I do understand what you are saying. I know they are promoting their idea of a perfect body and most American's agree however, I still think it is up to their own doctors to comment on their weight.
"Not gonna lie; I kind of keep expecting you to post one day that you threw down on someone who clearly had no idea that today was NOT THEIR DAY." ~dontcallmeshirley
Yes! I just think it's important to not frame a size 12 as the complete other end of the spectrum, because the experiences at a size 12 are likely significantly different than a size 20.
::Sigh:: You are correct, it does have to be part of the conversation, but I hate that it does. As if not only is it a fucking competition to see whose body is more perfect, it's also a competition to see whose plight in life is harder. I hope I explain this right (glass of wine, does not make for the best writing skills) but it often seems to me as if because women are underprivileged class, that the create barriers of entry to make what is an excluded group an exclusive group. Whether it be fighting over dress size, or martyrdom. Off to go build a femi-nazi commune, stockpiled with mashed potatoes, cake, wine, and pop tarts.
I hate all the comments I got about being too thin, so I get where she's coming from. Except that there actually is such a thing as "too thin" and "too thin to be healthy." When people in the industry recoil from you in horror it's safe to say your body has crossed the line. That tells me she's not your average size 2 getting ridiculed for having no boobs. I had a boss ask me, as a grown woman, if my doctor had ever spoken to me about my weight because he thought I had an eating disorder. It was mortifying and I cried for days about it. I've never had an eating disorder and at that point in my late 20s I thought I had outgrown my awkward body phase. But as embarrassing as it was that comment did motivate me to be healthier. Hopefully this experience makes the model in the OP soul search too because I'm sure if she's too thin for high fashion runways she is legit too thin.
ETA: I also don't buy that no one's body should ever be commented on. Save that rule for people you actually know. She's in the public eye and her body sells products. She's fair game.
I found lemon meringue muddy buddies in the Easter section of target. They were kind of awesome and a little too much at the same time. But they're gone now. However, real lemon meringue pie is kind of gross, though I'd buy that there are good ones out there, just not what I've had. Cause really, people fuck up fruit pies a lot of the time too, making them all gloppy and over-sweet.
Also, if an obviously way over healthy weight fat person (celebrity, to keep it similar) said "I eat whatever I want and this is just what I look like, stop hating my body," people wouldn't just be like "cool then, as long as you aren't trying to look like that," like model seems to want us to think about her. They'd say "dude, 350 lbs isn't healthy for anyone, maybe you should do something differently."
Cupcakes! Who in their ever-fucking mind chooses carrots?
Man, it looks like I signed off to play Hearthstone at the right time.
Are they carrot cake cupcakes?
We've been watching Hearthstone youtube videos for months in this house and I'm still not sure I could play. You have my respect.
Blegh carrot cake. Chocolate cupcakes, with a chocolate ganache and some sea salt sprinkled on top. Additional peanut butter, cookie dough or brownie filling is optional.
As as far as Hearthstone, it's pretty simple once you sit down to play, basic mechanics are very similar to Magic: the Gathering, if you've played that you can handle Hearthstone.
I think most games look a little daunting while you watch them, board or computer/video. Once you sit down with it, it's not so bad.
I'm intrigued as to why you would be watching the videos for months but not playing? Playing is way more fun.

Because my husband watches gaming youtube videos like it's his job. But I find them interesting anyway. It's like watching a poker game. We watch people play Hearthstone, Arma, Grand Theft Auto, and some others that have slipped my mind.

You know, I WANT to like carrot cake. I really do. Frosting whore that I am, I still can't throw down with cream cheese icing. It's just...fine.
For all future threads related to what you know about any given poster, my memory of you is going to be your utterly irrational opinion on cream cheese frosting. Cream cheese frosting is what makes carrot cake. And any other cake on which it is spread. If I make a cake with cream cheese frosting, I always make a double recipe of the frosting. Because it doesn't get any better than cream cheese frosting.

Wait, what were we supposed to be talking about?
I do like that this is what I appear to be becoming infamous for. I'll have you know that I'm also meh on traditional buttercream (like, on wedding cakes).
Lots of icing is good--lots of chocolate icing is best.
You just never know what people are going to pick up on here! I'm just 'meh' on buttercream, too. I'll call a truce on chocolate being an acceptable alternative (though cream cheese is better).
Meringue texture is wrong and lemon not right. Do not like!
This is why when we get together I'll make you my gramma's secret lemon pie. No meringue, no pudding shit. Just lemon pie. It is phenomenal. And has a whole stick of butter, so you know it's not some skinny girl alteration.
I'll serve it with blackberry cabernet sorbet and something sparkly.

I think my only caveat on this is that when you're a teen you can look completely insanely skinny despite eating healthy. In our late 20s we can take such criticism and look at our eating habits. If we're teens, we really can look fucked up with no reason.

Pudding/custard, whatever. It's not my Gramma's lemon pie. Her pie has a whole lemon, sugar, butter, and a tiny bit of flour. That's it. And a delicious crisco crust. None of that meringue stuff.

That's how I know it. I will eat your meringue. Yum.
