For sons too. I am blessed to have the son that I do. My husband & I have raised him to be the fine man that he is today. None of us are perfect.

Susan, they are not real…they are self-starved, implanted, airbrushed icons of what women can never achieve. Perfection is unattainable. We must educate our daughters, let’s be examples of healthy eating, exercising, and positive thoughts about ourselves and others…
We are very blessed as women to be able to create life and nurture our children. When we focus on our body we should appreciate that, not focus on what isn’t perfect. Self-acceptance is the key to our daughters future self-perception.
Another beautiful post!!

So beautifully written. Must be saved for Tangerine to read. Thank you for sharing this. The mass media has consistently bombarded us with images of “the perfect body”. The fashion magazines are filled with models who do not even look real.
