Plastic Surgery

Has anyone read this article?

I would never ever say that celebrities shouldnt get plastic surgery or that they are bad people for lying about it, their bodies are their work and their paycheck, but this article makes a really good point of how it makes women feel like failures when they see these perfect bodies and think that can be acheived if they just work hard enough.  Then that leads them to believe, when they are in fact working very hard, that they're still not working hard enough.  Sure if I dont exercise and I eat anything I want I cant expect a perfect body.  But what about when I do everything right, I lose weight and feel great and am in great health, and my body still has that bulge here or a sag there?  With age, childbearing, and weight losses and gains, our bodies go through a lot of changes and its impossible to go exactly back.  Now i can understand that but I hate to think that my husband sees pictures of these women who bounce back in a few weeks to a perfect body after kids and believe that its solely from a little exercise.  Will he think im a failure or lazy when that doesnt happen for me, even if I work my @$$ off?  Now I know my husband loves me, and will no matter what, but these things go through my head (and many others I assume) because we are told thats all it takes when we see these great bodies.  Im not saying celebs should let their bodies go, heck no!  but would it be so bad for them to be honest so that the rest of us can have a realistic perspective?

Thats my rant    My diet and exercise are still going so so.  Well my diet is in the crapper and my exercise is doing well so I guess that evens out to so so.  The madness of Thanksgiving week is over so Ive got a few good weeks of exercise and some practice in controlling eatting habits before the Christmas maddness starts, eattingwise anyway, the Christmas maddness in general has already begun!

i agree with you- i think anyone has the right to go under for looks, but i dont think that they should lie about it... that is a horrible thing to do!

Yes

You still have time to get it under wraps before the end of the year.  Don't give up. Don't wait!  You'll thank yourself.  Glad you're still keeping up with the exercise!
