We live in a world where we face weight issues every day. And very few are positive... Women who are 13-15 are the ideal models. These girls haven't even fully developed yet. And there is something very disturbing about holding them up as the standard of what a woman should be...
Fat is considered a terrible thing. No matter how much or how little someone wears on their body. And this just seems sad.
Some insensitive, incompetent doctors will blame everything wrong with someone who is overweight on their weight. Everything must relate back to this in their opinions. Do not believe this... I have had doctors blame my sinus infections on my weight... If you figure this one out, please tell me as he couldn't justify it himself when pressed. *chuckle*
Some women are working to change these attitudes and I commend them! It will take a lot of time and effort, but I do think people can be valued of all shapes and sizes... It just takes time and work.
I hope women (and men for that matter) will challenge what we consider 'beautiful'. I hope that some day fashion magazines will show women of all shapes, sizes and races.
