add on

ok. so i know i just posted but i found some more things that really help add on to and prove my poiint about weight issues. Apperantly some radio host attacked Meghan McCain for her weight calling her "a plus-sized supermodel". If any of you have seen Meghan McCain, she isnt plus sized. She isnt skinnny either. She said she was a size 7 or 8 before the elections and campaigning. But during that time she had gained some weight and went up to a size 10. I want to say that most of that was probably due to some stress about the campaign. and i'm glad she is healthy. But why do people insist on calling people over a size 6 FAT???? we aren't.

there is a video about what had happened. they also are talking about what happened with tyra banks. She gained some weight and wore an unflattering bathing suit. and people called her fat. OH my god. do we honestly have nothingn else to do besides rag on people who gain weight? is there nothing else we can do? like maybe go read a damn book? holy shit. Now if someone like Tyra had gained 100 lbs, i would wonder what the hell happened and if they are ok. but gaining 20 lbs, putting on a little extra pudge is not bad. why would you want to be nothing but skin and bones like Lindsey Lohan? what appeal is there in that? i dont understand.

gotta go. class time. tootles

ugh

so yeah i havent written in a while. no biggie. but josh is buggin so i might as well.

umm...yeah so i read alot of things on the internet about celebrities and junk like that. i enjoy it . i dunno why but i do. but i'm always finding things like how they say they "will always be thicker."-Mandy Moore. i dont get it. Moore has got to be only a size 5. not even. she is beautiful. and then all that shit about jessica simpson gaining weight. she didnt look fat at all in that picture. most of you have probably seen it. the one of her in high waisted jeans, a black beater, and an ugly belt. ok so the outfit was deffinatly not flattering. and yeah she has gained weight. but not enough to be called fat. and then she says she will loose 20 lbs. just because she has a bad picture and everyone freaked out. she is a beautiful woman. i dont get it. people like her and mandy moore are georgeous. mooore has an athletic body. probably not an oz. of fat on her and she says she is thicker. if she is thicker its because of muscle not fat.
I am thicker. i am a size 9 girl. i hate it. i was down to a size 6 last spring. and after i got done with colorguard and band i gained all that damn wieght back. i'm trying to loose it again. i need to. i am over weight and unhealthy. yeah i also want to look good. but i honestly dont think i want to look super skinny. its not who i am. now, its taking time for me to come to these kinds of terms for myself.
i mean, really, i've been growing up in a world where a size 2 body is perfect. so how do girls growing up come to terms with themselves? they are getting eating advice and confidence boosts from twigs. how does that help when a 12 year old girl is seeing someone like Tyra ( i like tyra dont get me wrong) saying you are beautiful, and fierce and no one should say different. Tyra is this georgeous skinny woman and is totally famous. when she talks to young girls, do you really think they hear a word she says? no they are to busy thinking how much they either arent as pretty or how are they ever going to get that way. wat if we had someone else doing that? someone who is chunkier and happy to be that way? dont you think it would be better for those girls?
if women can show that they are happy being a size 9 or 14 and that they think they are beautiful, i think more girls would look towards them and not go into thier bulemia and anorexia or degridation.

on another note, i was reading things about the "tween queen" Miley Cirus. god that girl needs to grow up. i like her singing. she is actually very talented. but really, she is trying to look older. look at the things she wears to the awards. but isnt there something else that should go with that look? something like maturity? really, she needs to grow up. her latest hissy was because radiohead or whatever said no to meeting her. and now she plans on ruining them. come on. is that honestly the kind of image she wants to put off? omg. i cant stand her attitude. i cant wait till she gets her wake up call. that will be a nice change.

life for me, is as usual, pretty decent. i got a new job. it's not too too bad. i got done with my training hours so i am officially on the schedule.
i got to see some friends today and my old youth mentor. she and alot of friends asked about my engagement. it made me all giddy again thinking about it haha. mmm...i still can't believe it. but yeah everyone is asking for the date. josh and i are thinking october 9th of maybe 2014. but that is 5 years away so maybe 2012. i dont know. it just cant be 2013.
but thats about it in my life. spring break is pretty much over. classes begin back on monday. woo hoo.

later
