Friends, I am all for you getting healthy. Do you know heart disease is the number one killer of women, three times more than breast cancer. So do it for your health is all I am saying. I just hate when every where you look there are women that you know only eat lettuce and society says that is beautiful. When I was growing up I do not even think they had a size 0! Marilyn Monroe was a size 14 and she did pretty good for herself. So just do it for the right reason not because you do not think you are beautiful or because society says we should be sticks, we are women and we are made to have curves - that is part of our beauty. Eating right, exercise, don't smoke or drink in excess and you will be okay and love your self.
