as i sit here, trying to find distractions that will keep me awake at my desk at work, i studpidly fall for an MSN article on healthy eating.

this in turn led me to an online calculation of  my BMI- which of course told me that i am (according to their standards) obese.

i recognize how ridiculous it is to take an online assessment as fact. i

Maybe the solution is teaching women to be healthy, as opposed to skinny. Teach us that exercise is a key to good health, and that most diets are the way to bad health. Teach us that we CAN eat what we want, but in moderation.

CEASE ALL MEDIA that even insinuates that in order to be beautiful, we must look like Angelina Jolie, Cameron Diaz and other notable famous skinnies. Teach us to be ourselves.

i feel that you should not worry about eating a bagel for breakfast, or drinking regular sam addams, or whatever you were drinking, because you are a very healthy girl. You're always on the move, always have energy, and really i never see you overeat.

you know i have these same troubles. i hate my body and the way i eat even though i have low cholestoral and perfect blood pressure and all that good stuff. we really need to stop obsessing, thats the key.

fyi tyra banks made it official that she will not be airbrushed for any modeling job she does from now on. i think everyone forgets that although many of those models and actresses are 100 lbs or less and have very fit bodies, the bitches dont really look that good in real life.

clearly i digress. don't let this shit get to you, it's stupid and a waste of time. (i will try to take my own advice)

dear steph,

i find that the best thing for body image is to have really really hot sex. as naked as you can be, or in some crazy outfit. seriously, your body will take this as a gesture of friendship, and you will appreciate all your body does for you. masturbation works, too. But if you want to go get laid we all know you can, BECAUSE YOU'RE HOT!

ok, seriously, i'm being silly, but not, but sort of. But i totally agree with you on this one. and in addition to being ht you are articulate. congratulations.

love,
nancy
