Fuck Yo Goal Weight.

& mines too; cuz it's all BULL SHIT.
i usually don't get too too personal, but f*ck it here i go. so lately, because
of i don't know what my weight has fluctuated pretty regularly on the scale.
since summer i have lost 10 pounds without stepping foot into a gym, & well
what do you know? i have finally reached my goal weight. -- maybe due to
stress, maybe from treking across campus all day in the desert & burning more
calories. i am not sure. what i am sure about however, is that besides my
clothes fitting a tad bit nicer, & people commenting on how slim & trim i now
am; I AM PISSED THE FUCK..ALL THE WAY OFF!!!! why you ask?
-- because who on God's green earth invented the term "goal weight" anyway?
a "goal weight" is an imaginary made up number that females more often than
males idolize & deem fit for themselves & sometimes others. it's a range one has
to stay within or else he or she is considered too heavy, over weight, a fat-so,
a fat ass, a cow etc. REALLY, it's a number that i am sick & tired of, & i rebuke
thou number in the name of all things healthy and fit. seriously people, THIS
SHIT IS GETTING HELLA RIDICULOUS & SAD. the pressure to be thin nowadays
is absurd. both society & the culture we live in has made it almost impossible
for anyone NOT to feel at least a little bit self conscious about his or her body
type. i won't dare say that i can fully relate, but i will say that i can now
empathize with anyone suffering from any type of eating disorder. i have always
been the bigg-ER girl growing up with hips, thighs, booty etc, & to finally hit my
"goal weight" & to still feel the exact same way i did two, five, ten pounds
heavier sucks like hell. i finally obtained my sought after number on the scale,
& i feel NO different whatsoever. i am not any happier by this new magic number,
& i sure as hell feel no prettier. so,as i finish this rant i just want to say,
"fuck yo goal weight & mine because it means NADA ZIP ZERO!" remember to
never ever render uncertainty when distinguishing between the terms "goal weight"
& "self worth". the two do not equate & nor will they ever. a number on a scale
should in no way determine how you feel about yourself & others. living a healthy
life is what's most important. --> yes, there are still some mornings where i look
into the mirror & see my body as imperfect, but no longer will i let a misconstrued
image of myself dictate my thoughts, my emotions, my feelings, my life. love your
body babies. it was made by God & God don't make mistakes honey. ♥

  1. Loved this so much. Mirrored my thoughts exactly. I've lost weight lately for no reason at all, & I don't feel any different. I just like to feel healthy.

    Girls obsess over the weirdest shit sometimes, & it makes me sad because we should be doing other things..not worrying about our "goal weight" or if one nutri grain bar will go to our hips. My weight goes to my stomach, lmfao. Oh well, I'm happy:)

    Thanks for this post, dear!
