And in pictures, I think I look tiny. And yet that’s still considered “big” and my weight for my height according to the chart should be 20 pounds lighter. WHAT?? So yeah, I can’t figure out what we women are thinking, allowing all these designers and executives tell us what’s beautiful! I buy Dove products because of their positive body image ads and programs. I have ALWAYS hated being called a “big girl.” I am a 10/12 at my goal weight. And in pictures, I think I look tiny.

My goal weight will put me at a 14/16 - just a size over my wedding weight and I looked incredible then! In 1989 I went into a dress store looking for a gown. I told them I needed a size 12 and was told they didn't carry sizes "that large." HUH?? At the time, a friend of the family was a model, also a size 12, but she was much taller than me. 12 - too large??? I agree, where on earth will you find a size 10 in a plus-sized store? The women they chose to models-size clothing are barely 12s - barely! I find it absurd. The fact that they would alter this woman's picture, especially after all she's been through just proves the vanity and insanity of this world. It's an awful thought that the young girls in our society are growing up seeing this... I thought it was bad when we were young! This industry is appalling!
