I have a problem with America. Everyone is obsessed with their own, and other peoples weight. Now people are even saying that Tyra Banks looks fat (and yes I have heard people I know say this also!) I think that Tyra Banks looks healthy and she looks like what a role model should look like, not like Kate Moss who looks way to skinny. Think about it, would you like your teenage daughter to look in a magazine and see someone who looks like Tyra or Kate Moss, and then base their life on how that person looks and strive to look like that person. I know that if I had a daughter I would not want them looking at most of the models today. Personally I think curvy women look better. If I were a man, or a lesbian I would definatly not want to hug someone and be afraid that the were going to break!
I like the way I look, sure I am not in as good of shape as I was in during high school but who wants to spend their free time trying to perfect their body. I would much rather spend time with friends, or read a good book. I can understand wanting to work out on occasion but I think many people today are taking to the extreme, same goes with food. I love food and I am going to eat what I want but I eat it moderation (most of the time!) I love to cook and bake but that doesn't mean that I am going to eat everything I make in one seating like some people like to think. Yes I have gained a few pounds, my butt (and boobs!) have gotten bigger but when I think about it I don't really care. I have been starting to think about starting to run again but it wasn't for me, it was so other people wouldn't look at me and say man she needs to work out, or when people hear how much I cook and bake they say, man you are going to have to start working out. I don't care that I don't weight 108-113 lbs like I did in high school. I have decided that untill I think I don't look good anymore I am not going to waste my life doing something that I really don't like to do like running.
I feel sorry for all of the girls in middle school and high school right now because they have to look at all of these models, actress, and singers and think, this is what I have to look like. I find it gross that people want to look like that. Even guys are having to look better now, everywhere I go I here guys talking about what part of their body they need to work on and now I here guys who look just fine to me watching what their eating and saying no to a cookie or pizza, or anything that taste good! I think it is good to eat healthy but I think it is good to not live your life hating what your eating.
Anyways I just wanted to say what I thought about people saying Tyra Banks is fat, I think that she is my role model now, she has come very far in her life and now she has to be critizied for gaining some weight. I hope some (hopefully everyone!) people get something out of this and realize that there is more to life then the way you look. Instead of working out everyday, watch a movie with someone. Instead of eating healthy every second of the day eat a whole batch of cookies in 3 days all by yourself!!

Not super skinny and proud of it!
