The truth is that we love to eat all of the junk and buffets that are constantly being advertised and shoved down our throats but we don't want to be overweight-- especially when a woman who is a size 2 is being called FAT. (But I also believe that Jennifer Love Hewitt made that statement and a short while later was seen looking thinner and more toned).
I think the problem is that women get praise when they are stick-thin and yet our country keeps producing more unhealthy foods than healthy choices--which in turn aids the development of eating disorders. Everywhere we go we see ice cream, chocolate, burgers, fries, soda, chips..and the list goes on. Vending machines offer a variety of choices but my healthiest option? An Oats & Honey Nature's Valley Bar. My local grocery store has HALF an isle of organic and healthy options-- after that half-isle I have to start digging in through the rest of the store to find a few good options and then at check out, my 15 items cost the same or more as the lady next to me who's got a weeks worth of food.
It's sad but true. There's a lot of work that goes into being healthy and staying healthy.
Not everyone can afford this lifestyle, not everyone can pay a personal trainer, get an artificial tan every week, a gym membership, 5 different doctors, and 5 plastic surgeons like they do in Hollywood-- but some of us are trying our best to do it the healthy way.
