Off The Record!

I should be writing something scriptural, but forgive me. I will try to post something soon. I am just speaking off the record here.

What is the big deal about being skinny? Is it part of being "hot" or sexy? If it is, it is some kind of sick in my opinion.

As badly as I would like to lose a few pounds, I guess I am not in the "hot" or "sexy" generation. Thank goodness for that! Who started this "thin" business; you have to be thin to be accepted. Thank goodness, the Bible says nothing about thinness, but it does say that our bodies are the temple of God. I can't imagine that God would want us to look emaciated to get a man or a husband.

I am sure there a men out there who set this standard for the woman they chose to be their girlfriend or wife. If so, forgot about them! Be healthy, not sickly. There are many people in foreign countries that look emaciated and it is because they can't get food. Americans don't have that problem.

I had the worst experience today at Walmart's. Yes, I am one of those people who occasionally shop there.

I saw a very thin female teenager fall to the ground. There were two older adults with her. At first I thought she was sick because she just looked like she was not going to get up! Then I thought these people had kidnapped this girl and she was weak from them starving her, or maybe she was trying to draw attention to herself and get away this couple. The world is so sick with evil people, you don't know whether you should call for help or just stand there, like I did and look. After the girl got up, she put her arm around the woman like she was familiar with her, but what does that prove? Nothing, the woman could have told her to do that.

I am frightened for young people, the babies, the toddlers who get raped, and parents who don't love their children. You should be frightened also if you have children or teenagers. It is scary out here! Keep your children away from negative influences.

I did not know what to think. She was so frail, less than a size 1. It made me sick! Maybe she was anorexic. I didn't know what to think except that young girl is in trouble!

This obsession with being "thin" needs to stop. She is not the first person I saw this thin. I played tennis with a woman who was thin and claimed she couldn't gain weight. I saw another young woman in Dillard's who stopped to visit someone at the cosmetic counter, saying she just got back from some clinic where she had being treated because she was anorexic. I know an adult women who volunteered at a place where I had once worked; she ate lettuce for lunch all the time. Okay, people, Weight Watchers has a lot of people who have lost weight; there are better ways to be slimmer and healthier.

With Halloween around the corner, these ladies look as though they are part of it, like a skeleton. Now, I ask you, this cannot possibly be sexy or hot as I hear many people using these terms. It is downright disgusting!
