It always makes me sad when people I used to admire make fun of people I currently admire.
Case # 1: Joan Rivers:
I used to think this woman was funny, amusing, the precursor to the lovely Kathy Griffin. But then she crossed the line. She made fun of Adele.
A woman who has gone through so much plastic surgery that she resembles more of a puppet than a real human being makes fun of a beautiful, talented, charismatic woman with a god-given ethereal voice?
Why yes, she did.
And so did Case # 2 Seth McFarlane...during the Oscars ceremony, in fact, when Adele was sitting RIGHT THERE.
And although I regret I cannot find a film clip of it, he said, and I quote:
"Rex Reed will be out here to review Adele's performance of '
Which was referencing this film review that Rex Reed did of Melissa McCarthy. Obviously, I was not the only one who caught this.
Seriously, I am so tired of this perception that society has as "fat" people and how they are unacceptable. Do you see the picture above? Is that not a gorgeous woman?
It also makes me think of Delta Burke, another gorgeous woman who was constantly ridiculed because of her size.
And Kirstie Alley.
And even Marilyn.
It's an old and tired topic to be sure, but one that I am still affected by, being an overweight gal myself.
I have been overweight all of my life; in fact, in 2001, I had gastric bypass surgery to help me overcome this. It didn't work. I'm still fat.
I am 41 years old, 5'1", 163 pounds (on a good day), and full of flab and self-loathing because I feel that I look like this:
When in my mind I should look like this:
And the most frustrating part is that as much as I tell myself that I want to be thin and in-shape for health reasons, I'm still trapped by that ideal image of a beautiful, wrinkle-free 25 year old that I aspire to be.
And why the age of 25 is stuck in my head as the ideal age is a mystery to me; obviously something for the therapist's couch.
I think my recent overdose of "Scrubs" and "Freaks And Geeks" has affected my:

I think I'd kill to be 163 pounds. I'm closer to 230. OK, so I'm a couple of inches taller than you, but YOU are what I'm aiming to be. Stop beating yourself up!
