FOOD
wow . . . I think its important that we realize how serious this topic can be and how sometimes we dont even realize when somethings wrong. I have always had issues with food and my weight but Im just now realizing how involved you can be with it but not even realize it . . .

If Im with a group of people I will not eat unless someone else is, I judge how much I eat by what other people are eating and if I see someone eating less or healthier then me I automatically start bashing myself. Sound familiar?

But you know whats worse about this is that its not that bad, Its nothing compared to junior high when I was obsessive about it. Or one of my friends who made sure to exercise away EVERY calorie she consumed. So what is happening that we feel like eating is disgusting ? I know theres the media images of super skinny models. But what about the images where its telling us that eating is just not good if your a female. One specific example is a commercial from V8 juice a few years ago.

2 men walk into a convenience store and get nachos loaded with cheese as they are walking towards the counter they see a young attractive women with a juice they pretty much start to salivate until they realize that she is buying the same food as them then they seem shocked and dismayed

Or ice cream commercials where the girl playfully takes the guys ice cream cone and they both appear shocked that she would be enjoying such a calorie laden food

Why is it that for a female to EAT is considered so disgusting? Do we not have the need for food like everyone else? Its sad really sad . . .

There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow
Think I broke the wings off that little song bird
She's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now
Top of the world
