I was recently watching the boob tube when a linty of diet programs came on.  I looked at the people giving their testimonials and thought, some of these people could stand to lose a few more pounds. When you hear people who have been successful on a diet say things like “I finally have a waistline now!” or “This is the first time I have seen my feet when I look down in I don’t know how long!”

That is not my idea of a goal weight. My idea of truly beating the battle of the budge is when someone is accidentally stabbed by my hip bone when I brush by them in a crowded room. Or when I am confident that even if my necklace breaks my almost exposed clavicle will catch it for me.  I would only declare victory if someone asked, “Did your eyes get bigger or do you look that way because your cheeks are so sunken in?”   When things like that start happening is when I eat a piece of celebratory cake and then quickly head for the ladies room. I always tell my friends that there is no need to buy into the multi-billion dollar diet industry with their shakes and pre-package food.   When my pants feel a little snug I immediately search for all the pro-anna websites I can find. These mixed up adolescent girls are the ninjas of dieting. Yes, they chew a lot of gum, smoke cigarettes and you can see through their teeth however there is not an ounce of fat on any of them.
