Often weight, being too fat...is a flashpoint...or in some cultures, being skinny...but in our culture, you can never be too rich or too thin, unfortunately. Not that I believe it, but it is a rotten ethic that many have in the back of their minds. I appreciate your giving me a heads up about the book. Any idea where it is up for review?Carole Di Tostihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11831790843436160256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8563839854714602285.post-45148488671564568262012-08-05T13:41:30.411-07:002012-08-05T13:41:30.411-07:00A great blog Carole.

They can take care of their body curves by dieting and moderate exercises like aerobics but not muscles with gim equipment.

I do know that a gymnast in our school battled with anorexia and I have heard that many have had problems with remaining thin so they binge and purge. The thinner the more competitive and when girls are together they plot about eating and starving...it's part of a secret movement these days, #thinspo or thinspiration that is undercover for some anorexics. So, yes, it is tough...and even older women in their 70s are now concerned about their weight...to the point of obsession. It never ends, it seems. <br />Thanks for your comments.Carole Di Tostihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11831790843436160256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8563839854714602285.post-61060072358011992182012-07-11T05:36:42.671-07:002012-07-11T05:36:42.671-07:00I love your blog post and can totally relate. I ha...I love your blog post and can totally relate. I have struggled with my weight my whole life. Not that I am to over weight, but enough that I'm not comfortable. Now that I am getting older, it doesn't want to come off anymore. As a teen, I was a gymnast and a stocky one at that, but I would go back and forth on the scale. I look at the girls today and see quite a few that are so tiny, i wonder how in the world they got so small? A lot of them look to weigh about 80lbs! I don't remember to many girls when I was a teen that were that small. Anyway, great topic!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10481344598298150867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8563839854714602285.post-244750838214531462012-07-10T15:13:24.806-07:002012-07-10T15:13:24.806-07:00I like this blog post.

Gesturing to her body, she said, "I must stop eating so much". I said, "No, you're beautiful and I want a real girl for the cover of this book."<br />No way was I going to contribute to this craziness. If you want to look at some of the results of the shoot that have been turned into anti-bullying images & slogans, here's the link.<br />http://tahlianewland.com/cant-shatter-me/stop-bullying-images-inspired-by-the-book/Tahlia Newlandhttp://tahlianewland.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8563839854714602285.post-41028322811204325462012-07-04T17:51:43.053-07:002012-07-04T17:51:43.053-07:00Now you said it, Vimida.Now you said it, Vimida.Carole Di Tostihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11831790843436160256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8563839854714602285.post-4964711815049396012012-07-03T22:01:08.814-07:002012-07-03T22:01:08.814-07:00It's about time....being too thin was really b...It's about time....being too thin was really bad trend.
