in the news a lot lately, are thoughts on how magazines are to blame for young woman dieting to the point of death.
not because they are not beautiful, but because they see these thin woman on the covers and think that is the image they need to be.
what is funny about image though, is depending on the time period in history, you would see a wide variety of images of beauty.
Obese does not always equal gluttony though. My sister-in-law hardly ever eats, yet gains weight. While my wife's friend eats like it is going out of style and gains nothing. Bodies are all different.
I would like to add though, that I do agree with your point. How can you DF for smoking and not for over eating, when both can harm your heath and shorten your life?

Kids can be so cruel. I was a real thin kid and always got made fun off. I wanted to be heavier more then anything in the world. People would always say I should be happy being thin, but I never was. I guess there is something about each one of us that kids picked out and made fun of.

open your damn mail guys!.
i was wondering why you guys do this?
take a damn box from yahoo just for mail from this site or something!
I can honestly say, I never really gave it much thought. I always figured if someone wanted my e-mail they would ask for it. Otherwise, I just kind of figured we all chat online and have fun.

i found it humorous and sad and revealing when i was in jerhover's borganization that this is the reaction i often got from the younger, raised in the troof jws.
reading facial expressions and body language, it was more than apparent to me that they were thinking, "you mean you weren't forced into this??
you actually chose to be a jw??!!".
I don't think I ever felt that way. Although, I was always a little careful with new people. Only because I was kind of feeling them out, to see if they were good association. I kind of took everyone one-on-one in the congregation for the most part.

I do not go to bed to early, so I seem them all the time. Ran across one on "Penis" enlargement last night at about 2AM. It was suppose to look like some talk show, but of course it was just a info-mercial. One of the local radio stations around here tested the "boob in a bottle" enlargement pills once. It worked as long as you took them, but they shrunk right after you stopped. I don't remember how much bigger they got. I just remember hearing it as a drove to work each morning on the radio.

Posting allows us to control the whole show of what we want to do online, when we unlock our e-mail it is like opening up to something more, that we might not be ready for.

Stay up late enough at night and you will see some info-commercials on these products.

You are stuck on fat today!!
I think it is because I have been in Lammas (sp) classes all weekend, and hearing woman saying they felt ugly because they were fat and pregnant. I hate self defeating statements! In all though, the classes were long and boring and gave my brain to much time to think.
