that's a lot of my inspiration really. the yoyo dieting that is the result of the "you are too fat" mindset, no to mention all of the eating disorders, are long over due for an end.
People should be healthier, but that doesn't always mean they should be *thin*.
and Hollywood is particularly nasty about anything over stick thin.
Whereas the evil boyfriend from whom my husband rescued me always harped on how I needed to gain weight to be attractive.
Why should we conform to someone else's standards of beauty. Be comfortable in your own skin, and you'll find people who find you attractive for who you are, not for some fantasy image they have in their brain of what the perfect person should be.
I personally find a rubanesque woman to be much more attractive than an anorexic stick insect.
I am all for people being healthy and happy and sexy, just the way they *are*. And Hollywood needs to embrace that ideal.
Fashion shoots ought to as well, but usually the runway models are also the photo models. And runway models are specifically meant to actually be built like hangars. So I doubt that will ever change.
"if you lost all that extra weight you would be totally hot"
Yes, I'm sure that's why my husband continues to drool over me and moan enthusiastically about my figure. Because I'm not hot.
It's not the lack of finding people my size hot that bugs me. It's the lack of good sense and basic social skills in expecting other people to conform to their tastes.
yes indeedy. I gained 20 lbs while I was laid up and could not walk - I feel heavier, and like I am really lugging the weight around; Spydrman thinks I am even hotter than I was before I fell. Heh.
The irony is that it is often people who think they have such good manners that say these sort of things.

A size 2. Which is appropriate for a FOUR YEAR OLD.
I think that there should be a mandatory execution of a television producer every time they glorify someone being that twisted.

and, for the record, even before I met you, all I have ever heard about *you* is how mind meltingly hot you are.
and, naturally, all of those opinions concurr with mine. ;)

I am not worried about the extra weight fading away, I know it will.
