Did you know that Marilyn Monroe was a size 14? Most gorgeous models were at that time. Girl, big is beautiful! Skinny is for wimps. I'm a size 18 and my fiancee LOVES my body.No, a size 18 isn't FAT. You're normal. If you feel uncomfortable, then you can decide if you want to do something about it. Talk to your doctor. My doctor doesn't think I need to lose weight. I'm healthy... I'm just a big, beautiful woman! I eat lots of fruits & veggies, stay away from colas, have meat only ocassionally and don't cook with oil often (when I do, it's extra-virgin olive oil).It's NOT about being skinny. It's about being healthy. If you can be a size 18 and healthy... then you're ok.
