This is so true, why do we have to judge each other, is it because we are not happy with ourselves or do we have to because it is put in our heads by others that women have to be perfect all the time, we can not walk out of the house without having to look perfect because if we do people are going to be looking at us and making fun, If you weigh over 110 pounds you are over weigh why does it have to be this way, it is killing may women because they develop eating disorders because they have to be perfect and they have to make everyone happy, well i have figured this out so here goes this is for all of the women that read this, be happy with yourselves and everyone else does not matter the way i see it is that if you are happy with yourself nothing else matters. If person would think this way it would be a better world, This is my thoughts and i hope it makes since to all of the readers and i hope it helps out someone because i use to be anorexic and I had to change my thoughts because I almost killed myself because of what other people thought of me so please love yourself and be safe because the the ones that matter don't mind and the ones that mind don't matter, this is one of my favorite sayings and it has helped me and i know it will help someone else out there.

I think women struggle with this each and every day. If women, in general, would spend more time wondering how they can make the world a better place- we would all be sooo much better off! Look at our media; that sure doesn't help in regards to this topic. Having had to learn how to walk again at the age of 40 and wondering IF I ever would- this Mom has changed her tune to judging anyone! Not going there, as life is too short!

I completely agree with you Sara. It is very important for women to spend more time figuring out how they can make the world a better place to stay in. Great thought. Thanks!

I feel that we all on to hard onourselves about our weight, and i am a bad one I see alot of women and then I look at myself ,and wish that I could be has thin has others. I think we all can learn from each other and suport eachother when we feel that we are having a hard time with the way we look.

This is so true! I think women are harder on other women then they should be. Most men are not sitting around talking about how each other can l weight and critiqing each others body. Men dont sit around and talk about each other behind each others back and look at on another with discuss because they are different.
