I know SD is the land of thin, beautiful people (not as bad as LA, but there was a reason why everyone kept saying to me "don't get caught up in the hype or superficiality" when I decided to head to SD, away from my Northern California roots), but it's nice to see people out there who aren't just thin and beautiful (and pseudo hipster with a side of sufer chic) and who have something to say.
Enter Barbarelle who was a fat woman and is now: "As of today, I have lost 100 pounds. But I am far from skinny. I have plenty of padding left on my hips, butt, and thighs that I expect will steadily come off as I continue to eat right and exercise regularly."
Maybe all fat girls have the same story, I don't know, but I found myself thinking "isn't this how the story goes?" Fat girl realizes how fat she is, gives up, falls in love (doesn't believe it's love but here is a really good guy), fixes approach to life (in Carnie Wilson's case... gets internet broadcasting gastric bypass surgery).
Nice that articles can start to focus more on the quest for health rather than the quest for thin... when before you couldn't be skinny enough. (Enter Nicole Richie to challenge that assumption).
