Weighing In
Having a perfect body is every woman's dream and this is because everywhere you turn there is always something reminding us that we have to look a certain way in order to be successful in career placement, relationships, and everyday life. Not everyone is the same, accomplishing this takes very hard work and exhausting everything it takes to achieve this is the beginning of the end for some women.
