Some of the quotes were really helpful!

But some were kinda sad.. the ones where a person thinks they won't be loved if they're fat. That's not true! I have a BMI of slightly below 30 (yes I know!) but my boyfriend loves me for who I am. I want to lose weight not for love, but for health reasons.

Never think that you don't deserve to be loved if you're not thin. That's wrong.

I love those quotes !

Except the one on French women!
I'm French and i can assure you that things have changed out there and in spite of the cultural differences with the American model, the latter is now prefered by young people...To put it simply, people go to McDonald's and other fast food restaurants.

Quantities have increased, and French traditionnal foods are among the fattest, accordingly people grew fat !

By the way, it's not Mntaigne, but Montaigne ^^
