Totally agree about women and body image. Most of us don't like our bodies. I have to admit that I STILL don't like mine. It's short and doesn't carry weight well & it is the most overweight it has ever been at the moment but I am taking steps to try and rectify that. I hope that once I do get my weight back to an acceptable level that I can accept and love my body. ;-) xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-16727258634168418802015-01-19T15:23:04.861-08:002015-01-19T15:23:04.861-08:00I've not heard of this show but I love the quo...I've not heard of this show but I love the quote - what a great one it is !
