Wow, I could not agree with this more. Before I had my son I was 5'2" and 110 pounds and since I had him I am 125 pounds. At first I was a little self concious about myself because my hips are bigger, my boobs are bigger and I look really different. But my husband and all our guy friends all say that I look sexier and healthier. I think it's good to have curves and not look stick thin and that is why I am not in the gym like a maniac trying to get rid of the extra weight.
And it really is amazing to see what trainers say or the Army wants your weight to be at and what your doctor says is unhealthy. I am in the Army National Guard and for a 21 year old female at 5'2" the weight they want you to be at the most 118. My doctor said that to be healthy, you can weight up to 135. 118 to 135 is a big difference.
And it's nice to see what they really do to those pictures. It is really sad to know that a super skinny model still isn't even skinny enough. That is why girls who 20 years ago wouldn't be considered fat feel awful and are made fun of because they are "fat".
