Since you're here, you get to listen to me bitch.
It came to my attention one day not long ago that a person I know and used to like thought I was fat. I'm 5'7" and weigh somewhere around 130, I'm not exactly supermodel material, but I'm not Moby Dick the Great White Whale either.
So here, just for your reading enjoyment, and so that you might gain a few more wrinkles in your brain, are a few factoids about that much coveted "where's my crutch?" look.

Did you know....

The average American woman weighs 144 lbs. and wears between a size 12 and 14.

If shop mannequins were real women, they'd be too thin to menstruate.

There are 3 billion women who don't look like supermodels and only 8 who do.

Marilyn Monroe wore a size 12.

If Barbie were a real woman, she'd have to walk on all fours due to her proportions.

One out of every 4 college aged women has an eating disorder.

The models in the magazines are airbrushed-THEY'RE NOT PERFECT!!

A psychological study in 1995 found that 3 minutes spent looking at models in a fashion magazine caused 70% of women to feel depressed, guilty, and shameful.

Models who twenty years ago weighed 8% less than the average woman, today weigh 23% less.
