Every time you look in the mirror, you don't like what you see, but you can also hear everybody you have ever complained to, saying, "YOU ARE NOT FAT!!!" This is one of those situations where you don't fit into the size you want to fit in, but you also don't fit into a size that is considered "fat." It is a continuing issue of body positivity that nobody seems to get.

Aly Raisman gave a speech not long ago that said don't say negative things about your body but start your day off saying 5 positive things about your body. This made me think that why would an athletic gymnast have body positivity issues, but then it hit me, they wear those skin-tight leotards that show off every imperfection. Those gymnasts are not even close to being fat, but they also are not sticks because they are so muscular. I started to think after that, at least they are muscular instead of having fat rolls.

Having rolls does not institute that you are fat, it just means that you have meat on your bones. You may not have that flat stomach that "ALL" of your friends have, but you need to learn to love your body with all of your imperfections. Just realize that some people might want to be the size that you are, but you just can't appreciate it because you are too busy noticing all of the bad things about your body.

Think about this, no matter how bad you think you look, there are a thousand people that think that you are beautiful. You can also think not only with weight, but that your hair, personality, or just overall looks are amazing because I promise you they are. You are beautiful no matter what you think and I am here to tell you to stop looking at your body as fat or not and start looking at your overall well being!

You are perfect inside and out and don't let anybody (including yourself) talk you out of feeling perfect!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
