Life of a former witch

I've outgrown my wicked witch of the west ways. Reflections of life afterwards, living in the desert with two cats, friends, family, and my hot and cold love life.

Must rant.....ignore the flames

I must express my fustration about the "double standard" about how women are supposed to look healthy, yet the diet companies are promoting getting skinnier.

My rants are at Nutrisystem. Here's the "before" model as a size 10:



And here's the after as a size 4:




I had to come to reality because I lived high school as a size 6 by not eating. In retrospect, I was in denial that I had an eating problem, but now I can accept that. I tell myself that she's probably only 5'2", and a size 10 doesn't look as flattering than a person 5'11" as a size 10. When I had my last celiac flare, I dropped down to a size 6 (about 40 pounds), people told me that I didn't look healthy. For me being 5'11", I can try and accept that I can live healthy as a size 10.

But it still annoys me, because that little voice in my head will say "see, you can drop that much too". I can tell it to shut up, but I don't like having an outlet to say "told you so - drop the weight lard ass."
