Size 10's

I really really DON'T watch television... and here's ONE more reason why. I sat down on the couch next to my darling hubby (who was watching tv - but he always is...) and in the 30 minutes that I sat and talked with him, Jenny Craig played a certain commercial TWICE. I know ... lotsa folks do that. That's okay. But THIS commercial irked me... no RILED me... enough to get me up on this here soap box! The first words spoken in this commercial were... " In just two months I went from a size 10 to a 4! " Now, I am an XXXtra large woman -- and I KNOW I'm XXXtra large.... nobody has to tippy toe around me and tell me that I'm not all that big - dammit YES - I AM that big! But ya know what? Size 10 is NOT big! Size 10 is little! As a matter of fact, when I was 12 I had dreams of being a size 10! Because by 12 I was already a 16. And so are MANY of America's teenagers today. And they're healthy -- as was I! Buxom is what I was called -- and I was. I was 5'3'' tall and I weighed in at 150 lbs. I THOUGHT I was grossly overweight -- but that was long BEFORE I was grossly overweight! That Jenny Craig would put out an advertisement on National Television AIMED at size 10's and telling them that they are FAT is absolutely inexcusable to me! I cannot believe it! This is nothing short of CREATING a generation of anorexic little girls! This disgusts me! Jenny Craig -- wherever your sick little peon of a mind is -- I will BOYCOTT you and I will encourage everyone I KNOW to boycott you! Jenny Craig should be ashamed! *steps down from soap box now*
