I think women are generally much more sensitive about the way they look than men are. One reason why they can be nastier than men as well.

An example of being well grounded the wrong way.

I told her how to lose about 180 pounds really quick...divorce him! LOL! But not necessarily a joke. Stress and despair can lead to weight gain. The pleasure of tasty food is a bandaid on unhappiness.

You don't always pop pills to wear a zero. You smoke heavily, pretend to eat, and do lots of shopping.
The BMI business is garbage. What was wrong with the insurance industry standard anyway? I still want to know what "overweight" means. Does it mean, "Gosh, my thighs are bigger than Nicole Kidman's?" or "I gained a pound over the weekend eating a lima bean!"
How much "overweight" is overweight?

"Why is that?" Contemporary aesthetics, mostly. I'm sure they've got great personalities...
To: beavus
83 percent said they suffered from deep "self-loathing". Some 91 percent felt depressed and 79 percent said they felt "utter despair. They really should just learn to count their blessings. For instance, unlike the tiny gals, those with a generously proportioned hind quarter don't need to concern themselves with whether the toilet seat is up or down.

Has anyone here met an English woman who was happy?

I'm sure they've got great personalities... LOL. You might think it is a congenital preference for healthy appearances. But, I keep hearing that previous centuries had a fuller-figured woman as the ideal. Whatever that means.

It's just easier to blame everyone else and be part of one's own little victimized group.Yeah, nothing easier than blaming others (i.e. blaming the "celebrity culture") rather than changing the things we can change. It's human nature.

It usually meant they weren't dying from one or more of several thousand diseases that had no cure at the time.

So somebody rings you up and says, "I'm with the
National Slimming Survey, and I've been told you're overweight. Are you happy about being fat?"
I mean, really.

Only 1 percent of overweight women in a British survey said they are happy with their shape, blaming the celebrity culture for their attitude. I have come to the conclusion that much of "celebrity culture" is the result of women's preoccupation with their appearance (read: vanity, which cuts both ways), rather than the other way around. Blaming the media (or men, or the fashion industry, or what have you) is easier than adjusting one's hormone-driven attitudes.

Has anyone here met an English woman who was happy?Julie Andrews always seemed pretty chipper... so does... uhm... okay, no one else comes to mind.
