I want to feel weightless and that should be enough.

 Body image. 

Young women seems to have this obsession with being perfect.

Magazines are filled with glossy pictures of unrealistic images. 

You turn the t.v on to see flawless people. 

This media brainwashes us into wanting that. 

I guess i was lucky, I remember asking as a child if i was fat, my parents always responded telling me i was "healthy". 

I asked my parents at age 8 if i could have my ears pierced, by my 9th birthday i had proved i was grown up and reasonable enough to have my new piercings and take care of them. Mum took me to pick out a pair of studs (tiny gold hearts which i still have to this day), and to have my ears pierced. 

Most little girls have piercings these days, tiny babies have tiny studs in their ears, I'm glad my parents let me choose... at age 20 i now have 8 piercings!... Much to my parents dismay! 

This positive influence followed me though my preteen years. I was not introduced to makeup, shaving or hair dyes until i was well into my first year of high school when i started complaining of bullying. 

My Mother taught my to shave my legs and brought me some basic foundation and mascara. 

This kept me happy for the next 12 months, until i decided i needed a BRA...

God knows what for, the tiny goosebumbs forming on my chest!?

Once again, dear old mum took me shopping and we picked out a couple of crop top type bras. 

Once again, I'm content for another year or so. 

When i began dying my hair,

Slowly my makeup bag filled, eyeliners, lipsticks and powers,

My first underwire and padded bra!,

My hair would soon be every colour of the rainbow,

A couple more peircings later...

Im 20 and my parents positive influence really shows. 

I hate seeing girls calling their bodies discussing or gross. 

There are things i don't like about my body, in fact, it was harder then i thought to post photos on here of myself in only bra and knickers... I found myself retaking the photos, trying to find sneaky angles, pushing up this, sucking in that. 

But the truth is, there is no part of my I'm disgraced by. 

I wish my tummy was flat and toned. 

My thighs touch when i have my feet together- so sue me! 

My breasts could be a little bigger. 

My bum, rounder.

My skin, clearer. 

My waist, smaller. 

See for yourself...

All of my little imperfections, can you see them? 

You probably can't see all the things i dislike about myself, just like no one else can see yours! 

I can force my body to be different, but staving or spending all my time at the gym isn't worth it to me. 

My body is still healthy and it will never be perfect. 

Im a size 10-12 and i think that is just fine. 

I think every size is FINE, as long as you are happy with yourself and see the bigger picture. 

We are all perfect people- don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
