My hips and thighs, resilient little bastards that they were, still stuck around. We want our baaaagelllls they used to moan in the nighttime. You’re not a Victoria’s Secret Model give us our creammm cheeeseee. Not yet! I’d say. According to this thinspo blog I’m reading, if I eat only tubes of air and frozen grapes for another 36 years, I will have the Photoshopped body of Adriana Lima on the cover of Photoshop: Things Photoshop Can Do! I simply refused to believe that my ‘body type’ was the reason I had hips, it was simply my inability to only eat Lean Cuisine and Splenda all day, every day.
