Marilyn Monroe was 5'5" and weighed at her heaviest 140 in the movie "lets make love" (which i just finished watching and she looked far from fat). If alive today she would have worn a size 8 to 12. This is the woman that is synonymous with sex and beauty.
I wear a size 12 and have fought my weight my entire life. I went to the doctor a month ago and got on the scale....171!!!!! Needless to say my donut/frozen yogurt diet ceased immediately. I am about 5'6" and cant tell you the last time i was below 150 (i think i was married to my first husband over a decade ago).
I still struggle with body dis morphia, but have learned to be less codependent on what size jeans i fit into and more focused on wearing clothes that make me feel good (no matter what size i happen to be that day). I can remember sitting on the floor and crying because i thought i was so fat in high school (eye roll). I wished i would have learned to love my body instead of spending all of those years hating it. Waiting to start my life until i was able to be a size 8 again. Spending days depressed and not going anywhere because i couldn't fit into my jeans.
I decided to stop hating my body and start loving what god gave me.
