Yayyyyyy!!!

Waif Wonderful??

I finally got around to watching the movie IN & OUT last night. It was humorous and I found myself laughing at most of the lines that were intended to be funny. There was a scene though where I gasped and thought 'oh my god'. I know I even said something to that effect out loud because mom shot a look at me like HUSH, I'm watching here. The idea behind IN & OUT is that this small town actor makes it big by being nominated for an Oscar. Low and behold, he wins and during his little speech of thanks, he lets it out that his favorite teacher in high school was gay. Little did the teacher himself know!

Anyway, I'm drifting off the subject. There's a scene where the actor fellow is accompanied by his babe. The babe is hardly a living skeleton, she's so thin. I couldn't imagine anyone being naturally that thin. What is with being so thin your bones almost rattle? I should probably mention at this point that I am naturally thin. When I graduated from high school I weighed 85lbs. Naturally. I couldn't gain weight if I tried, and I did because people kept wondering what disease I had. One woman, a friend of a friend, thought I was dying of leukemia. I looked like a rail. This girl didn't even look as fleshy as I did back then.

Then we have Delta Burke who starved and tortured herself for the supposed popular look you have to have to be a big time actress. She eventually lost her battle, thank god. I won't say I think that big is beautiful. It doesn't matter what I think. What matters is that finally, she's happy with how she looks and feels.

I'm never going to be tall. I'm probably never going to be 300lbs (though maybe with the help of Ben & Jerry, it might happen). Delta Burke isn't likely to get back down to a size 6 again. Does it matter? Not at all. The point is being happy with yourself in whatever package you happened to be blessed with.
