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!
You shouldn’t feel ugly or unwanted. Everyone at that age has a lot of struggles with their looks. Your body and your face is probably changing. You should embrace your beauty and know that everyone is beautiful in their own way. Next time look in the mirror and point out all the things you like about yourself! Don’t be depressed you are too young to be unhappy! You have a wonderful life that is waiting for you to live! Learn to love yourself for who you are. Stick up for yourself and also stick up for your friends. Keep your head up and try to smile when you want to cry! I hope this helps you too!
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.
