I just wanted to point out that bodies, like fashion, go in and out of style. 100 years ago, bigger was WAY better. 50 years ago, women wanted to look just like Marilyn (who, for the record, was a size 12). Nowadays, models are considered full-figured if they wear larger than a size 6. To all women out there, skinny, curvy or otherwise: you're beautiful. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Embrace the you that you are TODAY and realize that nobody has the right to tell you how you SHOULD look. You're meant to look the way you look at your best, brightest and healthiest. Nothing else matters.

Even though she is the epitome of waifish, the beautiful, classic and timeless Audrey Hepburn summed up what really matters quite eloquently:

“For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.”
