'Tis the season to obsess about food

Thanksgiving yams, Chanukah latkes, Christmas cookies ... for me, they all add up to a holiday-size serving of self-hatred.

    Time management

    Nothing to add on the weight-obsession issue.

    Rather, the thing that struck me is Waldman's statement that "the only thing I can think of that consumes more of my day than fat-phobic freakouts is reading."

    Four children (plus their homework!) and she spends the majority of her day reading and freaking out?

    I'm not one to judge... but I do know what life is like with four children and I just find the way she is prioritizing her time.... sad.
