Lacey Schwimmer Chaz Bono Dancing With The Stars Curvy Body Eating Disorder Self Love Confidence Black Dress

Chaz Bono's dancing queen on Dancing with the Stars is a beautiful woman.

But she definitely isn't the Hollywood norm…and that's a good thing!

Lacey Schwimmer is a woman of curves, and she couldn't be happier.

After defeating an eating disorder as a teenager, one that held her down at a size zero while she survived on six slices of turkey a day, she has maintained a self-love about herself that keeps her healthy.

The dancer exclaims:

I have boobs, I have a huge butt and I have a lot of muscle. I like having curves - I'm proud of them!

Yeah! Preach it!

Honestly, the main thing is that you're healthy.

If you're obsessed with thinspo and starving yourself, that ish is just not cute! But if you're naturally slender, wonderful!

The same goes for curvier women like Lacey. If that's your natural body shape, beautiful! But if you're sulking around all day with pints of Ben & Jerry's, you could gain more poise and happiness through a healthy regime of exercise!

REAL women aren't bound by a certain dress size, and REAL women come in all shapes and sizes, but the most important aspect of a REAL woman is that she's healthy.

And Lacey is most definitely the personification of health. You go, girl!

Aaron & Jordan Rodgers' Dad Opens Up About Their Family Rift -- 'Fame Can Change Things'

As we all know by now, Aaron Rodgers and his brother Jordan don't get along. In fact, sources say Olivia Munn's longtime love is actually estranged from their WHOLE family. Oof.

And, it seems pretty clear the NFL player and his family aren't about to patch things up anytime soon. During a recent interview with The New York Times, Aaron and Jordan's dad Ed got candid about their complicated family dynamic. When asked about his 28-year-old son's stint on the The Bachelorette, Mr. Rodgers quipped:

"One in the news is enough for us...Fame can change things."

Awkward. Not to mention, Ed even noted it was "hard to tell" if his tense relationship with his son had gotten any better over the years. It probably doesn't help that the Rodgers patriarch is unhappy with the world knowing their family drama. We mean, he made sure to relay to the newspaper:
