Self has an article this month called Finding Your Happy Weight.It's a good article that makes you realize just how much time is spent, or wasted, looking for that magic number on the scale.Did you know that 86% of women postpone something ( dating, shopping, sex) til they are at that magic number.And only 18% consider their weight to be just right.It talks about how too often that magic number is one from out past like our teenage years.The article encourages women to focus instead on their health, the things they like about their bodies and enjoying life to the fullest so that you're too busy to obsess about your butt!

I started to watch a cosmetic surgery show the other night.

Kinda like George. If I could actually have him I'd probably never want him.Wait, maybe I've taken this too far......

I agree about the food thing - when I can't have something, I want it. I think moderation is important, although if I had to pick one food group to eat more of to be healthy it would have to be vegetables. Some days I want too many carbs & some of them are white ones like Italian bread. That is my weakness, I'll admit. Lately, I've quit craving sweets and moved on to Italian food - good grief!
Many books have been written about lowering portions as we get older. If one works out enough, one shouldn't have to go on a starvation diet, though. Some health foods I enjoy, and I'll have to agree with Booty on some of that fake stuff. The chemicals just manage to upset stomachs and systems & they don't taste good. I can't stomach that sugar free AND fat free ice cream or other sweets - it must be the replacement products they use. Yuck!
I can see where attitude and not obsessing about weight is good advice... to a point.

Time invested in improving ourselves cuts down on time disapproving of others.
