Yesterday Radio Leeds picked up on the story that Women are really only Dieting to look good for other women

Well I think the statistics are right - I think that is precisely what a lot of women do - because we are brought up to believe that unless we are thin we won't be happy

I hate that notion as I think it is utter rubbish - we can be happy irrespective of body size and this is precisely where Fat being the New Black comes into play. We are only being made to believe that thin=happy as a statement of fashion - thin does not pay your mortgage off early any more than fat does, you won;t be any better off, you only believe you must be thin because the media are telling you so....
Onto the subject of health tho - and that may well be a different matter

What do you think - ?
