It was all because I was a little bit bigger than you.

To The Person Who Tried To Make Me Feel Worthless,

Screw you.

I don't know why you think it is okay to make someone feel bad about themselves because of their weight. Obviously, I'm not as fit or in shape as you, but it gives you no reason to look down on me as a person. You have no right to make me feel like shit regarding my eating habits or exercise routines. I've tried to better myself health wise while you should be trying to better yourself personality wise. Because if you think you are able to push me down like that, then you need a reality check.

I have tried to better myself by eating healthy and exercising more. I have tried to lose weight and go to the gym almost every day. When it isn't in your daily routine, it's hard. A habit takes 21 days to form, but at least I've made an effort. I don't look like this for you. I don't have to look like this for you. I don't have to meet your standards. I have people who love me the way I am.

I don't know what happened in your life to make you so hateful towards someone. In this day and age we should be spreading body positivity, not body shaming. It's actually kind of embarrassing for you. You know what? I'm sorry. I'm sorry you have so much hate in your heart. I'm sorry that you feel as if you're better than someone because of their waist size. I'm sorry that you feel so compelled to taunt someone over something so small (no pun intended).

Don't get me wrong, this article is not just for big women or men, but for smaller people as well. Smaller men and women have at some point in their lifetime experienced that one line, "Maybe you should eat a cheeseburger every once in a while". You never know what someone may be doing to help them either lose weight or gain weight. Body shaming is never okay, whether you are thick or thin. It's crazy to think that it is 2016 and people are still criticizing other people's body's.

When growing up, public schools always taught us to treat others the way we would want to be treated. You obviously didn't follow those rules, unless you want me to snap back and belittle every thing wrong with you. I won't do that. Because I know I am a much better person than you are. And honestly, if I had lower self esteem I would probably be starving myself right now. Thankfully, it takes a lot to push me down. There are so many men and women out there who don't have a good support system or a high self esteem and small things may hurt them emotionally. I just don't see the purpose of trying your hardest to hurt someone so deeply over something so stupid.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
