Insatiable
so i have an odd taste in books, i read a combo of teen books, death and dying books, eating disorder books, and religious books..like at the moment i'm reading Ishmael but before that i read Wild Orchids so u really can never tell. but what i was really thinking about that book (insatiable) was i was remembering this part about this overweight girl who loses a bunch of weight and then she talks to this guy that she totally liked from afar and he shows her a picture of his girlfriend and the girl is overly shocked cuz his girlfriend is chubby and she just assumed cuz he's ultra hot popular jock-o that he would have this stick girl but no he had a normal sized girl...and it's funny cuz they (and when i say they i dunno who "they" are but go with me on this) say that guys actually like bigger girls than woman think they would, like if you gave women and men, seperately, pictures of different body types the woman always picked a girl with bigger boobs and a smaller waist than the guys did, the guys usually picked like a size 6-10 where as the woman always chose like size 3 woman...which is totally ironic because i still maintain that we ladies get all gussied up adn lose weight for other ladies and not for men, even tho we THINK it's for the men or at least we SAY it is, like you're trying to look good for some guy, well he would prolly pick the girl without any make up who is a size 8 with a B cup so really who is it we're trying to impress? are we just trying to out-do the girls around us or do we really think that looking the way the touched up models do is going to land us that debonaire stud? maybe we need to wake ourselves up a bit and realize that even the ultra-suave jock in my crazy eating disorder book wanted a girl with some meat on her, (ok so in the book he was like this perfect guy that was all compasionate and had a blind mother that he loved and took care of and all that but once again just go with me on this) maybe we ladies need to stop killing ourselves over some image of some girl who happened to be born just that lanky and tall and all and perhapas if we band together and realize that none of us like this crazy competition we're in it would work out a lot better because i ahppen to like the distinct look of each individual woman, i mean if u think about it guys have like 3 body types where as woman have like a zillion, we're all so differently shaped and proportioned, that's why clothes are so hard to fit and we're always whining that we're deformed, in actuality God just wanted some interest so He made us in a few different sizes..so why not appreciate that? why not just say hey i'm this size and height and weight and i like it, and i don't care if i have hips or no hips or a pooch or fat ankles or tiny toes, just be like hey u know what i like me, i like what i look like, i'm the essence of beauty in my individual size, i am what i was made and no one cna make me feel bad about that...why is it so hard for us to do that, to just get fed up with what we all realize is some crazy corporate ploy to sell south beach diet foods and just say i'm healthy and that's what matters most?
