There are just so few FAT people here. It's SAD. Not that I want people to be unhealthily overweight or something but JEESH. And I WILL digress into the whole "If I'm slightly overweight people automatically assume that I'm pregnant because it's LA and why ELSE would you be slightly overweight?!" thing ONCE AGAIN.

THAT BEING SAID, most of our products are to lessen the effect that time has on your skin, and it's hard for sometimes for exactly the reasons that you listed. I don't care about aging skin... in fact, i welcome it. I think older women who have lived their life and are showing signs of it are BEAUTIFUL, and really, why would you want to erase that? But THAT BEING SAID... you tend to have fewer problems (acne and such) if you take care of your skin, and if you take care of your body. so... who knows. can you do it for yourself without getting caught up? I've lost about 15 pounds, and it's hard to not get caught up with the number, and oooo if i just could lose this belly I would look so HOTOTOTOTT. But I feel good. More energy. And that's what I am trying to focus on.<br><br>I hope that this made sense. I am not going to go back and read it all because it's too long. :)LarMarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06445689376080198394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343359472989586745.post-74865277815964081482009-10-30T16:17:50.567-04:002009-10-30T16:17:50.567-04:00Oh man, I feel the exact same way when I go to the...Oh man, I feel the exact same way when I go to the gym...there is just something that creeps into your mind that makes you feel not good enough.Kristenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11215393423989597346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343359472989586745.post-49551594719510456642009-11-01T21:50:37.636-05:002009-11-01T21:50:37.636-05:00Laur, I totally hear you- if you're doing all ...Laur, I totally hear you- if you're doing all this stuff for YOU then I'm all for it- it's the external nudges/obligation that I get bogged down by. it's definitely important (well to me, i guess) to take care of yourself for health/family/children's sake.Anna D.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343359472989586745.post-18023411924496248102009-11-04T09:17:39.426-05:002009-11-04T09:17:39.426-05:00Brava, love this post.

Or Anne Lamott and Mary Kaar both have new books coming out.
