What is it with the obsession of being size zero? We are faced with so called celebrities everyday, they squeeze themselves into ridiculous outfits and young women follow suit.
Take Jennifer Lopez for example, she is clearly not a naturally slim person yet she puts herself through grueling work-outs at the gym on a daily basis, she has children! Priorities clearly go out of the window with many women when they have children; weight gain, loss of confidence etc, the focus should be on the children and not on how much weight you have gained!
There are, of course people and celebrities who are naturally slim and get unfair treatment because they can eat pretty much what they want and not gain weight as an average woman might. Kate Moss immediately springs to mind, when pregnant with daughter Lila-Grace, she had a neat little bump and was back to her size 6 clothes in no time.
Accepting who you are, is the hardest thing in the world as no-one is ever content with their looks, body or their personality. Once these things are accepted, happiness is possible. It does not matter if your nose is too big, eyes too small, it is what inside that counts. The media adds fuel to fire with constant images of "perfect" bodies and the average woman cannot be that, they have families, full-time jobs. When they open the paper, they are bombarded with images.
No-one is perfect, there is no perfect body, there is no perfect face. Personality and being a good person is what counts, not depriving yourself to stay a size 6.
