There is a particular machine in almost every gym in America that is an absolute killer. It's designed to tighten up the abdominal muscles. Every day for two weeks, a cousin of mine fought that thing, and she was suffering. Why? She was going to the Caribbean on vacation and she had to take an extra inch off her waist. I thought she looked great, but that extra inch became an obsession for her.
Men are largely immune to women's fashions and trends and are less susceptible to fat phobia, which sends women off on torturous diet routines that are questionable at best, actually dangerous to their health at worst. Keeping a few pounds off is fine, but anorexia is not sexy.
The media has sold women a bill of goods that promise to make them skinny and be the center of attraction in men's eyes. In honesty, there are a lot of men out there who like women with fat on them - not just pleasingly plump, but fat.
Obviously, you have to decide to what's best for your own health. There are risks in being overweight; I'm not recommending obesity. But sanity dictates some retreat from the Madison Avenue image of women.
I've seen an audience applaud when a woman stood up and announced that she had lost 95 pounds. The audience acted as if she won the Nobel Peace Prize. The suggestion seems to be that fat is inferior, that if you're not skinny you're a second class citizen. If a svelte waistline is so important, why do the legal bordellos in Nevada always feature at least one, and usually more, Rubenesque woman? That old-fashioned look is definitely out, and has been for decades, yet those who practice the world's oldest profession don't seem to care.
