It is an accurate portrayal of the majority of the population, and we like seeing that it's ok to not look perfect, but be happy with it! She is still gorgeous and that's very refreshing to see. I just hope Glamour understands this is what readers want to see, and that they'll continue to give us more of that, and not go back to putting a stick thin model on the cover for the next 6 issues like they tend to do right after showing someone 'curvy'.

One day while avoiding work I started reading your blog, and I wanted to tell you how great I think it is! It's funny and you give really good, practical advice. And I love this model! When I saw her picture I was just like, "Hey, her stomach looks like my stomach when I sit down... and I think we both look pretty good..." Keep up the great work! Hey, Rachel.

And thank you Bonnie for sharing it. Eating disorders are so much harsher than you can grasp from seeing a Lifetime movie about them. They are grisly and devastating and our culture is absolutely partially to blame, as much as the powers that be choose to deny it.

I worry about young women growing up under the pressure to be stick thin. I have firsthand evidence that those messages can be lethal. Thanks to Rachel for dealing honestly, openly and sensibly with the issue of women's weight - what's healthy, what's attractive and what's toxic.
