God is the madwoman in the attic.
I'm camped out on the threshold with my journal, camera, and plenty of snacks.

butts, boobs, hips and a waist

"I've sat by in silence for a long time now about the way women's bodies are constantly scrutinized. To set the record straight, I'm not upset for me, but for all of the girls out there that are struggling with their body image.

A size 2 is not fat! Nor will it ever be. And being a size 0 doesn't make you beautiful.

What I should be doing is celebrating some of the best days of my life and my engagement to the man of my dreams, instead of having to deal with photographers taking invasive pictures from bad angles. I know what I look like, and so do my friends and family. And like all women out there should, I love my body.

To all girls with butts, boobs, hips and a waist, put on a bikini -- put it on and stay strong."


Jennifer Love Hewitt posted this on her blog in response to some unflattering photos and comments about her body that were issued while she was celebrating her engagement.
