WHO GIVES A FUCK!
The media doesn't realize that they are the ones that are responsible for the body image problems in our country? OK, so MK weighs 80 lbs...she would get more media attention if she ballooned to 180 lbs. Nicole Richie is another example. Remember when she first starred in the Simple Life? She was a little thick, but she didn't look obese. She got static from the media, she was always in the worst dressed lists, etc. All of a sudden, the girl gets a stylist and drops about 50 lbs and she now one of the most stylish people. Now she's even thinner and all of a sudden, she's got anorexia. Will the media be blamed when these bitches starve themselves to death?
On the flipside, you got these "Big is beautiful" advocates that do nothing but advocate being fat. It's not OK to be unhealthy and overweight. Believe me, I'm overweight and I don't like it. But I will not prance around in a bikini and think that I'm all that. I've learned to accept myself just as is, but I'm not going to throw caution to the wind by eating everything I want because I'm already fat anyway. I think it's these "Camryn Manheim" type antics that embarrasses me more than my actual dress size. Maybe the skinnies have a point. Maybe this is why they starve themselves so that they don't have be lumped in a group with the "Big is beautiful" crowd.
Why are we so fascinated with the amount of fat a human stores? Isn't there a happy medium? I don't want to be the Nicole Richie, nor the Kirstie Allen who needed public acceptance by coming out on Oprah in a bikini. Why are we so focused on the body and not the mind?
I want to hear from the real people out there....
