Operation Beautiful

So I was exploring the internet... the usual thing I do when I am bored... and I came across this campaign that I think is amazing.
The point of this campaign is to end negative self-talk or “Fat Talk" by posting notes around public places (school, stores, in books, etc.) that are positive and uplifting.
I love this campaign because I feel like there is a lot of pressure to look a certain way in the society we live in. The media is expecting us to be a size 0 and they want us to do everything in our power to accomplish it. In reality, this isn't possible. We are who we are and we were made a certain way.
This campaign is great because it is always great to have positive inspiration. Imagine going to use the bathroom in a public mall and as you close the stall door, you see a post-it that says
"You are gorgeous."
Of course this would make you feel good about yourself because it was an unexpected note... but I am sure it made your day.
I feel that more people should be aware of this campaign. It is a great way to remind ourselves that we are perfect the way we are.
You can even join the mission. All you need is a pen and paper!
