I had a friend show me the same site months ago. A few things I noticed specifically:

- Even models have cellulite. It's a fat pattern. The only thing that ever makes it go away entirely is Photoshop.

- Even women with 14% body fat or below have lines and wrinkles on their torsos when they bend in certain ways.

- Even women whose abdomens are pure muscle have their stomachs airbrushed out. Entirely. Concave, even. Anatomically impossible. So I don't worry about having a "flat tummy" anymore.

- Posture is everything.

- Many of the "imperfections" that get airbrushed out don't look bad at all.

- These women are beautiful before their bodies are morphed into an unrealistic ideal.

- I don't really look that bad.
