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."

Oh Boy

Ugh!!

It's February! FEBRUARY!! And I am exactly the same weight I was when I started trying to lose weight like 5,000 years ago!

UGH!!!!

I've just ordered a dominoes as well.....UGH!!!!

I'm 5 weeks off the cigarettes. Which is amazing. I do feel fitter and healthier for sure. I can breath better, I have more energy, less gunk, and I am less grumpy.

But diet and exercise regime....gone to pot. I've not blogged, not tracked, not cared... not like me.

January was a tough tough month, but I am continuing to expand at a ridiculous rate!

Must do better. Do I have a plan...nope!

UGH!
