The Body Beautiful Project 
So I saw your special in MTV’s TrueLife. I greatly support your cause! I, myself have first hand experienced being larger than what our culture calls average. I never have and never will fit into the thin mold society places on “beauty”. I amend you for being bold in this up and coming societal awareness. Now more than ever our society and culture should be realising “our” average size, as the majority of the population does not “fit” into the norm of being “beautiful”. I am so very proud to have seen you accomplish “The Body Beautiful Project” on your campus! This moevment is so very important to bring to light. Everyone should have the respect as the next and feel beautiful being as who there are! Just wanted to give a shout out in full support to everyBODY’s beautiful-ness! Best wishes in continued strides in an equality amonst everyBODY!
