I'll give ya all balance shall i

I've been a size 16+ not happy bullied for being fat & ive been a size 10 - which is anorexic looking on me, now im keeping to be the perfect 14 which looks great on me & healthy as in preportion, dont forget we have different builds small, medium & large bone structures. People & the media determine skinny & fat, verging on perferable on the skinny side - look at all the women photographed in ok & other mags, likes of Mrs Beckham, Kate Moss etc lucky if any are over a 10............so that makes size 14 considered fat - the real problem is so many teeenage & pre teens having weight issues when they dont need to, my daughter last year had a real prob with her body image, meaning looking in mirror seeing herself bigger than she actually is!! Is it body dismorphia or something

i spent many days just making my daughter see reality & removing the blinkers psychologically. I can agree with slinky that putting on weight is harder than losing - as done both, but for both sides of the spectrum putting it on or taking it off is hard!

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder & a positive state of mind whether to do something about it or to make the best - no one should be bullied or feel ashamed as to whether slim or big, as a quote from a film aptly says god makes us all in different shapes & different colours it would be boring if we were all the same off a production line

Life is too short be happy, worrying about it dont make it better or easier the less you focus on it - the better as the stress of it makes it worse.
