the full body project



I think it is absolutely fantastic that these women, and others in the "fat liberation" movement are speaking up about the absurdity of body image in today's society. America has become obsessed with being thin and it has gotten to the point where women who are a size 2 are now being ridiculed about their bodies. A perfect example is the actress Jennifer Love Hewitt. Unflattering pictures were posted of the actress while vacationing with her fiance. The pictures show her frolicking in the water in a black bikini and days later headlines read, "Jennifer Love Chew-it." This is absurd. She retaliated on her blog stating "a size 2 is not fat." Anyway, kudos to the women of the "fat liberation." Way to be proud of your bodies. If you want to read the full article click on the article above.
