Every morning, I look myself in the eyes.
I see myself, and I feel beautiful,
Regardless of a society that says otherwise.
I'm comfortable with myself.

Sure, there are things I'd like to change.
Being the way I am, it's not healthy.
But I'm not unhappy for it.
I have very few chinks in my armor.

I'm not sensitive about my weight,
or my dry skin, or my rebellious hair.
Sure, comments about these things suck,
but they don't get to me, much.

But there is one thing that gets me.
When someone else drags themself down.
"I'm so fat," they say, right in front of me.
Often, they're miles closer to healthy than me.

There's the rub, right there.
I cannot stand it, this behavior.

They put themselves down about it,
Without thinking about the one watching.
My armor has few chinks, and this is but one.
Seriously, I hate it when other people say things like that and than expect me to agree, even though I'm heavier than they are. I honestly wish people would think more about others before spouting nonsense. D: <

I'm confident in my self 97% of the time, but comments like that are the ones that make me want to punch someone, because they make me second guess myself.

I really enjoyed reading this piece! You make a great point. I hope this message can spread to more people and so people stop degrading themselves because it also degrades others when they do this. :) Great writing!
