I loved this piece. Thank you so much for writing it. I've always been fairly average in size and appearance but until very recently not confident in any of it. Sad that it took me over six decades to love myself as much as I should have all along. I've always been just fine however I was. And I've witnessed much of what you describe with friends and family; those who are obese and those "too skinny". I wish your article would be read and understood by those who perpetuate some of the damage we do to others with our views on physical appearance.
