As I’ve said on MM this morn, and will say until the cows come home, it’s not about what size we are, it’s whether we are healthy or not. Right now, I have a very flabby tum and quite a bit extra on my hips (for me). My thighs are larger than what they have ever been. And although I could partly attribute it to having 3 boys, it’s also there because I got out of the habit of regular exercise, and I eat too much bad stuff (including so much choc cake over the past month for b’days, Xmas, NY!!!). And I’m tackling that now. The aim is to be healthy. Whatever size you are after that: that’s your size. Enjoy!!!

Great work!

The thing that saddens me most about this whole debarkle is that it is not the mature women I am most worried about. For the most part, we have heard it all before and know that we are responsible for how we look. It is young girls who will see Jennifer’s naturally svelte figure and jutting hip bones and aspire to that. What are we doing for tweens and teens to teach them that this is for the most part an unrealistic body image and that they should aim for good health through sensible eating and physical activity?
