my worst critic

Someone very wise somewhere once said "We are our own worst critics"

But isnt that the most hypocritical statement ever?

if we are ALL our own worst critics, the person who said it must criticise themselves terribly too.

But thats why im about to post the most hypocritical blog ever, because even though its terribly hypocritical, its true and its relatable.



I will be quite sexist in this blog, and I may talk about myself at times, which for me is usually a no no in blogs, but I will use girls such as myself as examples of what im talking about.



Can anyone in the world honeslty say, they have no phycisal fault.



answer: no.



sorry, not even magan fox or hayley williams is perfect. I mean I'll admit you have people in life who think their perfect, but even they look in the mirror and see things they dont like.

First of all I'll talk about attention seekers.

People call me one. Allot of the time, I know thy say Im vein and attention seeking, would you like to know why? well Im gunna tell you.
Its because I cant accept a compliment. I know that If I posted this blog listing all the reasons I hate myself, people would start with the "Oh, no your not"
No matter how honest your being, in your own head you may genuinly mean it, but to me its a lie, I cant see it in myself, so naturally I cant accept it when people say it. I see other people like it around me everyday.

Here are a few things that will make you think twice about all of this.
The average clothes size for a woman in britain is a size 16
They now use size 12 models on catwalks at london fashion week.
becoming size zero at any point in your life could shorten your life by up to 7 years.
anorexia and bullemia kill twice as many teenage girls as knife crime, and drugs.
the reason 11% of people turn to anphetamines is to induce weight loss.
the most basic treatment for an eating disorder, costs the NHS £25,000
your twice as likely to develop an eating disorder in your teenage years, than you are to have a teenage pregnancy.

Those are ACTUAL statistics. that is all god damned honest truth.
now I know this isnt all about weight, its about self esteem, but I know this can be a massive probelm for allot of peoples self esteem. I hate my body, I hate the size, the shape, I would truly love you live as anybody else, so I can relate to it.

But the point of todays blog was not meant to be about eating disorders, its about how you feel about yourself, I know thats it can sometimes be hard to finnd anything you like in that mirror, but everyone has a good side, and everyone has their flaws, so If I were you, try and pick just one part of yourself you like, and focus on it tremendously. Like I said, its a hypocritical blog, it doesnt mean I have to do it :P

I kind of got side tracked today, but only because its something I feel so passionate about, But I will still give you food for thought as always, even though nobody reads these things anymore.

If you have one thing you like about yourself what is it?
