I read these stories the day after attending a lesbian superbowl party (I <i>know</i>) where one of the guests needed to tell my friends' dog repeatedly and loudly what a FAT belly she had and how she had to go on a diet, get on the treadmill, etc.--and then all the diet talk came out. "I only have 20 pounds to go!" Etc. And I just--I'm not sure how to not hate myself anymore. The shit is everywhere! We were at the DMV and they had Oprah on, some weight loss bullshit, maybe even the one you saw on teenagers. I was in the grocery store and on the in-store radio was a commercial for pears admonishing shoppers that the only pear shape in your house should be in the fruit bowl! I can't leave my house without being bombarded by constant reminders of just how WRONG I am. I've had a few bad days this week. I'm sure you can relate.
