Too Thin

Quote From: photo83

well as i was watching your show about models and how they are role models to women these days. well i really dont think that should be an excuse for women to go and try to lose weight. or get that look like the models. i am an over weight person. and to be honest, i think im beautiful. not because i have a husband who makes me feel beautiful, but just because i have that kind of thinking. i will not let anyone put me down. even though im big, i still dress up to style and do my make up and fix my hair. i will not let myself go. and i dont want to  be judge as a lazy overweight grl. i work, and go to school, i go out and travel. i do things like a normal person. i think its about the person. if what the media says about well if you are not skinny, you wont get a job or get anywhere in life then you're not strong. you must be strong. i feel that everyone is beautiful weather you are thin or big. who cares. if you dont want to be big, lose weight., but by that, i mean work out and eat healthy. i just dont think that we should blame fashion for all of this. but i do wish that as a fashion designer, you should think about plus size women though. we do want to be beautiful too. we do want to dress like thin women. so why not just make clothes for all women? why not try to help us too. because we are who we are.

I hate to say this. But men and mostly gay men have ruined the fashion industry. They are not making clothes for the mature and full figured women.They are designing  for thier IDEAL, which is a 12 yr old boy.That is not the ideal body for a woman.I love gay folks, but think they need to rethink who they are actually selling clothes to. I think the public needs to speak up and buy the clothes from designers that make clothes for them. The almighty dollar does speak. Women it is in your hands who you buy and admire and who you don't. If we stop buying the fashions that ultra thin models wear or going to movies with  tooooo thin actresses, then we send the message.

Money talks bullshit walks. remember that. thanx

I guarantee you have more confidence then they do.  They have to wonder if someone is always calling them fat or skinny.  When you love yourself you don't worry about anything but living life.  Stay Bless and Stay confident.
