In the midst of a slow economic recovery, political achievements around the world, and Lady Gaga, it seems as if we are going through many significant changes within the last five years. It would be wonderful to say the same about big girls or full figured women in the media, but we're still lagging in that category. It is important to learn to accept everyone, even if we don't agree with how they look or dress or act. As individuals we are allowed to be unique and allowed to be content with our size, whether we're a size 2 or a size 16. Every women should be allowed to go into a store and find their size on a rack.

I decided to research a topic that was both controversial and common in American society. One of the most difficult issued a women faces in her lifetime is not learning to accept herself even with her flaws. This is in part due to the many images we see in the media on a consistent basis. These images portray an 'ideal' woman that does not exist and so women develop a notion that they will never fit the mold and end up hating themselves for that. On my website, I want to pay tribute to the many women in the media who are proud of their full figures. You can find interesting articles and videos, as well as testimonials of everyday women who say their perfectly content with being a size 10.
