I'll never be old while I'm still alive

Do it for the confidence

Do it for the size jeans

Do it for the bikini pictures

Do it for the piggy back rides

Do it for the boy 

Do it for the wow 

Do it for YOU

Uhm, no. Never do it because of a boy. Never do it for bikini pictures. Never do it for the jean size. Never do it for the wow. Never do it for piggy back rides. Never do it for any of these reasons, but for yourself. And do you not realize there are so many girls who are the size you want to be that lack the confidence you assume they have? Confidence isn’t about the size you are, it’s how you feel about yourself. Sure, weight loss and weight gain can help boost or lower it; but you’re the one who controls the thoughts about yourself. If you feel like shit at a size 16, you’re going to feel like shit at a size 0 because you’re always going to feel like you’re never going to be enough. You’ll see someone who looks ‘better’, ‘fitter’ than you. 

Never do it because you feel you should in order to feel accepted. Do it because you want a different lifestyle and you’re willing to work for it. And never starve yourself to your goal weight, whether you’re trying to gain/lose lbs, because that won’t work. Always do it healthy and with a lot of patience.
