"...They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with Thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with Thanksgiving, because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer."
Now I know you probably are going to freak out because this is a quote from the Bible, mentioning God and belief. But I assure you, this is only quoted so that in it you find reassurance and maybe even enlightenment.
What It Means
I want to point out to you that this passage talks about people who tell those not to eat certain foods. This is a reflection upon real life, and how people tell you there are only certain foods you should eat in order to watch your weight.
But because God gave you this food and created it, you should be able to eat it gratefully because it is food and it allows you to live, rather than looking at certain foods and thinking, "I need to watch what i'm eating. I don't want to get fat, or become fatter than I already am."
What i'm saying is, it's okay to eat foods sometimes even if they're not good for you! Don't care about what other people think; God gave you that food as a gift, if it's a brownie or maybe even ice cream. Allow yourself to be grateful to have that food.
Now that doesn't mean you stuff yourself on tons of unhealthy foods, because that isn't good for you. I'm saying that you're beautiful and you shouldn't have to worry about your weight or what you eat; sometimes a brownie or one unhealthy food is a gift, and you should take it gratefully!
Secondly, "...For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected..."
This also can be related to ourselves. If God created us, then we - no matter what - are good and beautiful, and we are not to be rejected; If you are rejected, a person is so wrong in doing so. Instead you should be welcomed in thanksgiving; This person should be completely grateful that you're in their life and they should realize you are a gift. And because God created you, you are a gift, and he gave you to this person, and he gave this person to you, so that you might be happy.
If you've been rejected, you're not the problem; it's the person. They are not meant to make you happy, and frankly, they don't deserve to make you happy.
You're beautiful, each and every one of you reading this, and each and every one of you that isn't.
