'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.

    she won't accept accountability

    my arguement against her was that she choses to participate in utter gluttoney and then complains about it, blaming everyone else.

    ALL the control is in her OWN hands yet she refuses to acknowledge it. She blames genetics and others blame culture, but after a certain point, WE are respoinsible for our own choices. That is what I find grossly arrogant and selfish.

    SHE is old enough to know that she is in control of her own choices and to keep blaming the magazines or her hosts is immature.

    sure we all want to be pretty, but most of us accept responsibility for our own realities (my jeans are a little tight because I've been going easy on the exercise, not because my neighbors force fed me butter), and do not think our thinness is more important than the greater human condition.
