a certain amount of subcutaneous fat (cellulite) is necessary for good health in women of reproductive years. Without this system, homo sapiens would have been extinct long ago. The models you see in photos who have none are either 1) unhealthy and very young and have never had children or 2) lit well then airbrushed.

When I was anorectic in my 20's, my size 5's drooping on me, I only saw the cellulite and wanted desperately to change that. Now, I self-assess more on the basis of who I am inside and how I feel (in terms of energy and strength and being spiritually centered) and have an urge to change the world outside myself in its harsh ways of judging women, rather than continue to demand "perfection" of the appearance of my own much-abused body.
