So, there is a post-it in one of our stalls at work. It says something like "You are beautiful just the way you are" and directs you to go to www.operationbeautiful.com. It has been there for a couple of weeks, and I just got around to going to the website.
The whole site is dedicated to ending "fat talk" and letting women know they are beautiful just as they are. The idea is for women to write anonymous post-its and leave them in public places for other women to find.
Being pregnant and weighing more than I ever have in my life, I find this idea to be one of the best I have ever heard. Sometimes we make ourselves the punchline of our own fat jokes so that no one will beat us to it. We beat ourselves down so much that we begin to believe it.
So, to all my girls, you are beautiful just the way you are. I don't know a single person who I cannot say that to and mean it!
