Women, especially in the U.S., have a stricken desire to lose weight. Why? Because they think thinness will make them look beautiful. They are, in a word, vain as anything you can imagine. At work, for instance, I know of one woman who is overweight but not too much, and she makes it no secret that she is trying to lose weight. She won’t look any prettier if she were 120 pounds, I can tell you that. She is so vain. Vain, vain, vain! And it irks me so!
Now I, myself, have settled with my not-so-teeny body and get really annoyed with those women who, out of pure vanity, exercise like hyenas to be thin, and diet like zombies to be skinny. Skinny does not make you pretty! Many overweight women are beautiful, like the passed away Anna Nicole. Her life was not exemplary, but she was, you have to admit, beautiful.
At work, this woman who makes it everybody’s business that she is dieting (with no success–she still is a roly poly) said she had a dream that she was thin. And she looked so….(she stopped there). I can’t say she looked pretty because no matter how thin she got, she would still be below average in looks.
It’s not for health that women diet. No! It’s for vanity’s sake. And it irks me to no end. The world needs a wake up call. Pudgy, but not so much that it causes health concerns, must come back IN!
