I'm 5 foot 3 and 1/3, (trust me the 1/3 is very important.) When I was in school, about 17, I was a UK size 6 (US size 2) and probably smaller and I was miserable. I hated my body, hated looking bony, having no breasts, looking like a child. I was demeaned, made to feel inferior and bullied. Don't get me wrong, I didn't have any food disorders, I was actually quite a healthy eater but and I'm getting to get my point.
I don't get why some women want to be skinny or the obsession with being this (UK4 US 0) size. I really don't.
Amanda has always been a role model for me. Back in the first few seasons she always looked healthy, fit, strong but not skinny or like someone who had dieted to size whatever. I think she's looking better than ever now. She is a normal women who has developed like a women does and I applaud her for giving all of us, especially those who needed it, someone who they could, for lack of a better phrase, respect and look up to.
I'm now a much more healthy UK size 10(US 6) and I couldn't give a damn how much I weigh as long as I'm happy, which is most of the time.
So now back to the TV, I'm about to watch Dominion. God I can't believe it's ending.
