There's a middle ground between those two poles. It's where we acknowledge that we're not perfect, but that we can influence our own opinion, and that of others, towards perfection (without surgery, or hypnosis).
As for whether or not size matters, I'm on the opposite end of the scale (sorry, couldn't resist). I'm skinnier than most, to the point where I used to be teased about being anorexic (doesn't take much to amuse kids), and where many people now assume I'm vegetarian (because all vegetarians are skinny, of course
).
It took me quite a while to stop thinking people weren't attracted to me because I'm skinny. I'm still working on that, but ultimately my health is most important, and it doesn't require eating heaps and pumping iron for hours every night, which is what putting on weight
does require. I have no desire to do that for myself, and I'm sorry girls, but I'm not doing it for you either.
So Aurora, do what you need to do to be happy
and healthy, and screw the rest. If that means being big, that's fine, as long as you're healthy.
