49. I am 5'9 and weigh 195 -
yet when i went for a 'new doctor appointment' last year, i was told i am obsese and need to lose 70 lbs.

anyone have any idea what a 120 lb woman at 5'9 would look like ?
calista flockhart would be fat in comparison !!

the 'thinning industry' in this country really pisses me off !!

we are bombarded with media marketing of diet tips, ultra-thin women, sex tips, exercise equipment and slinky clothes ... interspersed with restaurant ads, food channels, and recipes for 'decadent desserts'.

hypocrisy, thy name is Marketing.
