I mean, I'm kind of glad that people are doing the embrace your curves thing, because it's better for a girl's self-esteem than YOU MUST BE THINTHINTHIN is, but I think people striving to be healthy is better. Even if people can eat whatever they want and stay thin, they can still be rather unhealthy. Getting in shape and being healthier is my goal right now, as I want to be as healthy as possible while I'm stuck without health insurance.
I need to find this book by this guy who was on the news (I forget his name) about how it's possible to eat healthier on a limited budget, as not everyone can afford organic. It was a really interesting interview and I really need to find out what his name is...
Edit: It's In the Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto by Michael Pollan.

I have stretch marks on my thighs and knees. I've always been consistently skinny though. I figure it's because maybe I grew taller in such a short space of time or something.
Barmymoo:
The biggest problem I have with food is my mother. She has a really fast metabolism and does a lot of gardening and as a result is permanently hungry, and although she's constantly nagging me to do more exercise she has no qualms about offering and cooking me lots of food I don't need. Resisting it is hard, although today I managed to stick to not eating the enormous lunch she was about to cook on the grounds that I wasn't hungry and had only just eaten breakfast.
Other than cycling and swimming, what sort of one-person sport counts as cardio-whateveritwas? I guess running, I'm not fond of running alone but I guess the dog might like to come too. Anything more fun?
tania:
i usually just walk and run everywhere, which is pretty good as far as cardio goes. lately i've actually started skipping rope which is a fantastic workout. also, boxers do it so you don't gotta feel girly or nothing. just think of rocky.
Barmymoo:
SKIPPING man I love doing that, that's a brilliant idea.
:D
