Being a skinny girl most bigger set women are automatically going to come at me with a 'what the hell does she know?' response, well at least the thick chicks that I know. I don't know much about being a heavy set woman in fact the last time that I was heavy I was in diapers. However while looking on line and browsing through the pics of People I noticed that Victoria Beckham was once again doing her 'I'm so fabulous' pose and written by one of the many writers of People was (Victoria Beckham isn't afraid to show off her thin arms.<- please don't quote me on this). When did thin become a requirement or a goal that so many of us seek? When did having the right image of your self be replaced with having the image that so many people expect of you? Like I said I am a skinny girl, last time I weighed myself I think I was about 120 lbs and I am about 5'6 but doing the opposite of what most people do, I freak out if I lose weight. Being a size 2 or 3 does not declare you beautiful, we all have expectation that we feel that we must meet but when do we stop listening to the expectations of others and just start loving ourselves for who we are? A size 7, 8, 10, 13 What makes you sexy? We spend so much time trying to fulfil the needs of a stranger and we totally look past the ones that no us for who we are. Fuck it! maybe today I am a size 3 tomorrow is not expected to have the same results and if my ass starts to spread then whatever I am going to die happy and healthy. The point that I am trying to make is find the image that suits YOU best, screw the world because at the end of the day Fat or Skinny You still look good and you still know who You are.

It's easier said than done. You say that if and when you gain weight you will be happy with yourself but the likelihood of this happening is slim. It's harder to be proud of yourself and see yourself as beautiful when you're a size 12 because it is constantly shoved in your face that it's not.
I agree that people should be happy with their body even if they aren't seen as beautiful by the media. Being a thick girl I have learned to love my curves and to see the beauty in them. Even when I was thinner I still had a bigger butt and hips than the rest of my friends and realized that this is just the way I'm built.
The reason why thin is beautiful is because that's what we are told. If in the next five years you start seeing more thick women as beautiful people will begin to follow trend and thin will not longer be associated with beauty.

Couldn't agree with you more, but if we start at a young age. Teaching our children to love themselves, feeding them knowledge of who they are, then it is possible to one day have a majority who love it. One day I hope to be apart of that revolution, to throw your hands in the air release the binds of a garter belt and stop spending a ridiculous amount on Botox and saying "Baby it is what it is! Love it!"
