Re: Re: Re: Re: Kelly weighs in...

I'm a size 8/10 now but I use to be size 16 about 4 years ago so I know the struggles of being overweight and not finding clothes in your size (in my experiences larger sizes go quicker than smaller ones because the average American woman is a size 12).

I don't let other people define me and comparing myself to models (and IMHO, most fashion models are too skinny and are ugly) is ridiculous. First of all, when you see a photo in a magazine, it has been touched up. So even the models aren't perfect. They will touch up a photo to remove moles, make a leg look slender, make a model look curvier, etc.

My goal is to be healthy. That's why I exercise 3 to 5 times a week, watch what I eat and lift weights. As someone said, you can be skinny and unhealthy and then take someone who is size 12 who is in excellent health because they exercise.
