The Beauty Myth

The Beauty Myth is a nonfiction book by Naomi Wolf which argues that as women have become more powerful in society the standards of physical appearance have also grown.

Wolf believes that "beauty" is a societal construct:

"The more legal and material hindrances women have broken through, the more strictly and heavily and cruelly images of female beauty have come to weigh upon us... during the past decade, women breached the power structure; meanwhile, eating disorders rose exponentially and cosmetic surgery became the fastest-growing specialty... pornography became the main media category, ahead of legitimate films and records combined, and thirty-three thousand American women told researchers that they would rather lose ten to fifteen pounds than achieve any other goal...More women have more money and power and scope and legal recognition than we have ever had before; but in terms of how we feel about ourselves physically, we may actually be worse off than our unliberated grandmothers."

10% YAS!!!

So today is the last day of my old plan as I have left my WWer meeting and have decided just to do the plan myself using the online tools. So I decided to weigh myself today on my wii and use that as my starting point.

I have apparently lost a half pound :)) woohoo!

This takes me to my 10%. Which means I have lost 10% of my starting body weight :)) Its a great motivator and tomorrow is going to be the start of the next chapter of my weight loss journey. My targets are the same, I want to be at goal for my 26th birthday and wear a size 12 dress :))

Will keep you  in the loop as always!
