If your garment is size zero O – and you wear that garment – and you don’t wear another garment – you are naked

I think you’ve hit the crux of this. SOMETHING in our culture IS feeding this ridiculous attitude. So all we can do is as individuals start trying to take it BACK. Teach our children better, give them the self-confidence to maintain a healthy body image: strong and healthy, not starving themselves into submission. After all, we can’t be strong if we don’t have any energy, and energy requires FOOD. Your daughter sounds awesome. I hope she keeps that wonderful attitude!

While shopping at Century 21 this weekend, she looked at size zero shorts and said, “That’s not for adults. My booty fits in those.” She got a kick out of it and proceeded repeating herself at American Eagle and Hollister after that.

I am not sure how it came to be that we look to the fashion industry for support or that we continue to do so. I don’t see how dysmorphia could be sustained without a feedback loop from consumers. We are the consumers, we have the purchasing power so why aren’t we dictating what should be in our advertisements and in our media? What is it about our society that is feeding this?

What? Too much? Sophia Loren is one of the sexiest women to ever exist! You have just described what, to me, is the IDEAL feminine form. I think you’ll find a LOT of people (outside the fashion industry) agree with me.

And worst is: it’s not even my fault… I’m born with no thyroid gland and this causes me weight problems.
If I wouldn’t watch out so well what exactly I’m eating I’d be three times heavier… but I don’t want that… I just want to do best I can.
I know, I have a butt, I’ve got a waist, and I’ve got boobs… I have, what’s generally known as “hour glass figure”… proportionally good – just a little “too much”… Monroe, Sophia Loren… and Gina Lollobridgida had figures like mine…
I thank God that I have a wonderful partner who loves me the way I am! Even though most of the others “complain”… Should I care? No I shouldn’t. Do I care? Yes… because it does hurt… *sigh*

If you do not want the big butt, you need to jog or power walk (sweet the legs) on a regular bases. It is probably caused by a sedentary lifestyle. Stand more or walk around more while at work or rest in a reclined position.

She does not have one (she takes after her father who pretty much has no butt), but I was pleased to hear her say this. What’s important is that we (and our daughters) are healthy. It’s not about the scale (in fact I’ve thrown mine out). I’ve been passed (left in the dust, really) at 5&10k’s and triathlons by women who by many standards would be considered “fluffy” but who are obviously fit. Fit and Fluffy is in!

He just keeps getting fatter and fatter. Eating Kindles, notebooks, kids’ toys, receipts…on and one. He just doesn’t know when to quit.

Very good point. What the world thinks is sexy is getting to be a joke these days.
