I'm glad that Special K have taken a different approach to their adverts:) Instead of making women feel like they can't  be happy unless they reach a certain number, the adverts are encouraging women to feel happy about the way they look and their confidence and encouraging them to never give up:D Being big myself I think it's very motivational xx
