Body image is a huge problem with today’s society. Everyone wants to look like the next person and no one is ever happy with the way they look. Us as women fall into this a lot because of media, celebrities, depression, peer pressure, jealousy among other things. .jpg)
Everyone wants to be thin and lose weight. I personally would love to gain weight but I rarely hear women say this I guess because I am already petite. I think curves are in and I really don’t understand why anyone would want to be very skinny. I think looking and being healthy is the best thing a woman can be.
But for those who have written e-mails suggestion weight loss tips here is what I found.
Specific diet plans are popular but difficult to follow, and may be too restrictive for long term weight maintenance. Adopting healthy habits may be a more practical means of attaining a healthier weight for many people. In order to lose a pound a week, 500 fewer calories must be accumulated per day (either through reduced food intake or exercise) (Brigham and Women's Hospital).

I've always been super skinny, but recently i've packed on a couple of pounds. I guess because i had a child. Now it seems like forever to get the weight off, and i barely have any time for the gym.
Im a plus size woman and I love everything about it. I'm not being cocky I'm just really comfortable with my weight. I feel every should be comfortable with their size. Thats how god intended it to be.
