Beauty is in the eye's of.... The public?

But, should it be?
I am sick and tired of hearing size two girls complain about their size.
It seems society is trying their absolute hardest to make girls believe that being bigger than a double zero puts you in the fat category.
That moment when you think to yourself "If i was skinnier" or "If i looked like her, then he would actually want to date me", it's a hard moment to cope with, and the only solution that seems to be available at that time is a vat of Ben and Jerry's ice cream, a lot of tears, and some romantic movie that lets you know for sure that you will in fact become the lady that considers her cats as children.
You've probably read that and your reaction was "Oh no, no mam, not me"
Well then, you're what i like to call lying to yourself.
Being a girl, you have moments of self doubt.
Maybe you don't, maybe this is all just me.
But I'm willing to bet; it's not.
Did you know Marilyn Monroe was near a size ten?
One of the greatest sex icons of all times bigger than a size zero?
Hard to believe right?
But yes, their was a time where being as skinny as a child was actually not the norm.
Where did all that thinking go?
Having curves should be a thing to be celebrated, not ashamed of.
Eating healthy is right, not starving yourself.
I think people need to focus on more what's inside of people that what the outside appears to be.
I am the average weight for my height, i work out but still have cellulite, I'm normal.
But somehow, i still feel like an oddity, I want to be able to change my thoughts from "You need to lose 60 pounds and then someone will love you" to "You are beautiful, and you don't need to care what others may think."
I really hope that one day girls just like me can accept their bodies, and actually learn to love them.
