To this day when I am super active I quickly shrink to a size 2!(without trying) If I am not as active I quickly gain to a size 11! I am 5'3".<BR/><BR/>I have a very hard time accepting it when I am going up in size. I feel less than valuable which I know is a lot of bull, but still struggle none the less.<BR/><BR/>Honestly though I know I am not an accurate judge of my size. I thought I was "fat" as a size 2!! I would love to get to where I don't care, but it seems a long ways off.<BR/><BR/>Media and society don't help much.<BR/>Tara BTara B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13584312084891112603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-867661039737622377.post-80210271282843568922008-10-29T20:37:00.000-04:002008-10-29T20:37:00.000-04:00Hurrah!

I didn't escape anorexia in my teens but we're determined she will. I also know many skinny, control-freak types who would be curvy if they'd let themselves.<BR/>Very great post,<BR/>PaulaPaula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-867661039737622377.post-90991044011606178592008-10-29T19:39:00.000-04:002008-10-29T19:39:00.000-04:00Great post!I have to say I'm not curvy at all.

The first step to being a more comfident person is accepting your body. I admire girls and women who go against what the world says and don't diet or try to lose weight to fit the norm. I've seen what eating disorders can do to people: It ruined my friend's life. So being a size above 3 doesn't make you any different from anyone else.Lonely Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05792726532101727497noreply@blogger.com
