"By Alexa Cleary &amp;quot;Does my butt look big in these jeans?&amp;quot; &amp;quot;My thighs look like tree trunks!&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Gosh, I need to go on a run.&amp;quot; Sssssshhh! Girls, stop the fat talk! Fat talk brings us all down - it makes us focus on our insecurities and body hang-ups. It seems that sometimes girls bond over picking our bodies apart, but it can kill our self-esteem and confidence. Monday kicked off Delta Delta Delta&amp;#039;s national campaign to silence fat talk. Thousands of girls are making a pledge to end body hate and start embracing beauty that comes in all different shapes and sizes. Instead of talking about all the things we can&amp;#039;t stand about our bodies, we should focus on what we love about our bodies and celebrate what our bodies can do. Maybe you have muscular thighs, but they may get you through a sweaty session on the soccer field. Or you are tall and tower over all the guys in class? Your super long legs must look amazing in a mini-skirt! We all have things about our body that set us apart - but, being unique and different is what makes us all beautiful. Let&amp;#039;s make a pledge to stop complaining about our bodies. Start giving compliments to others and to yourself. Girls shouldn&amp;#039;t bond over bringing themselves down, but we should build each other up. You look great today :) Make the pledge and vow to end fat talk now! http://www.facebook.com/FatTalkFree?v=wall#!/ "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
