Heart-Breaking

On one hand, I love this video.

On the other hand, it makes me sad.

They keep Ann Wilson in the background instead of showing her in action because she's a big girl. They put Nancy up front because she has a more slender physique.

They're both beautiful.

Big girls, we're beautiful too. Don't let the damn diet industry keep you in the background. Get out there and strut your stuff!

I know the pain, because I've fought with it too.

But I ended up married to a great guy, who happens to be thin, not that it matters. He loves me not for my size or in spite of my size. He just loves ME!

Love yourself, and maybe the right guy (or girl) will come along and fall in love with the beautiful person that is you.

And even if that doesn't happen, love yourself anyway!

A Tasty Cut

RT @funnysolo When I'm depressed I cut myself.... a piece of cake.

If I had some cake, I'd say that's a damn choice idea!

Since my housemate moved in and has been helping me shop and cook, I've lost about 10 pounds simply from not eating fast food any more. I'm sure that the fact I've been doing my water aerobics more faithfully again helps as well. But I'm never going to be skinny, because you best believe that if you put that cake in front of me, I'm gonna eat it!

Life's too short to stress out about fulfilling impossible ideals.

Bon Appetít!
