		<description><![CDATA[Newlywed, it&#039;s funny that you have a hard time finding size 12 or 14 because I have a hard time finding size 0 or XS .   I have to buy designer clothes to get stuff in my size all the time.  Even at target, their xs sized shirts are more like a medium everywhere else.  

In my opinion, American sizes all run larger than their tags.  Everyone knows that size 14 is more of an average size (I would refrain from using the word &quot;normal&quot;) than a size 6.  That&#039;s unfortunate though.  I&#039;m sorry, but there&#039;s no reason other than lack of exercise and poor nutrition for an average size for women to be 5&#039;4&quot; and 150lbs (unless she is very muscular).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hello to all hope you are feeling well.
I’m a photographer, studied at SJSU and can do some fabulous things with Photoshop.
I can from experience tell you that we do alter the final product. The models that in the  16 to 18 age ratio don’t even look like the final product. We fix any skin imperfections; we alter body parts, and even substitute body parts on a regular basis. 

My current girlfriend is dealing with some low body image issues. To me she is gorgeous super sexy. Let me not forget to mention she is 10 years my Jr. Her stomach is flat she has the sexiest athletic legs, and of course I used her as a model on my website; she is gorgeous. Like I said all work is Photoshoped and so is she on my site however her body was not touched. I find it attractive so why bother. 

Whenever I touch her belly she cringes and gives me this fake smile, immediately moving my hand away. She feels she has a pudg, which is the skin as she curves her body. I love to touch it, its so soft and my had fits perfectly on it. It is such a turn on to see her after she has showered. I look forward every day and anticipate setting my eyes on her’ like I said she is hot. I am a very lucky man.

I often express my sincere attraction towards her. However every time I do she blows up and starts  putting  her self down. She points out all the flaws she sees and honestly I don’t see it; it just turns me on to look at her. So to all women who are here, who might feel similar ( men are attracted to women, not hard little boy looking tings) we want what we don’t have curves, a soft feel it makes you feminine. Aren’t women attracted to striated muscle definition and hard things?  Next time your with your man show more fight the fear remember he chose you over the rest.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m in love with a wonderful guy, and I&#039;ve come a long way in getting over a negative body image.  A lucky accident did it: I found out that for years he looked at pornography of women who were my weight or heavier.  Rather than being shocked or hurt, I somehow readjusted my personal standard of beauty until I found those women beautiful -- actually truly beautiful -- and myself along with them.  Now I perceive the scarecrow models as gaunt and maybe a little bit scary.  I find I carry myself with more pride and spring in my step -- setting a good example for my daughters&#039; developing body images.]]></description>
