Rant...

Am I the only one who finds it so frustrating that many women tie in their weight to their self worth? Wanting to lose wieght so that they "Feel better about themselves" and things like feeling too overweight to start exercising or are reallly bothered by being bigger than the man who loves them as they are?

I mean, it's one thing to want to do it for health reasons (which would imply the method you use to lose weight should be a healthy one with healthy food...) or to lose the weight so you can do things like run around with your children or run a marathon for the fun of it.

But I find it so sad that so many women here still tie weight into self worth. What happened to "I am woman, hear me roar" Why is it "I"ll roar when I'm skinny like other people" (And don't even get me started on wanting to be like airbrushed models- have you seen the cellulite on mischa bartons butt? WORSE than mine...)

So often I've read that women percieve their ideal size to be about two sizes smaller than what a guy considers ideal. And I can't even begin to count the amount of guys who have said they get irrate with women who obsess over their weight. Does anyone else share my frustration?
