    For all you that are complaining about your looks...

    Facts on Figures : There are 3 billion women who don't look like super models and only eight who do.

    Marilyn Monroe wore a size 14.

    If Barbie was a real woman, she'd have to walk on all fours due to her proportions.

    The average woman weighs 144 lb. and wears between a 12-14.

    One out of every four college aged women has an eating disorder.

    The models in the magazines are airbrushed -- not perfect!

    A psychological study in 1995 found that three minutes spent looking at a fashion magazine caused 70% of women to feel depressed, guilty, and shameful.

    Models twenty years ago weighed 8% less than the average woman.
    Today they weigh 23% less.

    ~Beauty of a Woman~
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
    The figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
    The beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes,
    Because that is the doorway to her heart,
    The place where love reside!
    The beauty of a woman Is not in a facial mole,
    But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
    It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
    The passion that she shows.
    The beauty of a woman
    With passing years -- only grows.





    The Images of Mother
    4 YEARS OF AGE ~ My Mommy can do anything!
    8 YEARS OF AGE ~ My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!
    12 YEARS OF AGE ~ My Mother doesn't really know quite everything.
    14 YEARS OF A! GE ~ Naturally, Mother doesn't know that, either.
    16 YEARS OF AGE ~ Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned.
    18 YEARS OF AGE ~ That old woman? She's way out of date!
    25 YEARS OF AGE ~ Well, she might know a little bit about it.
    35 YEARS OF AGE ~ Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion.
    45 YEARS OF AGE ~ Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?
    65 YEARS OF AGE ~ Wish I could talk it over with Mom.

    Hehe, I'm gonna quote my own self. I just love that one! I have this mental image of all those pretty skinny blonds in hollywood crawling around on all fours when the cameras are off.


    Thank you Wolfie!

    Thanks Tonya. I think it's awful the way everybody here thinks they are so ugly. No wonder the costmetic industry is doing such a bang up business!

    I don't know why everyone thinks they are ugly. I really honestly don't know an ugly looking person. Some people I know are pretty ugly inside, but that's a different story.

    So all of you out there - GET OVER IT! YOU ARE SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE I KNOW - AND DON'T YOU EVER FORGET IT!!!!

    There, glad I got that out of my system.

    I have seen that or some of that before, but it is always really nice to see it again. So many women, including myself, have insecurities about their looks or things they wish they could change, and sadly that is promoted from a very young age by Hollywood and toys like Barbie. It couldn't have hurt to make Barbie have realistic proportions

    I'm above average...I'm 170 lbs right now. lol. Still a size 12 though (not for much longer...), so I guess I'm half way in between. Wanna know my shoe size too? haha.


    Thank you Wolfie!

    Nice thread and very encouraging



    but.....



    I'm still not posting my pic
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
