It works for JLo, if I had her butt I would be real happy. ;) That's the one thing I like about her, she apparently is happy with her body and doesn't allow the ptb to pressure her to starve herself to look like a skeleton with skin on.
I know several people like your coworker. It's sad what people do to themselves trying hit some magical number on a scale. Health means nothing to them. They are mentally ill.
I am reading a pretty good book by Deborah Low right now called: "The Quest for Peace, Love and a 24 Inch Waist". She addresses the problem with the constant dieting mindset and how we as women miss out on living our lives now chasing the perfect body.
Sounds like a good book. I believe it is a mental illness but I think it starts with low self-esteem. My co-worker hates makeup "this is me and this is how I look" but yet she cannot get fat or god forbid reach 95 lbs. She also works out three hours a day. Can you imagine? :(
Have a good day!
