I need to start a club...a couple of girls and I decided that women are WAY too hard on themselves. We all want to lose anywhere between 10-20 pounds and look like very sexy moms. Kinda like the desperate housewives. We all want our skin to be flawless and smooth, and peaches and cream.... or maybe kinda like cappucino in the summer (but we don't want wrinkles either!) We want to glow and smell nice all the time. All of this to impress, not our husbands or any other male out there...oh no...we want to impress our friends...even better...our enemies!!! So we decided, a couple of girls and I, that we needed a "gosh darnit I look good and people like me" club. It's past time that we accept ourselves for who and what we are! We need to learn to love ourselves in any shape and size, and strive for overall well being rather than "the look". We would meet once a month and tell each other how great we look - and that if we were any thinner we'd age at least a decade, which wouldn't be good at all. Then we'd share some great gossip (where that would come from I don't know-not my life to be sure!) and eat lots of dessert. Moxie's white chocolate brownie comes to mind, followed by a brown cow (drink-not animal).

We all agreed that this would be a wonderful club and wildly popular amongst regular women who had jobs and families and couldn't spend 5 hours a day at the gym or hire a cook. So we nodded and laughed and smiled and went our seperate ways...with me (and I'd bet my cheesecake at least 2 others) muttering under my breath, "...but I've still gotta shake at least 10 pounds..."
