Role Models and Resources for a Better Me

Found a model I can finally fall in love with: Crystal Renn.  She's smokin' hot and a healthy shape and size.  There's someone a gal like me can look at and say, "I want to be healthy so I can look like that."  She looks like a comic book heroine!  On the cover of her book, for example, she looks a bit like Wonder Woman.  Gals like me lose faith they can ever be pretty (read slimmer) again because we see anorexic super-models and think: we have way too far to go to ever get there.  Crystal Renn, however, is an example of hot that just might be attainable.  I'm not built to be a size 2, nor would I want to be.  I like breasts and hips and curves, and you do NOT get those on twiggy super models.  Definitely need to check out her autobiography.

Link to her info on Squiddo, including links to other plus-size models!
Link to her autobiography (I prefer the jacket cover with her in the corset-dress-thing).

Also found a website called Hungry Girl, which is a site devoted to one woman's life-long love of food and her struggle to balance that love with a healthy life-style.  Mainly it's devoted to her low-calorie, low-fat, low-carb finds that still taste great.  I think it will be a good resource as a shopping guide.  She compares the "figure-friendly" recipe with the average example of said food item, and some of the things I take for granted are hella calorie-packed!  She found a way to make a 125 calorie margarita that looks just as tasty as the regular thing (which is 350 calories on average).  I think someone should start a restaurant based on these kinds of recipes.  All kinds of tasty, tasty foods, but at a fraction of the personal cost, if you follow me.
