I am totally fed up with the weight loss industry and the world of fashion brainwashing society. How many women are actually tall willowy little stick insects with no hips and flat chests? How many women do you know that exist on bottled water and 24 hours of exercise? Certainly nobody that I know, and I happen to know a good deal of women!

Why should we be made to feel like there is something wrong with us for having a bit of flesh on our bones? When did it become a crime to be curvy? It certainly never used to be like that 50 years ago, look at Marilyn Monroe for example, there was nothing thin and waiflike about her and yet she was a noted sex symbol... so when did it change? Should we blame Twiggy for the anorexic look becoming fashionable, desirable, sought after?

Logically we all know that thin does not equal happiness. In spite of no connection between happiness and external appearance, we have allowed ourselves to be convinced that pounds and inches measure our self-worth and gift us with happiness, when the truth is that happiness can only ever come from inside.

I 've finally had enough of endless diets and tears in changing room mirrors, I am a size 22 and I am proud of who I am and what I look like.. and THAT is all that matters!!

Yours truly,

Curvelicious
