Boy, this is funny as i just went shopping, for bathing suits no less!!!!  I haven't been on line for a few days, I will post an update post in a minute.
On the subject of bodies though....In high school, I was 5feet 8 inches and barely 100 pounds and boy, I thought I was FAT!!
I am now 36, have been every size for 2-20, my hair has been every color imaginable and my make-up styles have been all over the map as well.
I have found that no matter how fat or skinny I am at the moment, its all about how you present yourself. If, as Casey says, you walk tall and proud, people will think you are beautiful no matter what. I get hit on more now that I am chubby because I have learned this. It took a very long time and a lot of tears but I have finally learned this.
My profile picture is deceiving. Its 3 years old for one thing! I am now a size 14-18 depending. I have an unfortunate body shape. I have a bubble but, which I actually don't mind but than I don't have much of a waist and no boobs. So, when I go to the PLUS stores, the pants usually fit fine but all the tops are too big. If I go to the fashion stores like Express, the tops are too small and forget the pants!!! Not sure what a fat girl with no boobs is supposed to wear!!
We are taking a trip in a few weeks and I needed some resort dresses and bathing suits, not very fun things to shop for at my size!!! I finally, after HOURS, said screw it, I am a BIG girl and so what??!! I got a halter style dress that shows my curves, flabby arms and all but my but looks fabulous in! I got two tankinis (SP??) as well and I am just going to have fun anyway!
I may not be the best looking girl on the beach but I am going to have the most fun and I don't care what anyone else things. If I want to frolic in the waves like a kid, I am going to! If I want to go out for the night in a fun dress, I am going to!
I think a lot of people would be a lot happier if they could learn to accept themselves. Its a hard lesson learned but one worth learning!
