Very well said and true, LR.

I don't think what I said was anything new; there have been millions of articles and studies about women's self-image and advertising. Do I wish I were 6'3" and 120 lbs? Probably. Do I think that's a healthy goal? No. (Besides the fact I think my growth spurt is long over) :p

But, I did say millions of women, so that does not necessarily include me. I think I'm beautiful. There are women who starve themselves to try to look like those models, because that is perceived to be the ideal among young women.

I'll try to eat more Special K.
