what is going on here???

copy and paste the link, dont click it.

many young girls have self esteem issues when in reality they are perfectly good.

Well first of all take off the caps. It makes you seem more obnoxious than you already are.I suggest just doing some cardiovascular stuff to slim down. Her body doesn't look to toned and some of her body could just be genetics.It would also be wise to not set up goals like that, it puts mental blocks in your mind. I suggest more of a weight goal.

Please keep in mind that Marilyn Monroe had quite a bit of plastic surgery.

I was tempted to say that but I wasn't sure if it was true. Are you sure on that?

I've seen parts of some of her earlier movies and I had no clue who it was until my grandmother said it was her. She looked completely different. Atleast her face did. Here's a pic I found...

no one can ever look like Marilyn Monroe. Sorry to break it to you but she's one of a kind.

Well obviously haha I wasn't trying to say it was definate. Just that it looks like a possibility.

I don't see what the big deal is. I don't personally find her super attractive. She seems too fake and outwardly glamorous. I find that to be a bit of a turn off. The more you can work with what you have and be yourself, the more natural you will look and a lot of guys, me included, like that.

oh man i did't know monroe had plastic surgery, she was the only women that was hot throughout all of history before the 90s

It's not a sure thing she did. It's just a theory.

I KNOW SHE WAS A BRUNETTE, SHE HAD PLASTIC SURGERY ONLY ON HER CHIN AND NOSE, AND WHAT I MEANT TO ASK WAS, IN GENERAL, HOW CAN I TONE DOWN MY WAISTLINE AND STOMACH, BUT NOT LOOK MANLY??? BESIDES, I FEEL AS THOUGH I HAVE TO BE TONED DOWN BECAUSE ALL OF MY FAMILY IS THIN AND TONED AND MY STEPSISTER IS MODEL-ESQUE LOOKING...PS-SORRY IF I SEEM OBNOXIOUS BY WRITING IN ALL CAPS. IT HAS BEEN A HABIT. MY SISTER USED TO DO IT ALL THE TIME AND I ALWAYS WATCHED HER...

It may be a habit, but if you keep doing it I'll just start ignoring your posts because caps are a pain in the ass to read. I want to give advice, but you make it come across like you're shouting at me. It's not hard, just turn off caps lock.Basically, getting involved in some kind of sport or physical activity will help to improve the tone and shape of your body. Doing abdominal and core exercises will help to add a little strength to your abs and shape them a little more. The big thing is to reduce body fat but do not diet. Eating healthy is the best thing you can do. Eat an adequate number of calories, fruits, vegetables, protein (meat, soy products, etc), carbs, sources of calcium/vitamin D (milk, fortified soy milks).Improving the way your body looks comes mostly from the way your treat it. Do you eat healthy and are you active? If not, then try doing both those things. I don't know if you want to lose weight, but if that's your goal then you need to burn more calories than you eat, that simple. If you're already a healthy weight though, then there's not much reason to take a strict approach to losing weight. Just increase physical activity and eat healthy.

If you just want to slim down do a lot of cardio and light weights. I wouldn't try to to aspire to be Marilyn Monroe though. Just be realistic and be happy with the results you get.

Word to the wise. Do not diet and/or exercise in hopes that you will look like someone else. Everyone's body is unique and we all have our own physical flaws that will make us less than "perfect". The only the thing to do is work with what we've got in hopes of becoming the best us we can be. If you want help on "dieting" please feel free to PM me for the 411 on Basic Nutrition and what your body needs.~Your friendly neighborhood nurse
