This is my body,
This is my skin,
Healthy is beautiful;
I don't have to be thin.
This is my splendor,
This is my hour,
Let me share this with you;
Let me pass on this power.

There's nothing wrong with being a size 4. There's also nothing wrong with being a size 12. The important thing is to be happy and healthy--take care of your body. Nourish it and indulge once in a while.
