People have their opinions on what makes the ideal lady. Some will think you are to tall or to short, your hair is to nappy or short, your skin is to dark, you're too fat, your breast is  too big or not big enough.  With celebrities bodies set as the standards of what all women should look like, the fight to keep up can be out of control.

Every since a little child, I been told that I could not do this or could not achieve that, that my disease would hold me back and I cannot lie that it did not hold me back.
