Not Gonna Take It Anymore

I bought the January issue of the NATIONAL ENQUIRER. I bought it because it made me angry. All over the front cover were photos of celebrities, mostly women, most of them in bikinis, with some body fat and cellulite.

Inside, it shows women who have gained a little weight and calls them losers, when they are nothing more than women who have had some body changes. Don't we all age (if we are lucky)? Don't we have babies? A woman's body is never the same after childbirth.


I am glad to say that there is a shift starting to take hold. Carson Kressley's new show, How To Look Good Naked, is going to give countless numbers of women self-esteem. People who book runway-models are starting to say that many of them are too thin. I just read about a model agency called Ugly New York who has models who look like the rest of us.


A change is in the air. There is nothing attractive or sexy about skeleton-thin women and some people are starting to get it. IT'S TIME FOR WOMEN EVERYWHERE TO START SPEAKING UP AND SAYING, NO MORE!

Tell me 10 things you LIKE about your body.
