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."

One of these days....

I'll make a web post while visiting in San Diego. Yes, I was there again last weekend. And reality is, I'm too busy and having too much fun to worry about the web blog while I'm there. Mr. San Diego was wonderful again, and had to make his way to Seattle for two weeks because of work. So I'm glad that I went to see him before he had to leave. The next time we are going to get together, it's going to be camping during Labor Day with my best friend from high school and her husband.

And I'm not going to kiss and tell, so there's not too much to say about that. But I will say that I'm very happy, and completely comfortable with him, so I hope that we can both end up in Phoenix and closer together.
