Unfortunately we are programed to believe that that skinny = beautiful and large (which statistically is average since the average size women is--I think--around a size 14) = ugly. Even with people like Starr Jones comentators always comment on her size, even though I think she would be pretty in any size. Do you remember how people made a big deal out of the fact that in Waiting to Exhale Loretta Devine's character (Gloria?) was the one that was happy and with a man at the end (not that those things automatically go together) and that she was the 'plus size' one out of the group? I just want to go back and be a Ruben model where they appreciated the big girls!!
