This tumblr page is like...my most favorite thing in the world! Real women come in different sizes! I appreciate curves--not the sickly-thin images the media force-feeds us on a daily basis. There was a time in my life when I wanted to be a size 0. But I'm black and such a thing is near impossible with my hip-to-waist ratio. So I literally starved myself to fit my skewed perception of beauty. At my lowest weight, I was less than 110 pounds. The doctor asked me if I had "an eating disorder" to which I replied (at 17yrs old) "No." Which in reality meant: "YES!"
Healthy is beautiful, ladies! :)
