By age 17, 78% of American girls are unhappy with their bodies.
The average American woman is 5’4” tall and weighs 140 pounds. The average American model is 5’11” tall and weighs 117 pounds.
One out of every four college aged women has an eating disorder.
Love starts with you! Consciously look in the mirror every day and cherish the person staring back at you. Life is too short to obsess over pounds and inches. Get off the scale, but maintain healthy habits. Learn to see your beauty. Love your body!
I was a chronic pelvic pain patient who wrote about my health struggles for 7 years. After successful treatment and returning to school, I am about to become a women's health physical therapist. Some estimate 5% of women as well as millions of men will experience pelvic pain in their lifetime, yet they are under-researched, misdiagnosed, and misunderstood. In the midst of rapidly evolving medical discoveries and technology, priority needs to be given to pelvic pain.

of their freedom.
How do they learn it?
They fall, and falling,
they are given wings."

it's funny, because I wear a 6 (sometimes an 8) and look sort of like the girl who wears a 16.
the girl who wears an 8 looks like a 2.
the girl who wears a 12 looks somewhere in between, like maybe what I would look like if I gained 10 pounds.
So strange how different our bodies are.
So sad how we can't love those differences
My focus has been between my belly button and knees for so long that sometimes it's hard to remember that there is a "rest of me"
Those are uk sizes (it was a uk poll), so the average is like the equivalent of a us 12 etc.
