Bless Vanessa - I can't help but want everyone to succeed, I know how awful I feel when people look at me - imagine having a photographer pop up every time you eat a cake. The media is in a bloody mess when you tot up the amount of time and money it spends stalking celebrities having dinner versus how much attention is paid to the real news. Hate it. Hate that we have to be critical of women for being too fat or too thin and the only worthwhile woman is a woman men want to sleep with. I'd just like everyone to be able to be happy with themselves.
I also resent the idea that looking good = looking slim. I loathe people commenting on my weight anyway but when people say I'm looking good, meaning I'm looking slimmer it makes me wonder how sh!t they thought I looked before.
Some people really do look better bigger - Pauline quirke looked terrible after she lost all her weight - not saying she should have stayed her original size but maybe a comfy medium. Claire from steps also looks prettier slightly curvier. It's true when they say some people have to pick between body and face - and in our society body seems to win every time, which makes no real sense to me.
