FAT SKINNY WHATEVER

DIARY #1

Dear diary,
Do you know what I'm sick of? Ex-pect-ations. Like seriously, is their a need to remind girls everyday that their will always be someone skinnier or prettier? I can't even watch the 7am episode of Jeremy Kyle in peace without being bombarded with about 20 different adverts featuring absolutely gorgeous models with perfectly refined makeup and polished slim figures. It's like there's a group of people set out to destroy all self esteem and little confidence that teenage girls just like me have.

It. needs. to. stop.

How am i supposed to finish my galaxy cookie crumble bar without feeling guilty about my weight? my mum says I have a ''to die for'' figure, erm more like i would die to NOT have this figure. God mum. Its not like she means it, she only says it because she loves me and knows i need my esteem boosting about 23 hours of the day (the other hour is when i actually sleep).

You see, most of my time is spent up late on my laptop doing lots of pointless shit that doesn't need to be done at 3.a.m.  Obviously this doesn't help with my self esteem, because the lack of sleep results in bags under my eyes which makes me appear grey and miserable..attractive right? And i mean, you cant possibly stay up past midnight without a midnight snack can you? Well i cant, so i end up scoffing half a bag of mcvities cookies and 2 whole packs of crisps most nights. One word, spots.
To most people the concealer i apply practically makes them invisible but i somehow always feel like everyone is laughing when really their probably catching up with their friends about last nights episode of eastenders.

I've ended up rambling on about crap (typical me), but my point was everyone has their own definition of perfection so i don't see why society's stereotype of a ''perfect'' girl has to haunt teenage girls lives, its silly really. Some things are sooo unfair.

until next time,

A warm welcome!

Hello! Ciao! Salut! I've been wanting to start up a blog for ages (typical) and I have finally got round to it...

..so here i am!

I'm sixteen and this blog is  going to be diary based, focusing on issues in teenage girls lives and the underestimated problems in which we are expected to overcome. I will try to offer guidance, tips and advice and i hope some of you can offer the same.

So if your sitting at home reading this thinking your the only one who over thinks literally EVERYTHING..then you've come to the right place:-)

Until next time

Charleigh xx
