mornings with kate moss

6:15am:
"wake up! go for a run! get up!"
"huh? what? do i have to?"
"yes! you are fat! get up!"
"i like being fat! besides whats the point? i am 30 and it is biologically okay to be fat at 30. i need to sleep! get off my back alright?"
"move your fat ass NOW!"
"shut up bitch! its just a bit of cellulite and its not all that bad, let me just sleep okay?"
"you are going to hate yourself in just one hour! just you see! grow 3 double chins and 3 more tires!"
"listen kate moss, get the hell out of here."
"i cant do that unless you run! somebody helllppp! get me out of here! i am trapped in this whale blubber balloon"
"let me break this to you gently... you are succumbing to the pressures of media, men, and all the stereotypical, highly regressive ways of thinking. cant you see?? these notions of sexy and hot and beautiful are male constructs that do us women in?!"
"uh huh? you have a waist of 32 and you can swap clothes with the husband... get that miss.beauvoir?
" (whimper)."

sigh... these are my morning conversations with my alter ego... somebody go and shoot all these flat stomached, gorgeous, pre-pubescent chicklets please and clear the air and let the jiggly-wigglies in??!
kate moss... go eat an ice-cream.

Hmm, very interesting conversation! I think all of us have to undergo this 'torture'. But it is a neccessary evil?? But listen to the voice at least sometimes. Dont you want to look beautiful... (to you only)? Dont you feel confident about yourself? Then obey the voice. Love - Pa

Having struggled for many years with trying to rise from the depths of my blankets in the pursuit of health through exercise, I had a real sense of deja vu as I read your internal monologue. Here's hoping that the Jordin Sparks of this world usher in a new paradigm of beauty.
