I understand that it is the job of every magazine out there to sell more than other magazines, but when the headline to sell such magazines is about Jessica Simpson and her weight, really? I mean it seems that people can't get anything right. If they gain a few pounds, they're fat. Lose some weight and they're too skinny. Give us a break!
I have weight to lose, I don't dispute that. I am the fitness infomercial queen. If you've seen an infomercial on it, I probably own the product. But this is not the mixed message you need to be sending young girls and women. Even my 10 year old says she's worried she's getting fat. How sad is that? This is what the media is doing to our children. Well, that and the fact that you can't walk into a "fashionable" store and find anything over a size 2. I'm exagerrating but not by much. We need to go back to the times when being curvy was good. I think I read that Marilyn Monroe was like a size 14 and she was the ideal at the time. We have to get back to that!

Amen sister...AMEN! I was thinking the same thing when I saw how they were calling her fat because she might have gained a few pounds. WHATEVER! Victoria has told me before "I can't eat that because I don't want to get fat" Seriously, that's what society is making us believe, anyone over a size 4 is fat. WHATEVER, that means I must be obese. Granted I know I'm overweight but if I had my picture posted for the entire world to see saying how fat I was, I would seriously be very upset. I think we have ALOT more things to worry about in this world than someone gaining weight. Gees!
