***** the diet....Marilyn Monroe...

LOL ... no thanks! I'll stay natural, thanks. Skinnier would be nice, but I'll stick with my dark hair. I'd be a really phony looking blonde.

Years ago I was dating a Greek girl...she knicknamed herself Marilyn. She had a fetish....collected everything about Marilyn Monroe, and dyed her hair blonde, and even dressed like her.
I must admit tho....she did look a little weird with blonde hair and black eyebrows.....hee hee.

It's true, it's sad that everyone needs to feel like they have to lose weight to look good.

However, MOST teens and women in general agree that models are disgustingly thin. I think people now more look at celebrities, that are thin but still have some curves, as their models.
I wish I looked like them anyways!!

My main focus, especially now that I'm in college and learning all about health, is to be healthy!! I could lose about 10 to 20 pounds. I'm 5" 5' and 155 lbs. But my main focus is to eat healthier. I eat out nearly everyday and never eat veggies (unless its on a hamburger) and not enough fruit. And exercise more!

People should want to lose weight (if they are overweight) to better their health. Don't worry about the number on the scale! Do it for your long term health. Even thin people can be much more unhealthy than those with a little meat on their bones.

This.

I've let my weight get out of control and after an episode the other day that turned out to be nothing but really made me face the fact that it COULD have been something bad. I'm now on a diet. well not even really a diet I'm just tracking my food and keeping my calories, fat, carbs, protiens etc in the target range it needs to be to help me lose this weight and get back to a healthier size

I've done the "I want to be skinnier" method of dieting and I always fail but now that it's really about my HEALTH I am sticking with it. I have to.

A friend of ours is REALLY tall and REALLY skinny but his cholesterol is off the charts. It's all about being healthy and some of us need to learn that lesson the hard way

A size 8 is a very reasonable size. Not too skinny and not to fat. If you look at her, she is curvy but not stick thin. No wonder men loved that body. I mean really what is not to love? And with that incredibly beautiful face and thick hair. Yup I can see why men liked her and then the best part.
She opened her mouth and her IQ was as remarkable as her beauty.
Too bad she suffered from mental health.

Are you talking about Sarah Palin ???
I knew you'd eventually see it my way.

The mental health part yes, the other parts no.
