Viewpoint

A quote caught my attention a few months ago but I never googled it or thought about pursuing it as a writing topic. I'm addicted to "US Weekly" and one day I saw the following quote by Kate Moss: "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels". This was located on the page filled with random quotes from Hollywood's most famous. I read it and thought "That's not my motto!". I instantly thought of ten things that I enjoy way better than fitting into those jeans (my first pair of 7's from sophomore year in college) that are neatly tucked in the back of my closet.
                               1. Dr. Pepper
                               2. Pizza from Mellow Mushroom
                               3. Spaghetti
                               4. Chicken & Shrimp combo from Kobe
                               5. Backdown Roll from Chuck's fish
                               6. Fried Mozzarella sticks
                               7. Velvetea Macaroni & Cheese
                               8. Filet from Ruth's Chris
                               9. #1 from Chick-fil-a
                              10. Bloomin' Onion from Outback

This quote stuck with me and I found myself referring to it at random times throughout the last few months. Thankfully, big girl here loves to eat and an eating disorder would be torture that I could Never put myself thru. But girls do it, seriously.. they turn themselves into wanna be pencil thin versions of their jr. high bodies. I can't stand it. Quotes like this make me so ill. I googled it, and guess what. Kate Moss has caught A LOT of heat for this. I'm not here to judge her --maybe she followed it up with a joke, maybe she laughed it off but she said it and that's enough to cause people to constantly question what they eat. She's a beautiful model that some girls out there probably want to be like. I just hope they don't let her motto become their own. 


Okay, stepping off the soap box now. I hope you all have a fabulous Wednesday... just 3 more workdays until the  weekend rolls around!
