Middle Aged Weight Obsession

There is an article on the oft annoying but sometimes useful diet blog about the weight obsessions of middle aged women. Here are my thoughts.
I'm not sure why anyone would find this surprising. I came of age in the mid 1970's. Even then there was pressure to be thin, which was not how I was built. The instant I developed hips, I also developed bulimia. I have gone through years of self hate before deciding that if someone doesn't looking at my stocky self, they can look somewhere else. I have too many other things going on to worry about being obsessively vain about my looks.
