I know this sounds weird, but if you know me, I don't meet strangers and I love to talk to people in line. So last night when my family went to McAlister's and I was left in line behind these teenage girls, I just could not keep my mouth shut. Let me tell you why, when I was that age I was 5'4'' and weighed on a bad day 110. I thought I was huge! So now that I am 5'4'' and don't weigh anywhere close to 110, I want to encourage young girls. Here was this girl was a little shorter than me that couldn't have weighed 100 pounds soaking wet talking how she could have chips, they were fatting, or a potatoe, because it is just fries you know, I HAD ENOUGH. Here is how the conversation went:
Me: Sweetie, you could be blown over by a really big gust of wind, you are beautiful, please don'g worry about anything
Her: (nothing but a stare, like who is this crazy lady)
Me: Enjoy the chips now when you are young, b/c when you have two kids and are over 30, you can't enjoy those chips anymore
Her and her friends: Laugh, but the kind of laugh, like I can't be anything than a size 0!
I know that they think I am weird, but seriously, she was THIN and life is to short to not enjoy some chips at McAlister's! Girls need to look at themselves and think they are beautiful all of the time, no matter what size they are. Now don't get me wrong, I am all about being healthy and eating right and taking care of the body that God gave you, but young girls nowadays care too much and that is how eating disorders happen, I just don't want to see it happen anymore. Thanks for reading and letting me talk. Love to you all!
