The one question no woman wants to hear.....

I've spent the last 6 days at the fair, and I was able to meet a ton of fun people...fairs are always a good time. However, there is something that has weighed heavy on my mind, let me explain.

The night before the modbe body image fashion show I was getting all my models together, and I had the most darling bubbly girl stop by my booth. She was with her mom, and I begged them to be a part of the fashion show. The little girl aggreed and we started trying on swimsuits, we found just the one for her 12 year old body. She looked great and seemed really excited.

BUT....

The next day she showed up again with her mom, this time with a little different attitude, she came out of the dressing room complaining of the suit fitting "too tight," and her being "too fat" needless to say, she ended up not taking her spot in the fashion show that she had been so exstatic about.
Come to find out after talking to her mom, this little 12 year old girl had been asked "when are you due?" by another lady at the fair. That is the one question no woman wants to hear, but especially when you are only 12. I felt for her, and suddenly realized how that single comment will change that girls world forever.

I wished so bad I could give her back the confidence she had less than 24 hours before.

There's got to be a way, I hope I can figure it out and make a difference.
