This weight issue makes me sad and mad ! My cousin as a h.s. freshman nearly dieted herself to death with anorexia. The doctor told her that if she lost one more pound she would die. He would have to put her in a hospital where they could monitor her heart, kidneys, and liver and feed her through tubes if she didn't start to eat. Thankfully, she received proper medical help and was able to recover. Now she is well, but it was a long struggle. Now certainly there are several reasons for anorexia, but societal pressure is one.

Women and girls are drained of so much energy worrying about their weight and bodies and appearance. I'm too fat/thin, short/tall, etc. The energy that women and girls spend on their looks could be used to cultivate well rounded minds and build strong character.

So big or small, fat or thin, young or old, ladies accept yourselves and each other for who we are.
