[...] looking at what was done here, and I’m thinking back to my recent rant about the “new female ideal,” and you know what? I take it [...]

Hi Vered .. your figure is just great .. and who would have an hour glass figure – you’d have to work so hard to keep it up .. actually to me you’re way more attractive .. so go with the flow .. accept our bodies for what they are .. eat and exercise sensibly .. and our bodies should sustain us into old age!

Go well .. have a good week .. from a slightly overweight silvering haired not old Hilary!

Agreed. I have a very boyish shape – I’m not super thin, and I don’t have the “voluptuousness” that is the other end of the spectrum. I’m just… average. And I think that’s totally okay. Having an in-between body can be beautiful too! It’s a shame that society focuses so much on having one ideal version of beauty, when in reality beauty comes in so many forms that it is nearly impossible to define.

Living healthy is a great way to develop our own personal beauty.

It’s interesting how what’s been valued as beauty has shaped over time and how it’s varied by culture.

I will bless the day when people start paying as much attention to their inside as they do to their outside. If more adult women would accept themselves as they are and put the emphasis on being better people rather than having a “better” appearance, maybe there wouldn’t be so many young girls having painful years of unhealthy focus on superficial things not easily changed.

I have way too much on top and a short torso. Each time I look for new clothes I’m traumatized. I need someone who sews clothes just to fit me so I can get on with my life. Consequently when I find something that fits I take four of them. Then I just look the same everyday;) Men objectify women…that’s where it all came from. Augh

I think that beautiful women come in all shapes and sizes. There’s a woman on Squidoo who is always featuring plus-sized models on her lenses, and each one is more beautiful than the next. Then again, I’ve always thought that thin, toned bodies are attractive. The important thing is what you do with what you have.
