I love Jesobel! I like that she stays true to herself! Being overweight isn't exactly fun when you have ignorant people living in this world, but she owns it! That's something that I will always love and respect! To sum it up, Jes loves to bake and cook. She fancies Matt the cutest boy ever, falls for him and then bam! He goes after the girl who has the most ugliest personality ever. Zara. In the end, he dumps her to go to London for a boy band. :/ What made me love Jesobel was her post to her favorite blogger, Imogen who encouraged her to say her truth. No matter how terrifying if was for her. And man, did she speak the truth! "Because you can only win at life if you can wear a bikini with pride." *sarcasm* Even though I'm finally at a place in my life where I am hella comfy with my body, Jesobel encouages me to seriosuly not give a damn about what others think. I love food and food loves me! Got a problem? Take a damn number! In the end, Alex, Hannah's brother falls for her and it's a happy ending! And I'm not mad about it because she deserves it! <3

"....and I hate to break it to you, but thin people are miserable, too, sometimes. Thin people can have low self-esteem. Being thin isn't some magic fix to all life's troubles. You still might not like your instagram pictures. The environment is still going to hell in a handcart. It's not going to boost your scores in tests. It just means you're a bit smaller. End of."

".... Food brings people together and puts smiles on their faces."
".... Food is not the enemy. People are."
".... If you don't like how someone looks, maybe keep it to yourself. There's an idea. How someone else looks is nothing to do with you at all.
Nothing.
Nada."

Reading her post made me scream with empowerment!! I was like, "Go Jes!!!! You betta say it louder for the ignorant punks in the back!!!" I'm going to eat a whole ass cake to myself with nothing but gloriousness and happiness!

Yeah, this was a good read. Def a fav. <3
