Cherrie's Body Dilemmas - BBC Three

I don't know if anyone else has beeen watching this small series, but i love the presenter of this show, i think she's so funny, but Cherrie basically goes around the UK and talks about issues that seem to affect us all and how it can vary depending on the area and the person, she has done a few episodes, one was on motherhood and the most recent which i was interested in was the body dilemmas episode.
Amazingly the program didn't talk much at all about anorexia or eating disorders, although it did mention that women these days do seem to have much more of a calorie obsession that they used to, i found this program incredibly uplifting because she met up with girls who want to be bigger and are much happier that wa because they are accepting themselves, there was this gorgeous, funny girl who created this fashion blog for bigger girls and saidthe most incredible thing ever....

'This is my body, not theirs.' - Makes complete sense dosent it?! It is so stupidly clear to me now, i can't envy models because my body is not their body, all you need is to be happy with your own body and trust me, to be happy the best thing to do is make sure your healthy, being underweight and mal-nourished does not equal happiness!!

Here is a link to a general summary of the show, i think you can still watch it on BBC iPlayer because it was on recently, but depending on when you read this post that ay not be the case anymore lol!
