Operation Beautiful


Okay I think everyone needs to see this. What an aweseome thing. I've actually seen a few of these around and not only do they make me smile, but it reminds me that there is still alot of good in this world. Here is what the founder has posted on her website.

The Mission
The goal of the Operation Beautiful website is to end negative self-talk or “Fat Talk.” If this little blog only does one productive thing, I hope it helps readers realize how truly toxic negative self-talk is — it hurts you emotionally, spiritually, and physically.

Through my own experiences fighting Fat Talk, I’ve realized the power behind an anonymous act such as Operation Beautiful. When I post a note, I’m saying, “I CHOOSE to be positive!”

I began Operation Beautiful by leaving positive messages on the mirrors of public restrooms — at work, at the gym, at the grocery store. I scribble down whatever comes to mind — "You are beautiful!" or "You are amazing just the way you are!" My personal goal is to leave as many Operation Beautiful notes as I can. Maybe some people read them and just smile, but I am willing to bet some people are truly touched by the effort of a random stranger.

Operation Beautiful is simple: all you need is a pen and a piece of paper.
There is something special about women encouraging women. Love each other, be kind, and believe in the beautiful person that you are. It has taken me a long time and a lot of effort and pain to find myself and who I am and to realize that I really am beautiful. I still have my moments of weakness, we all do, but no matter what I might need to improve on, I am still beautiful. God doesn't make mistakes.
Always remember ...
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. -Plato
