Seriously.

I don't know why I even bother with this, because I know some poster will shoot me down BUT I must admit my weight has always fluctuated. I'm 5'6, have big boobs, and range from 130 to 145 to 150 and up and down. My wedding dress was a size 8 and I weighed 145. My prom dress in HS was a size 13 (my boobs were so hard to accommodate) and I weighed 130. I also wore a pants size of 4-5 at this weight. At the weight of 150lbs, and even at my heaviest of 165, I could still fit a size 8 jeans but felt more comfy in a 10. Heck, some 12s even fit great.

Even at my heaviest, did I think I was fat? Sometimes, yes. Some days I'd feel lean and skinny, then see some star on TV looking so thin, or a magazine cover, and immediately compare myself. Walking into Victoria's Secret and seeing the thin sexy models made me cringe. DUMB! Hello those women have been photoshopped and the women on TV probably eat 1 meal a day. I rather be full and happy than to be starving all the time. (Obviously if you are 300 plus you should try to get healthy and maybe lay off the junk food). In our society, it's a constant battle for me to remind myself that every woman is different. Every woman has different bone structure, breast sizes, hip sizes, torso lengths. So comparing ourselves is silly and only makes us miserable. If you're healthy, good! That's what counts. I have to tell myself all the time that I am beautiful, no matter what my tags say, and am always worthy of being loved. All of us are.
