The beginning of january

I noticed a weight loss ad for a company today with the slogan "learn to love yourself" which I found disturbing.

I mean, are they saying being fat is just a visual indicator of how much you don't love yourself or something? :S

How about love yourself as you are and want to be, not how society deems you "should" be.

Ugh do you know what else annoys me, when people are on the News for losing weight and made out to be like some huge hero
Im sorry but thats great they lost weight and are happier now but how does that affect me or anyone else really, they're not heroes and they shouldnt be on the news when there are people like those in emergency services and stuff that could be recognised instead

haha sorry I know its probably a bit off topic but what you said reminded me

And I'm with you -- if someone wants to lose weight, I have no problem with that (though I don't necessarily want to be roped into cheerleading for it). But losing weight doesn't make a person more interesting!

I haven't noticed much in my direct environment actually, but I think I'm just starting to care less and less what the world thinks. Instead I find myself more motivated to eat even more after gaining weight during the holidays.
