I enjoyed the readings today. It was a nice switch from "Pink Think." However the one thing that set me off was in "Breaking the Model," where the author went as a 13 year old to modeling classes and was told she was too heavy at a size seven. I absolutely could not believe anyone in their right mind would tell a 13 year old they are fat!!! Who does that? No wonder the poor girl developed an eating disorder! I was so mad. I was completely flabbergasted at that point. I thank my lucky stars every day that I had positive female role models around me while I went through the tumultuous teenage years. They are hard enough without the pressures of someone telling me how fat I am when I'm barely a woman. I wish this author's mother could have put things in perspective for her. And whoever that agent was that told her she was fat should be kicked in the shins.
