i really really like my tan wool sweater. i think it is my most favourite of all my sweaters, all forty or so that i own. i also really like my light blue cordouroy pants, although they are much bigger on me than they were when i last wore them this spring, perhaps this is a good thing, or perhaps i am just conforming to this world. although i never intended to lose weight, so it's not really my fault.

why do we females always think that thinner is better anyways? why is it that the media can make us conform? why is it that we listen to this world? why don't we just do our own thing? i don't get us. we get mad at the world and at media and at people we don't know for giving us annorexia and then we do it to ourselves.

why do we often define ourselves by a number. 130. is that me? does that say who i am? do you get a mental picture of me when i say that number? am i too fat or am i too thin? why are you thinking of me only in terms of my body? it's just the package, it isn't who i am.
