Yeah. That's incredible - to see a picture of someone who's probably on the verge of dying and be envious.
We - and I mean the grand "we" of society give so many messages to girls and women. I was shopping the other day thinking I could get some summer clothes on sale. I was looking for my size - which in MY mind is large - 16, 18 - depending upon the cut etc. "Large" was 10-12, "Small" was 6-8 I believe. So let's see: If you're a "normal" woman, you're between size 6 and 12. WTF?
And what's up with 89% of eleven year-olds thinking they're overweight?
