Seventeen magazine's Body Peace Project aims to let girls everywhere that it's alright being ourselves, no matter what we look like or what we eat. Struggling in accepting the way you are? You can start by signing Seventeen's Body Peace Pledge! Just click here to sign!

Seventeen's Body Peace Pledge:

• Remember that the sun will still rise tomorrow even if I had one too many slices of pizza or an extra scoop of ice cream tonight.
• Never blame my body for the bad day I'm having.
• Stop joining in when my friends compare and trash their own bodies.
• Never allow a dirty look from someone else to influence how I feel about my appearance.
• Quit judging a person solely by how his or her body looks — even if it seems harmless — because I'd never want anyone to do that to me.
• Notice all the amazing things my body is doing for me every moment I walk, talk, think, breathe...
• Quiet that negative little voice in my head when it starts to say mean things about my body that I'd never tolerate anyone else saying about me.
• Remind myself that what you see isn't always what you get on TV and in ads — it takes a lot of airbrushing, dieting, money, and work to look like that.
• Remember that even the girl who I'd swap bodies with in a minute has something about her looks that she hates.
• Respect my body by feeding it well, working up a sweat when it needs it, and knowing when to give it a break.
• Realize that the mirror can reflect only what's on the surface of me, not who I am inside.
• Know that I'm already beautiful just the way I am.

That is the right way on how we should think about ourselves by thinking POSITIVE! We do not have to starve ourselves just to be slim like the models. We must be proud of who we are and not let that little voice in you to criticise about your body. Just remember this: You will always remain beautiful as long as you think positively.
