Hey, I’m 12 years old & I’ve been crying in my room alot because I feel ugly and unwanted…I listen to music alot too. But I found this website & I’m so happy I did. I realize I’m not alone. (:
you’re not alone dear. and you’re very beautiful! you’re stronger than you think!
Hello to all the lovelies over at Operation Beautiful!!
I have both your books and have started a sticky note campaign at the middle school where I work. I love seeing all the positive and uplifting notes submitted to your website each day, and how much good can come from such a simple gesture. I’m looking for a daily calendar, to keep in my classroom to inspire students, and was thinking it would be a wonderful idea to have an Operation Beautiful calendar, with each day displaying a sticky note. Do you currently have one available that I can purchase? If not, any recommendations on a similar type of daily calendar?
Loving all that you do and appreciative of the movement you have inspired,

Over the past few months I had been struggling with my weight. My parents and friends had told me that I was perfect just the way I was, but of course I didn’t listen. I had started to starve myself, because I thought that it would help me lose weight. A few weeks ago I was looking for some books in the library when I came across this book called “Operation Beautiful” I decided to read the book and give a try. Now I’m convinced that I’m not fat, but perfect just the way I am. I’ve stopped starving myself and I’m back to eating normally. Your book and all the wonderful notes inside of it has inspired me to start posting notes too. Now I post notes where ever I go and I hope and pray that whoever finds them is as equally blessed, just as I was. Keep up the good work it really pays off.
Look, I and a guy ad i know i sound strange but I am needing this site I am 13 years old and emotional highly emotional right now and i think i am going to join you and all of you are really helping by posting on this site I want to thank you all for showing me how i should live my life and I want tho give a special thanks to the creator of this site i love you all
