The news today included a piece about Princess Beatrice and how certain parts of the media think that being 19 and size 10 is fat. You can read the BBC online take on it here.
OH MY GODDESS. If people are saying that a perfectly healthy young woman is overweight then how are any of us going to raise confident, beautiful daughters. I am pear shaped, not wholly happy with my butt and thighs, but generally body confident. It has taken me nearly 20 years to get to this point. I am already worried about how my daughter will see herself.
Media coverage like this just does not help.
