I can tell you the one reason most of you are here. No matter what you may think, this is true. You are here because the fashion or style excepted right now is to be waft like and the "I'll blow in the wind because I'm so skinny" look. It's not good, and all your trying to do is fulfill an unrealistic goal set by the media which every girl (and most guys) think is the only way to happiness. WRONG!!!! Styles change. I don't want to lecture you, but this a brief history of what was considered for women the "perfect" body. In the paintings you see in the Renisance, you can see women who have a full figure, but are not really fat. By today's standards they would be considered obese with about a 36 inch waist. Then, later in history, women who were "large and round with plump bodies" were considered healthy and mostly wanted. These women weighed on the average of 200-250 pounds and considered...

Then, later in history, women who were "large and round with plump bodies" were considered healthy and mostly wanted. These women weighed on the average of 200-250 pounds and considered perfect. Then came the dreaded age of the corset. Women strove for a hourglass figure, and hurt themselves in the process. They would lace the corsets so tight, it would squeeze internal organs, break ribs, and cause women to faint, all in vain for "the perfect" body, and the "perfect" waist of about 18 inches.Then, in the early 1900's women started taking on more of a boyish look with the exceptance of women wearing trousers. The 1950's "perfect" body was like that of Marilyn Monroe, who wore a size 14 and almost everyone considered the perfect and most beautiful woman of her time, and we still do. Then the 1960's and 70's came around and also the popularity of the model know as "Twiggy" who was the first truely Skinny model of her time, and models have, shall I say, been modeled after her ever since. Now the perfect size is a 1 or 2, which few obtain, and never keep. So, don't try to lose weight because you want to fit in with style, because the truth is, styles change, but you will have to live with you for a life time. Don't strive for goals that are only obtained through hurting yourself, it's not worth it. You can only be happy with you. P.S. Don't feel bad because models are prettier than you, they are chosen because they are abnormal, not because they represent almost 95%of the population which will never get below a size 5 and stay there. Also, you are not alone because the average size of a woman today is a size 16. The only way to happiness is to be healthy mind, body, and soul.Good luck!! (view less)

I know a great way to loose those extra pounds. First set a goal, you may have read this alot but this is VERY important. Second, you stop eating greasy foods and pop. Instead try carrots and light dip. One of the most important steps is exercise. You CANNOT loose wait by just dieting. Try 10 situps 3 times a day to start then start doing more gradually, so you don't strain yourself. Go for a 30 minute walk a day, if you have a dog then you could take him/her along. For those of you who just cannot stop craving food (like me) I have some great tips, try strong toothpaste. None of that kiddy stuff. I use arm and hammer. Strong mouthwash help aslo. Gum works for some but not all people, so stick with mouthwash. Whenever you think 'What's the point of this? Its going to take forever and I don't think it will work' just take a look at yourself and think of being skinnier. NEVER NEVER !!NEVER!! starve yourself! Good Luck and remember, you are doing this for yourself ONLY for yourself!
