What pisses me off is when people assume because I'm small, that I'm not capable of certain things. I'm fully aware of my limitations..but one day at work i was trying to move a box and one of the guys actually pushed me out of the way and said "let the men do it". That's the kind of shit that pisses me off. I had to lift as much weight as they did to get this fucking job and if I need help, I'll ask. I don't starve myself, I'm just petite. I can't help it. All I know is it's a pain in the ass to find pants that fit around my hips and don't drag on the floor. But anyways...I try not to pay too much attention to the media. They either critisize for being too thin, or critisize for being too fat. Then they wonder why the percentage of people with eating disorders is so high. There needs to be more people that teach young girls how to appreciate the body they were given. There's things I don't like about the way I look..but I've given up caring, and just concentrate on what I do like about my body.
You know you could do a whole Pscyhology thesis using the show American Idol as reference. Mandisa was critisized for being big, Taylor Hicks because he's completely gray at 29, Elliot Yamin has an awesome voice..but doesnt have the 'hollywood' look. Yet with all that..I'm still drawn to the show like a fucking train wreck. LoL.
