Considering this is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I though this would be a good post.
There's no part of our bodies that we obsess about more than our breasts. Even those of us not prone to health anxiety wonder which, if any, of our everyday habits are upping our odds of getting breast cancer.

Alright...I admit that at one time I rivaled Emelda when it came to shoes. The big difference between her and I was that I never paid full price for any of my shoes and I actually wear them all.
I have been known to be one of those women that buy a pair of shoes AND THEN create the perfect outfit to go with them.

Two years ago, at 31, Kate Winslet became the youngest actress ever to earn five Oscar nominations. This go-round, either of her two new movies—Revolutionary Road, which re-unites her with Leonardo DiCaprio, or The Reader—could put a statue in her hands. Winslet talks about having been a fat girl, getting checked out by the moms at her kids’ school, and going one-on-one with DiCaprio for her husband, director Sam Mendes.

Gwen Stefani has talked many times about her weight, and how she really has to work at keeping thin. Which is my favorite celebrity statement to read. Nothing makes me more furious than reading that a celeb lost the baby weight running around after their new child, because I’ve discovered something – babies can’t move!

I'm seventeen, and have started seeing someone recently. I want to go on the pill but I've had body 'issues' from such a young age that I'm terrified I'll start the course and find myself putting on weight.
Does the pill (mine is microgynon) actually cause weight gain, or is that just a myth that women accredit unexpected weight fluctuations to?

My story is not an uncommon one.
I grew up as the obese, ugly girl constantly teased by both my family and my schoolmates to the point of uncontrollable tears. With a skinny Chinese family and an anorexic Jewish mother, life was not easy on my self-esteem.

I didnt always have the best body image. I was in college, and not only gained the freshman 15, but the freshman 60 pretty much! I think the late night drive throughs after the keg parties with my girlfriends took a major toll on my body and self image.

I don't think she has, and Im not her biggest fan, but I like her well enough and I was a fan as a kid when she was on kids incorporated. I've noticed that soshe looks different in alot of her pics so I came across these pics and noticed that she looks the same as a young teen 14 or 15 as she does now at 32( other than she has aged about 20 years, had fluctuation of weight and overcome a drug addiction, and years of sun tanning), so now I think she's simply not photogenic( and Im not either so I can relate). Here are some rare pics of her as a young teen.All of you other fergie fans can weigh in on what you think, and also add your own thoughts or comparisons if you like.
