Yesterday's post asking you if anyone had ever made a comment about your looks you never forgot generated a flood of awful memories, reminding us all how tough it is to be a girl sometimes in a looks-obsessed world. A few readers reached out to give their fellow commenters some reassurance and kind words; here are just three examples and I suggest that everyone takes them to heart!
"These comments are so sad. I wish I could just make us all forget these awful comments and be happy." — janneth
"I just want to give all of the other posters a huge hug!!! I know all of the terrible things that have been said to you are LIES." — lawchick
"These posts make me so sad! Women are amazing and beautiful and sexy and every other good adjective you can think of! My Grandma once made a comment, very loudly and in front of my entire family, 'Stephanie, how many cookies have you had?' I was incredibly embarrassed. Thankfully, I married a man who likes a woman with a little 'junk in the trunk' and I have a pretty good body image. Plus, having two daughters that are so in love with their bodies has really put me in a good place with my body!" — doogirl

I agree... I have had some harsh things said to me and if I ever have a little girl, I really would like to keep her in a bubble when it comes to 'too fat, too skinny' etc crap. Knowing what kind of damage it can do to a person!
