Thinking normally padded women are fat. No, their not.
It's those walking Tinker Toys used as models for women's clothes that are the dysfunction.

plucked, tweezed, and have make up loaded on like drywall compound don't help the average woman or girl with their images. I was very surprised to learn, some years ago, that so many of the women I work with have breast implants. One co-worker even told me that "lots of girls I went to high school with asked for that for graduation." It kills me that some of the cash graduation gifts I've given might have gone to this end. I'd much rather have seen it used for natural high!!

she really has no confidence at all. The sad part is that she doesn't care so much about herself but she gets livid when she hears her mother complain about her granddaughter getting hefty.


she was also livid when she saw US magazine giving weight lose tips for Kate Middleton who just had a baby. For a girl who just had a baby the girl looked awesome.


If this country care as much as children going to school hungry or the homeless as they do about who's gain weight or who dumped who we would have a much better country
