so i havent updated since 12/28....
just to warn you in advance that this is a rant....
i've noticed on pretty much every TV station, but mostly MTV, that every other commerical seems to be for either diet pills or for weight loss companies like LA weightloss. the thing that bothers me is being constantly inendated by these commercials. its bad enough that i have to deal with people on a daily basis who bitch to me that they're "fat", let alone being bombared by commericals who push weight loss drugs that could potentially be fatal. (there's a reason the FDA outlawed effedra) i'm sick of people bitching about being fat when they clearly are not. boo hoo. have you looked at me lately? i'm not thin, but i choose to have a positive self image of myself. the people who have to turn to weight loss pills to make them feel good about themselves is sickening. yes, i'd like to be thin, but i know that its not exactly going to happen unless i do something drastic like have gastric bypass surgery. i've come to terms with that. i have been raised in such a way that i try my best to eat healthy, well rounded meals. exercise is the only thing that i really lack, and is probably why my body is the way it is. however there is no escaping the fact that obesity runs in my family. my mom, dad, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc are also overwieght.
and furthermore, i have no patience for people that think men will love them if they "just loose 10 pounds". i want a man that will love me for what i look like now, not what he hopes i will look like if maybe i loose some weight. this country is so screwed up with its image of the perfect body. a growing number of americans are overwieght and cannot relate with images that we are bombarded with in the media. instead these girls (or boys) will turn to eating disorders and pills to help them cope with the image of their imperfect bodies.
wow.. ok... i seriously think that i have seasonal affective disorder because that just hit me all at once and i felt the need to write it down.
other than that, i have been kicking ass in my classes and doing all the readings and participating in class. i'm trying to hit a 3.0 for my last semester as an undergrad. (too bad i didnt get graded for last semester)
more updating later... i promise it won't be as bitchy
