There is a difference between being FIT and FAT.
I am FAT.
But I am FIT.
I box twice a week; and ride my bike 10 miles three times week.
I have fabulous blood pressure and cholesterol. I can lift more than my husband. I can carry my bike/heavy bags/whatever up the two-story high stairs to the 7 train. I was able to lift my dining room table leaf to the top of my airmoire, six and a half feet up.
I love to walk. I rarely drive.
I get my eight servings of fruit and veggies in every day. I rarely eat red meat. I stay way from artificial sweetners.
I can go and on.
But a FAT person can be FIT. I'm 227 pounds. But I can kick the ass of skinny binge-drinker/smoker/unhealthy eater any day of the week.

I mean, I'm not terribly fond of my cellulite or my stretch marks, but I really like my freckles. I mapped their constellations over my arms and legs when I was a kid. There's the isosceles triangle on my right arm, and the waves on my left arm and this trapezoid on my left leg. I feel like if anyone ever photoshopped them out of a picture of me it'd be like photoshopping me to be bald, or not have fingernails or something.
Am I weird, or is it the magazines?

Then again, I also kinda like scars too. They make a person unique.

And I love every last one of them. I once tried to count every freckle in a square inch of his skin -- and it was impossible.

She needs tog to away.

I know this is about whether or not her body was retouched in a fitness magazine; I don't want to threadjack and talk about how woo-based cuckoo bananas she is. But she's a credulous idiot trumpeting very, very bad shit to the masses, and then people believe her. So I don't sympathize with her a lot for agreeing to appear on a magazine cover and then complaining about the bits they retouched.

Without her sense of humor, she's just another Playboy-pretty face.

If she actually admitted that, good for her. But if it was while she was pregnant and Shape is trying to make it seem like OMG what is with all these women who are so fat right before they push a kid out of their vagina, then they can bite me.

see, she had an ex-boyfriend who wanted her to get implants, so she flew to arizona and she got them, and then she got in playboy, and then she got mtv's singled out, and those implants kinda started her career, so jenny mccarthy pulling the "don't get implants like i did" really only means "don't get implants just because your boyfriend wants you to get them...get them because YOU want to get them and you can have a career like mine".
