DO NOT DIET!!!

“The leading cause of death among fashion models is falling through street grates.” ladies and gentlemen i had to post this cause this is a serious growing concern not the quote but what it actually means and represents... young women and even some men trying to acheive an unrealstic goal of self worth instead of em...bracing themselves as they are. often we end up hurting ourselves not only physically but emotionally as well from the damage we do trying to be perfect. there is no such thing. to be imperfect and embrace our flaws and demand the world take us as we are that is what perfection is! beauty is not about being thin or being big, beauty is about being true to yourself.
I'm very opinionated especially when it comes to sizes and people complaining about their own size and shape or others. i have a beautiful 16 year old cousin that will scrunch her nose at herself and pinch her stomach and call herself fat it fustrates me. i know the road she's on i have been there.
I may be confident now and appricate my curves and contours but not first without a battle where i hit rock bottom. I can remember wearing baggy jeans and sweaters down to my knees to cover myself , not making love unless i could hide myself and have the lights out, starving myself, crash diets, diet pills all of that. I had no help i had no voice telling me i was beautiful and to love myself so i intend to be that voice for young women.
There is no blame in wanting to be healhty and making better choices and changing your eating habits but DO NOT DIET!!! i can post recipes and otehr hints and tips to follow

rip nikki tait

This beautiful girl is now dead due to a tragic accident, while camping with a friend up on halls harbour mountain her dog got loose and while searching for her beloved pet she fell off a cliff and to her death just a year after burrying her older sister sara.
all three tait girls were like sisters to me, i was always at their home for sleepovers it was my home away from home, since well my home life wasn't much growing up...
i can remember nikki having short piked hair, wearing a spiked dog collar and choke chain for jewerely, bandanna on her head, baggy jeans too big of a t-shirt, always had a cigerette on the go and a mouth full of obscenties as well lol then she somehow became this beautiful girl in the picture above had just finished her term at collage in new brunswick and moved home...
i honestly believe that there has to be some sort of curse upon this family some evil doings of magic somewheres... they loose their mom to cancer and jodi the youngest goes to foster care, then a year ago sara dies only days before her 24th birthday and now nikki.
my heart aches for the loss of two friends who were more like family then anything but i ask rather then telling me how sorry you are for my loss use that to pray for the youngest one jodi, for my wiccan friends and family send blessings and healing and strength she will need it all...
