An aha moment

The other day driving in my car I had an aha moment. I have been thinking a lot about why this is a hot button issue for me... here is what I came to. (I know this is a small part of the reason. A lot has to do with me and my confidence and how I grew up)

I was sparked when someone forwarded me and e-mail about a diet that they thought worked great! You know the usuaal guarenteed 5 pound loss in two weeks! I was looking the diet over and some staples are saltin crackers and hot dogs... HOT DOGS.. do you know what are in hot dogs. This is another blog so I am not going to get into it but here is what I have to say about diets. Most of the time they are not about getting healthy. They are about dropping weight, whatever the cost to your actual health.

When people pass on a diet.. isn't that just a "polite" way of saying "I think you could loss a few pounds". Essentially calling the person fat. I know this is not every girl out there. There may be a lot of people that don't think twice about recieving a new diet e-mail. I also know that there are a lot of girls out there who are already stuggling with body image. And I don't think I am wrong in saying that weight is one of the biggest hot points.

I need to research more to see if it is just me thinking crazy. But this is what I have for now. And for all you diet passers out there. I don't want a diet. I never will. As a matter of fact I hate that word. Living healthy. Diet...ikhhn.;sdljvc;awu.. Living Healthy..much better (if that is what you are doing).
