Just Becaue I am Not 300lbs
So many things in this world irritate me and one of them is weight issues and and problems with body image in women. I say in women becasue this is the area I have experience with and knowledge of and because I have never had a conversation about it with a man. I am not an overweight person by any means. I am 5'2 and weigh only 111 pounds at last check. Sounds ok right? Well its not a bad thing but just because I am this size does not mean that I am in any way perfect or at the place I wish I was. It truely pisses me off that when I say anything about my stomach or ass in front of other women I get the response of "I don't want to hear about it! Look at you theres nothing wrong" My typical response is "you haven't seen me naked" That usually works to shut people up but it enrages me. Why is it that just becasue I do not weigh 300 pounds I don't have the right to be unhappy with my body? I have never said I need to loose weight or that I am fat. I have expressed the fact that I would be happier with myself if my body was closer in image to the way it was when I was 16. Of course at age 31 I know that will not happen, I'm not in any sort of denial about my aging. But, I think I have a good shot of getting at least close, maybe even 21. No, I am not fat. Yes, my stomach and sides are not what they used to be. I want them flat again and I want to be able to have a nice defined curve again. I want my thighs slimmer then they are. What is wrong with that? Nothing. Then why do I feel like a complaining bitch who is totally unawares of the plight of truely fat women? It's just plain stupid. If you are fat and want to loose weight please don't let my wants stop you or make you feel fatter. It's not my problem. And please, when and if I do reach my goals, feel free to talk about me behind my back because I did it and you did not. It's just petty and takes away from the time you have to loose your own fat. Go ahead and continue to roll your eyes at me when I voice a complaint about my tummy. In a year when it is flat I really won't give a shit how you felt about it.

And this is why this American "Kulture" Is so fucked up that women are given an image that is impossible to meet and based on superficiality. We as a country are focused on the outward, the superficial. That is why we are truly a superficial and a decadent culture. As the Roman Empire once was, so are we.
