I’ve been helping (mostly) women lose weight with hypnosis since 1987. Almost universally, the “weight” they carry in their minds, is far more devastating than the weight they carry on their bodies. And the media does very little to help that false image. Women believe their bodies should be _________ (whatever–taller, shorter, thinner, smaller butt, bigger boobs and on and on . . .). When we begin to respect our bodies, we will eat healthier, move more and begin to accept what is. As a result of the respect, often bodies change. Out of love, not hate.

Birdiee: I forget that it’s hard for thinner people to find things that fit too, sometimes – I think standardized sizing just screws us all over!

I like “real women look healthy” although, then you’ll get people saying “if you’re over xx lbs, or xx BMI, you’re not healthy so you’re ugly”, etc. When BMI is a totally outdated method of guessing healthy weight anyways…but I digress. I think women should just try to be happy + confident with what they have and WORK IT! Why would I waste time wishing I could be a size two, when realistically I probably never will, instead of appreciating my body as it is. Beauty comes in ALL shapes and sizes!

That’s the feeling I want to combat – I often feel bad for complaining I can’t find stuff that fits, but that problem is as real for us as it is ANYBODY else!

I always wonder if the opposite of “real women” is “imaginary women.”
