Holy Bananas & Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not sure where to begin or what to say...
I've never considered myself a model,
even though I've done a few photo shoots
and got published once.
Like most women today, I've battled with my weight and self image.
I'm not obese, but I carry a few extra pounds.
My body has been ridiculed by some, and praised by others.
The media and fashion, at least in my lifetime,
doesn't support people my size... they support "skinny."
Now, I'm not knocking "skinny" girls...
some of them have tried to put on weight but can't.
And for some of them "skinny" is their natural and healthy body.
But for the vast majority of us that aren't "skinny,"
it's an unhealthy (mentally and sometimes physically) goal to try to attain.
So, in viewing my morning media, when this popped up,
(http://lifestyle.msn.com/your-life/just-dreaming/articleglamour.aspx?cp-documentid=21997158>1=32002)
you can imagine my surprise and elation.
Media.... supporting ALL body types.
The world is changing.... finally... and thankfully.
