Weight Obsession-take one

janet, mariah, beyonce, ashanti, britney.

what do they have in common? their weight fluctuates, as it should. but for some reason when we see it on them we think that that's it for them. like when bey put back on the weight she lost for her role in dream girls everyone was commenting on it as if a) she didn't look good and b) she would never be able to lose it.

these are stars. it's their job to look good when they are working (promoting an album, in concert etc.) does it matter if they put on some weight when they are on their off-season? no, it doesn't and it damn well shouldn't. these people have access to professionals (trainers and cooks) that can have them down to a size 4 before me or you could even lose 5lbs.

i'm for celebrating our non-stick-thin celebs so i give props to all those who are showing their curves!!!

ps. look out for my essay on the "downfall" of britney...

Personal Info!!!

can i tell you that some how in the last 2 months or so i have put on 20lbs! how is that possible? in any event i don't like it. everything thing that i love wearing like my H&M tweed blazer has decided to stop fitting and if i do fit into it i look and feel darn uncomfortable.

with that being said...i'm pretty much disgusted that i let it get this bad and have decided to do Self Magazine's new you program (its on self.com). i've been doing it for the last 3 days and already i've lost 2lbs. i know i have a way to go but we'll see how it works out.

officially now i'm 185 and if i'm going to commit to something i might as well go all the way so my goal is going to be 145ish in 6 months (24 wks) to lose the 40. wish me luck!
