ADPiEE- I'm right there with you sister! When you have society telling women that they must be a size 2-4 to be considered beautiful, how do I compete with that when I'm overweight. I hate the way I look which I know corresponds to my unhappiness of being single. All I see on TV and in magazine are super skinny women. Even if I wouldn't consider them at all attractive, they are in the eyes of men and society because they are skinny.
There is so much pressure on women to look younger than they are. There is so much pressure on women to be smaller than the average size 12. We can't compete.
DrPhil-I would LOVE to see a commercial with an average women and a hot guy, but as if that is going to happen.
