i hate how the media try and force skinny into our lives like its what everyone else is and what we're supposed to be if we want to be accepted, when on average no one is size 0 or what ever most people are average or above.

also how beauty products are advertised to us by photoshop perfect models...

love this pic!

You are very welcome .
Yes its really amazing

Damn straight, girl! I know for a fact that if it weren't for the media, life would be so much better for every woman. But instead they watch those commercials or hear the ads on the radio every day telling you that skinny is good. Even I've been trapped into that self-esteem issue because of those things. But luckily I have a boyfriend who reminds me that I'm perfect the way I am!

5' 5", 155 pounds, 37 bust, 30 waist, 42 ass, baby! And damn proud of it! xD
