Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Noone can define ugly or beautiful because we are all different, see people differently and we all see different things in different people. Beauty comes from the inside. I wish more people would think like this instead of the shallow ones judging by 'magazine' pictures etc. confidence, kindness, compassion, care for others is more important than looks imho. Please don't give yourself such a hard time, if people judge you by weight that is their problem not yours. i am a largish person who has been slim in the past and i'm short too, people are so shallow sometimes. Don't you worry about what others think. Be you and be proud. Truth be known not many people are size 0 anyhow ..... i'm not being nasty to naturally thin people by the way .... or people with eating disorders, please don't think that.

My mother used to call me fat all the time and i wasn't. When i put weight on after my children she stopped introducing me to friends etc and even called me fat in front of other people .... i just pity her now .... so shallow.

hugs and care to you my friend, Jinnyann xoxoxoxoxo
