Don't be offended by the title. I've spent my entire life being called "pretty" by my parents, family members, guys, friends, etc... I was the "pretty girl" inside and out. Growing up I was barely 90lbs soaking wet and flat as a board (I remember lying on my license I weighed 100!- I know gross), but I was "pretty". In college I finally got some curves and I was the "pretty" 120lb college dancer. Now I'm the 33-yr old 158 lb girl...whose "pretty on the inside"- PRETTY ON THE INSIDE??? Why am I no longer pretty on the outside? I'm sick of it!
My uncle had Downs Syndrome and was one of the most positive loving people, unless he wanted a coke. "Coke" he yells louder and louder. If no one would get him one he screams "Coke, I SAID NOW DAMN IT!!" Though funny to anyone around him, it's the point- he's tired of not getting what he wants.
I'm at my point. I'm tired of hearing "She's so great, and if she was only 15lbs thinner so and so would be all about her" or "You could have any guy you wanted, if only you lost some weigh UGH!
That's it. I'm done and I'm ready to get up and actually do something about it.
Why?
Cause "I'M PRETTY DAMN IT!!!"
