Taking Back The Power Over Our Bodies and Psyche - There are headlines everywhere loudly proclaiming that “curves are back.” They never left us! We, girls with round womanly bodies, have been here all along; some of us reveling in our womanliness, while some of us are trying to starve ourselves to fit into somebody else's idea of the perfect woman.
For far too long, the media has had immense power over the way we think about ourselves and our bodies. Alas, the rest of the world is beginning to catch on that the average, real woman comes with a size 14 and fuller body and that real beauty isn't one-size fits all. It's about time someone challenges the ideal body image myth, trounces the old stereotypes, redefines the concept of beauty and promotes that beauty comes in all colors, size and shapes and allow real women to celebrate.
