I mean, its fine to try to be healthy and exercise daily, but that activity doesn't necessarily mean you'll be thin, fertile, or Republican.

For any young women reading this, I hope you understand that you aren't obligated to conform to any standard at all. I hope you are happy, healthy, and have great friends / family who look out for you and support you for you.

If you are too thin and active your cycle can get all fucky!
