There are, perhaps, only a handful of women who'd honestly and confidently say, 'I'm the right size and I'm happy with my body.'
The rest of us fair, lesser mortals are doomed to whining about our over-sized (or undersized) busts, bellies and behinds (However my pet peeve are my 'biceps'. They fall under the over-sized category. In your face, Yokozuna).
My own life is really a chart from Chubby to Overweight to Obese to Plump and back to Annoyingly Overweight. There has never been a Just Right.
W vs W is a timeless battle and I personally don't have any girl friends who have won the 'war'. I guess you can blame it on the fashion industry who decides what is the next size 0 (If I got it right, it's currently 32-24-32) or maybe even that big group of male jerks (oops, did I just anger my male friends? You're not part of them, sweeties!). But in the end, it all boils down to your own self-esteem.
I admire those handful of women who don't really care how their bodies look. They haven't let themselves 'go'. In fact, they are the only ones who truly appreciate themselves and know what's really important in life.
I'm striving to be like that. To be Healthy and forget about Weight. Obviously it's very difficult. But definitely achieveable.

Lol! I can SO empathise! Not with weight issues but with never being happy with what's in there ;)
I can't watch calories though. I eat like a pig. :D Thank god for metabolism :D
I hope you understand, Macadamia, that I automatically hate you for being able to eat anything you want. :D
The moment I look at food, I gain a kilo or so. :)
good one! :)
Hope you do achieve it! Can't imagine a slim Molsi though. :D
Loved that last sentence in your comment ("The moment I look at food, I gain a kilo or so")! Really got me laughing :)
Lo there! Just got introduced to your blog today, courtesy of Kartik. Quite a few words of praise flowing down from there, so I must say my expectations are quite high! Will surely watch this space for more! :)
I dunno why but nobody can imagine a Slim(mer) Me.
And Nikhil, aaarrggh, you just dropped a bucket-load of pressure on me. ;) But yeah, do keep reading.
