'Real' Women?

'Real' women, then what the hell am I? I can't help that I'm a size 6 to 8. Don't hate me because I'm thin! All these programs promoting 'real' women do nothing for my confidence. They make me feel as though I should be ashamed of my figure and question my own lifestyle, even though my doctor has assured me my diet is fine and that I eat more than most.
I agree that unhealthy women should not be promoted, but surely the media shouldn't make those that are thin feel bad. Slim women have feelings too.
'Real' women are curvy? Thanks alot, just another issue to add to my long list, what happened to sisterhood? I would love to be like Marilyn Monroe, but I'm not, I'm me.
So next time you hate the 'skinny' girl, consider her feelings. If it hurts larger women to be called names, it hurts slim women to be called names too.
Thin does not equal an eating disorder. Also, shops cater for larger sizes, but not for smaller sizes, and I can't afford high fashion, so I have to shop around. It doesn't help that I feel as though I can't show my figure incase people think I have an eating disorder, so I wear ill-fitting clothes.
'Real' women come in all shapes and sizes, not just sizes 12 plus!
