quit drinking milk
I'm Lactose intolerant

Ummm…does that count? I can’t drink milk even if I want to, I get sick.

It’s weird to see people here denouncing drinking milk when sometimes I wish I could just drink a regular glass of milk without puking or going to the restroom.

I guess the cliche is true, It’s always greener on the other side.



pose nude for an artistic photo
why not?

I’m quite insecure with how my body looks. I’ve been quite “good” in a sense that I lost about 15 lbs of unwanted weight, I can actually fit into a size 3 jeans and extra small shirts, but I still look in the mirror and say UGH!

Maybe if I get to pose nude artistically for a photographer who I completely trusts and will make me feel like I’m the hottest girl on earth, JUST MAYBE I’ll start accepting my body. Maybe then I’ll say “Well, I don’t look that bad.”
