Too eat, or not to eat?

Weight has been a talked about issue for as long as i can remember. Everyone is either too fat or too thin and no one is ever happy about how they look. I'm completely sick of it. I hate that everyone is judging one another based on physical appearance. I hate even more that millions of people are hurting themselves just to lose weight and look like girls in magazines and on the runway. Don't they see that those girls are struggling just as much as everyone else is? Most of the time pictures in magazines are retouched anyways, so everyone is trying to obtain a body image that does not even exist. I hate that everyone believes this false image of beautiful. I am guilty of looking in magazines and saying "i wish i look like her". But i'm scared that these girls in magazines that are seemingly flawless are causing us to not only harshly judge ourselves, but others as well.

Take Gemma Ward (above and left) for example. She is adorable. The fact that everyone decided that Gemma was now ugly because she gained weight is completely ridiculous. Thank God she gained weight, i thought she would break in half in she bent over too quickly. I know that her thin body was "ideal" for the fashion industry, but how can anyone possibly say that her beauty is gone and that she's done in the fashion industry? It's heartbreaking to think that becoming a real person would ruin her career. I would love to see more women that can serve as positive role models in the fashion industry. I mean, can you imagine seeing REAL women in the magazine spreads? Finally we could see how clothing would really look if we were to purchase it instead of thinking we had to weigh 100 pounds just to look nice in a dress. Honestly, there are more body types than a negative A cup and a boney butt. I'm tired of looking at knobby knees. I wonder if anyone else is?

Another girl that i love to death is Crystal Renn (right). Whoever does not think she is stunningly gorgeous is either blind or under the influence of some foreign substance. What woman would not want to look like her? I'm so thankful there's a model who doesn't look like she is in desperate need of a sandwich. Yes, i think thin models are beautiful. There are so many gorgeous models out there. But i honestly think that when a girl can be full-sized and happy with herself, that is more interesting.

Truthfully, i do not know how to design for full-sized women. But i want to learn. Full figured women will break their way in to the fashion industry. And i will be congradulating them the entire way.
