PERFECTIONIST
Hi! I’m Olivia Sanders and I’m a perfectionist. I have wanted a skinny body. So 18 months ago I started to compare myself to the beautiful thin women I could see on TV or in beauty magazines. I felt I wasn’t thin enough. I was fourteen then and I became really depressed about it. I began starving myself. Soon I started having stomachache and made myself eat something just to get rid of the pain.
I started hearing voices in my head. One voice would tell me not to do anything stupid, that I was fine enough the way I was. Other voices told me to keep doing what I was doing, that I was fat and ugly. My boyfriend broke with me. He couldn’t deal with me because I was crazy about my weight and was always speaking about this problem. I convinced myself that we parted because I wasn’t good enough. I got so depressed and I decided that I had to stop living.
Fortunately, I met Judy Anderson. She tried to explain to me a lot of things. Some time passed and I began thinking about what she had said.
Really, some people are better looking than others — that’s life. But how much does that matter? Why should I hate my body? It’s part of me and I’m not only my body. Everyone is different. Everyone has different body shapes and in a way we are lucky to be unique no matter what we look like. It’s useless to compare oneself to other people, it only makes you bitter. If you’re unhappy with your body, change mentally. Whenever you have a negative thought, try to think about something positive.
So I started eating a little healthier. I joined a gym for exercise. Now I feel much better. I have come to peace with my body. And when I look back at the photos I’m absolutely sure that the thing that makes girls most attractive is being happy and relaxed with themselves. One should stop trying to be like other girls and start appreciating their good points. The secret is to like what you have been given.
