativity.

If you still think it's ok to call people fat and ugly, please challenge me. I promise to be correct. This is not an issue where I will accept that everyone has a different opinion.
