Their feelings are still valid. They still feel the same way about their bodies as we do.

thank you mentioning this fox- an important thing to consider

Hmmmm my point was more that she didn't have a right to feel dissatisfied with her body, but that others in the movie treated her body in a way that made her feel dissatisfied. For example, her ex boyfriend lied about her weight to the woman he was cheating on her with as if her weight was shameful. Rather than being perturbed at her feelings, I was a little tiffed that her weight in the movie was treated as though she were bigger, especially with all the media hoopla surrounding Zellweger's weight gain. I did not mean to offend by implying that women don't have a right to bodily dissatisfaction, more a complaint against what leads women to dislike their bodies. I hope that makes more sense of my point...

I still like the movie
