Support and Motivation? Here's some for you all

Today's society makes women feel that even at a size 6 they are too fat and need to be a size 0 no matter their bone structure or height. Hell even back in the Golden Age of Hollywood studios preferred their actresses to be certain sizes. One of the most iconic actresses of her day was subject to this... and this was Marilyn Monroe. However by today's standards she would be considered to weigh and wear sizes that the average American woman currently wears.





This woman, who was used and by the studio system worked to maintain her body shape from when she was discovered in her late teen years.

Marilyn was not Barbie perfect, and no woman should be. The actualy dimensions of Barbie translated onto a real woman would cause the woman to topple over, back problems and much more.

I say everyone should work to get to and maintain a weight that is healthy for themselves based on their age, bone structure and sex.

I want to congratulate everyone on this site for their commitments to getting healthy and for getting to their goals.

I know that it has been a difficult road, however I am thankful for having the support of my friends and family to help be get from 173 lbs to 126.8lbs and a combined total of 39 inches all over, :drinker: here's to losing another 10-25 more and getting to my "healthy" weight and look.
