Dammit, why is everyone so self-conscious and obsessed with the concept of their weight?? Had an hour-long conversation with a mate at college yesterday in which she just talked about various diets she was trying, how she was unbelievably disappointed in herself because she'd ate half a bar of chocolate which was dead against her diet etc etc. I just wish people would stop making such an issue of it.
I'm by no means non-bothered about my own weight, having struggled with many many weight issues in the past and ongoing, but I don't talk about it, don't obsess about it...I've just accepted that at a size 6-8 I'm obviously not as chubby as I sometimes feel.
My sister lost loads of weight, she said she wanted to in order to make herself more confident, so I was supportive. But now she's taking things WAY too far, she weighs herself first thing in the morning every day in the hope that she's lost another pound, constantly complains about being "fat" and hardly eats anything nowadays. I worry so much, but if I comment she simply says, "Well, you're the one who weighs less than 8 stone, not me"! She's a dress-size 10 for fucks sake, why the worry? Sorry, I just needed to rant about weight, it gets to me how looks/weight-obsessed our society is becoming. Why can't people just be happy with who they are?!
