I enjoyed reading your comment. My only issue with what you are saying is I see so many people who start out as kids with the same body shapes as their parent/s, sometimes before a bad diet or breeding can make them that way. I really believe much of our body shape is genetically given to us, the good, the bad, and the ugly!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1128','Kathy Curry'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> I Soul Searcher.

Its a Catch 22. I read someone that it is just instinctually for us to seek out the healthiest of the species. We don't see anything wrong when another species (i.e dog, horse) is judged and assigned a value for its outer appearance as we assume it is due to diet and breeding. As silly as it may sound, inproportianate body parts are my signal a lack of optimal health. I don't know but I don't think anyone should feel guilty for liking what they like. And I am saying this as size 16 woman.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1125','Soul Searcher'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> I don’t know what to feel about this.

The real beauty of a person is inside the heart but not in the body. I feel like that.

You better believe it. But that is why we have to do things to reflect on how we act and feel. I hope to do that and change myself from the inside out. As much as I may be guilty, I'm tired of getting this thing shoved down my throat. At work, in the mall and on TV it is all about what someone else thinks beauty should be. If I go to a place to eat and my waitress is helping me she cannot be a bad waitress simply because someone thinks she is pretty. I'm going to pump my brakes on this one.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1055','Tom Sawyer'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> Am I guilty of some of what has been said?

Why? Because you raise some good points about the shallow American ideal of beauty. My wife has a body image problem as she's packed on a few pounds since giving birth to two children. She's still as beautiful to me as the day I married her, however, as I fell in love with her as a person, see? Hey, she might not look deadly in a mini skirt anymore, but she's a hell of a good mother and the best friend I've ever had. That, to me, is true beauty.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1052','Ethan Nobles'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> And, you’re Dugg! Why?

It's true that Americans can be very shallow. More times than not, we place such importance on how one looks. And I'll admit, when I was in my 20s and early in my 30s, looks meant everything to me. But as I continued to get older, I realized it's not about what others think of you. Who cares what others think simply because everyone will always have an opinion. So, one of my favorite sayings comes from Russell Simmons -- you gotta continue 'Doing You.' Now before someone jumps to the wrong conclusion, being healthy is definitely important, but a person should be/get healthy because it's beneficial, not because that person wants to please/fit into society.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1051','Kim Sawyer'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> Kathy, I like this post.
