Ladies, you are an inspiration for how ALL women should feel and respect themselves, regardless of size!

I am not really a big girl by normal standards at 5'9 and 135lbs. But I live in Los Angeles, where that is so often considered big. I wear a 6 and going to the Gap to only find 0s, 2s and 4s is a heartbreaking thing that throws me into self doubt. Not to mention the men that think all women should look like Calista Flockhart. Don't even get me started. I've got breasts, I will never be a size 2, and at my height, I'd look damn ridiculous if I were! That, I DO realize!

Reading what you've all said, makes me proud to be a woman with curves and makes me realize I do need to be kinder to myself.

Thank you so much ladies!
