This is a bit interesting.. thought everyone needed a boost and motivation to RECOVER! We can all really conquer this I know it!
Well..Here's a little reality check when it comes to body image. It just might make you feel a whole lot better about the skin you're in.
A Little Food For Thought:
Did you know that if female mannequins were real women they'd be too thin to have babies?
There are 3 billion women who don't look like supermodels and only eight who do.
Marilyn Monroe wore a size 14, and she is still considered beautiful.
If Barbie was a real woman, she'd have to walk on all fours due to her proportions.
The average woman wears between a size 12-14.
The models in the magazines are airbrushed - no one, not even models, look that good without some help!
And here are some facts that are kinda scary...
One out of every four college-aged women has an eating disorder.
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.
Twenty years ago, models weighed 8% less than the average woman. Today they weigh 23% less.
Well there you go... Good Luck everyone!

Now there's one to print out and paste to my eyes!
Thank you!
