Pin Thin....I'm OVER it!
I think some celebrities look better with a little meat on their bones. Take Lindsay Lohan for example. What was so "fat" about her in the first place? I don't believe that she needed to loose any weight. Why the sudden weight loss?
What about Nicole Ritchie? Why the drastic drop? If I recall, her and I are about the same height. The tabloids speculate that she is down to around 98 lbs. I am at least 30 lbs heavier than that, and I'm not necesarily fat--curvy yes, fat no. How do you think that makes me feel? Pretty damn inadiquate, that's how.
I used to have huge issues with my weight. When I was in high school I never had time to eat. First off, when I was younger, I was never really big on breakfast, so that's one meal lost. Between being in the band, choir, and newspaper staff I never ate lunch. I never bought something small from the al e carte table because I was saving up for gas money. That's minus two meals. When I would come home from school I would have to go to work, and I was lucky if I had time to sit down to have dinner with my family. I didn't even realize what I was doing to myself. Needless to say I got down to about 95 lbs. That was my junior year of high school.
After a year, I wisened up and realized what I was doing to myself. I began to eat. I immediately got up to about 125 lbs. This is where I believe my weight should be. I was healthy and active, but I always made time to eat.
Then I met Hardin in the fall of 2001....
We made eating our number one priority. Every night was cheese fries topped with bacon and ice cream for dessert. Needless to say, I got pretty large. In the summer of 2002, I got in a terrible auto accident and when I got weighed in I couldn't believe I was at 160 lbs!
That's when I realized I needed to do something.....
So I did. I went on the Atkins diet and boy did that work. I got down to 115 lbs in about 9 months. The only problem was I felt dizzy all of the time. I went to the Doctor and he diagnosed me as being hypoglocemic (sp?!).
I then started eating whatever in the hell I wanted, mixed it in with exercise, and have stayed right around 130 (although I think marital bliss might have added 5 lbs...I'm too scared to get on the scale!).
Am I happy with myself? For the most part. It's a day to day thing. But, come on ladies....EAT A FREAKIN TWINKIE OR THREE!!!!!

. I could use to lose about 15 pounds, and am currently doing yoga to help me become more active. However, I don't want to fret about my shape too much...my boyfriend likes it, and as for myself, I don't think I look too bad.
