I can honestly say that I have never noticed anyone's cellulite. I am sure I have it, though I am not sure, I don't own a full length mirror. 
Also, i ain't backing in the shower for anybody. Take me as I am or not. Be thankful for your body, for there are some that probably wish they had it. IMHO.

Zebraspots....good plan!
BR, surgery isn't a solution. Healthier eating and exercise helps minimize cellulite. Eat organic and good fats, yes fats can be good for you. Exercise and using some supplements that will help move toxins through your lymphatic system work great.
I walk every day at least 1 mile with the dog, use light weights, eat only organic now, use chlorella and red root (red root helps get the lymphatic system moving debris and toxins out)
I quit smoking, too!
I've noticed that I've built more muscle and I don't know if the cellulite went away or it's just not as noticeable. I've had it a long time. It runs in my family. But, without changing your lifestyle, it will just come back again even if you've had surgery.

Darn good advice. I was lamenting a few months ago (to my sister) about my appearance. I've always been petite, small frame, decent muscle tone in arms, legs, buttocks - but NEVER had a flat stomach, even when I was 98 lbs at 16 (it's not a huge belly, but I've always had a small pouch). Now that I'm 43, and yes I'm also a beer lover, my tummy is a bit bigger - I can still wear a size 4 or 6, but I have this flabby tummy that I think looks awful in certain cute "shirts" - so I quite wearing those shirts. My sister pulled me in front of a mirror and said "Ok, do you remember how you looked when you were 16? You looked GREAT, but even then you weren't happy with something....so NOW, what would you give to look like when you were 16? Ok, now think about how you look now, and imagine yourself being 60, 75 or 80. Would you be happy when you're 75 to look like you look NOW???? The key to looking good in those shirts is being CONFIDENT and HAPPY and EMBRACING yourself".
She's right, and so are you. ;-) Not saying we should let ourselves go - being healthy is important! But it's also important to realize we are NOT 16, and how we present ourselves leaves a much more lasting impression than how we *don't* present ourselves (i.e., hiding behind big sloppy shirts).

Healthy and realistic are the big ones for me.
We constantly compare ourselves to photos of women who have a team of professionals who work on their diet, skin, hair, and bodies, before they bring in the professional team that works on their makeup, hair and clothes, before they get photographed by professionals, and then have more professionals alter and perfect the image before we see it.
Kim Kardashian and Jlo's famous butts have cellulite. It's just life.
