Olympics

How twisted is it that because I am so used to looking at wafer-thin models and actresses and other quasi-celebrity types that when I am watching the Olympics and seeing normal, healthy-looking women athletes doing what they've trained for years to do, in the back of my mind I'm thinking "Boy, is she a big girl"?

That is twisted- but really what were you watching?? It must not have been swimming, diving, track, tennis, volleyball...
Did you see those weight lifters though? Seriously. I think the woman from the Ukraine was bigger than my husband. (probably stronger than he is too though!)

I completely understand. I've started catching myself judging other people the same way I judge myself--very harshly, and based on the images of "perfection" that are always being perpetuated.
