What's crazy is how much positive reinforcement people get for losing weight in our society. I dropped about 10 pounds one time because of a health problem. I got so many people making positive comments to me about my appearance I was left thinking, 'first of all, just how bad did I look BEFORE' and 'for Pete's sake I've been SICK and people are applauding me for looking so GOOD (thin!)' I think we can blame the media, but ultimately we choose if we buy into or perpetuate its messages. It's amazing how much value we place on weight, which is such a waste of energy and time.
