Wasn't able t...Thanks Lorena for your comments. Wasn't able to answer this sooner. The pictures that initiated all the comments are so important because I think every American woman suffers from thinking she isn't "good" enough or "attractive" enough, especially when images of this abound everywhere. Even some young men buy into the baloney. I have been infuriated about this for ALL of my life, ALL! Only recently I think I worked through it so I could lose weight carefully and take 2 years and more to do it. But I was a teacher and have seen a lot of the girls suffer about their weight, needlessly. To some extent, I think it has gotten better. I hope so. Writing a book about this. Cultural attitudes...which destroy must be changed. Anyway, thanks so much for sharing here. Keep in touch. Am going to write an article about the link you FB. Thanks again.Carole Di Tostihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11831790843436160256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8563839854714602285.post-72954976123495896932012-01-13T09:11:04.627-08:002012-01-13T09:11:04.627-08:00AMEN!!! This post is so true. And thank you for be...AMEN!!! This post is so true. And thank you for being brave and probably handling the haze of comments from insecure women who INSIST that being the perfect size 4 is the holy grail of all women. Women are beautiful because of WHO they are...that's where the real beauty is. We as a society have to get that soon or we got a lot of unhappy young girls turning into destructive women.Lorena Batheyhttp://www.lorenabbooks.comnoreply@blogger.com
