Recently there have been a slew of articles posted by many JUers about women's body image and the media and now it's my turn to respond. I am 5`2, 122 lbs, a size eight...and sadly enough by Hollywood's standards, that is considered "plus sized." Why is this, one might ask? Well, women everywhere have trashy mags such as Cosmo and Glamour to thank. They post sickly
A true hero...to say the least. It's people like that who define patriotism.
angel-yeah the knot is very crappy...very flowery and candy coated!
Tex--haha...look for me...i'll be the blushing bride
If you love him set him free, if he comes back it was meant to be.
Here's the story: (names have been changed to keep the privacy of these people) I have this violin playing friend named Lars, who was dating this girl, Lucy for a good long while. Some of my other circle of friends really liked Lucy, others of us didn't. I personally thought that she was really prissy and arrogant and not good enough for Lars. I put up
This is an awesome article, Dharma! As hard as this is to admit, I have fallen victim to the media before. three years ago when I met my fiance, I was happy, in love, and eating a ton. I went from 130 to 156 lbs. Soon after that big weigh in, I read about the atkins diet and decided to try that. The weight rolled off. I counted every freakin carb that went into my mouth. I became sickly OBSESSED with the idea of losing weight. After 9 m
That's sweet to say tex, and I know I shouldn't generalize about people, but this guy was a royal ass.
Love the article Jill! As you know, I also commented on this poor excuse for prime time television. I am 5`2, 120 lbs, with brunette hair and glasses...how am i supposed to feel about myself?!
Thanks for all your great comments thus far!
texas~ That was a very touching story. I think I'm just going to chalk that guy up to being an arrogant asshole.
I guess I was so agitated with the whole situation I really lost my focus....This guy was selling himself as a poster child for the military and if he is a representation of who defending the country, then I truly am scared. Please tell me the military has not come to this!
before you read this post, know that two past generations of my family have fought their patriotic hearts out to serve this country and I am thankful for their gratitude and dedication to the armed forces. My fiance comes from a military background as well......his father served during the war with Korea. My friend (and florist for the wedding) Sarah de
great posts, eric!
CARIBBEAN queen now we're livin' the same dream our hearts can beat as one no more love on the run
if marriage is a bond between two people than wouldn't it go against your morals if that is what you believe?
and that is not for me.....
that sounds like very insightful advice
i never said homosexuality was "bad"....i have plenty of gay friends. people are people...
morally wrong to you obviously means something different than what is morally wrong to me.
Ok....it's my turn to be a points whore! help me out here!!! I have been too busy with schoolwork to write articles for over a week until now. Help me make it up in whatever way!!! Now it's also time to reveal who reads me and doesn't post... Whatever it takes I guess.... Thanks! <!-- Ju-Anchor-Footer-
Where did you get that God said being homosexual was "bad" the Bible? The bible also says that eating pork and getting a tattoo is bad too.
there are people that are gay for recreation and people that were born that way. There is no right or wrong sexual orientation. people are just people.
I agree with what is being said! I'd be decking the other person for touching my man. I'm pretty open minded, as most of you know, but that is just morally wrong.
Dharma--I'm exactly like you 5`2 on a lucky day and right around 120 these days...and I totally feel your pain!!! I can't ever find a brand that fits. The closest I've come to are the pants at the gap...I usually get a size 8 ankle..but since you usually wear a 5 p, you might want to try a 4 ankle or a 6 ankle.
