Does My Butt Look Big in These Pants?

Perfection Not So Perfect: Surgery Overkill – Spencer Booted –

: How Far Will Heidi Go?

Okay, when I first saw the news about the scripted Hills reality show star, Heidi Montag’s 10 plastic surgeries on CNN, it took me awhile to process it. I mean I am in my 40s and always said, I wouldn’t mind a nip or tuck when I get older, but when your hot and 23? What the hell was she thinking? Really? Her husband Spencer Pratt told the press he didn’t think she needed it, her fans from what I read on the internet thought she was naturally beautiful before, so all I can think is there is some major insecurity going on. Athough, I am sure living with someone with that much anger and who picks on everyone else on Twitter has got to be a contributor to the insecurity as well. Can you imagine?

My own insecurities pale in comparison and maybe that’s why so many are following the story because it makes people feel better about themselves that when you work that hard to be perfect things start to go down hill instead of up. In fact, hubby’s anger has also got the best of him as well as a confirmation surfaces that he is now kicked off the show.

There is a lot of pressure to be perfect in society as a woman and in Hollywood I am sure it’s much worse. I just hate to see what happens when she gets older because I have met some people who have over did it with plastic surgery and they look nightmarish. And she wants to get more! Oh no. What do you think?

Ban on Swimsuit Competition

Have you seen the recent ban on the swimsuit competition that Katrina Hodge, aka Combat Barbie fought for?

I want to look as good as next girl in my swimsuit but I have always wondered what the purpose of the swimsuit competition in the beauty contests are all about. I mean aren’t the competitions meant for winning scholarships and represent their country or state? What does looking good in a bikini have to do with it? Oh right, must be to attract the men to turn the channel to it. That’s all I can see it is good for. What’s your opinion?

Woman Wants to Be 1000 Pounds???

zoearabella — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 20:57:58 +0000

OMG! As a mom, in my opinion, this woman is very irresponsible living an unhealthy life. I don’t understand that Donna Simpson from New Jersey who is already over 600 pounds wants to be 1000 so she can be in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Isn’t there another goal she can accomplish that won’t put her life in danger? She spends almost $800 a week on food for herself and makes some money on the internet where men can pay to watch her eat. Okay, I am just not going to say anymore because this is a road I just don’t want to go down even if I am just saying my opinion. Just take a look and see for yourself.

Oh no! Bathing Suit Season! Time to Lose Weight Fast!

zoearabella — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 22:54:14 +0000

I can’t believe the nice weather is here already. I was just getting comfortable with covering every inch of my body and now I have to take it all off again? I am now paralyzed in fear of having to wear my summer clothes again now that I don’t have an excuse of being pregnant and still covering myself during the warm season too.

I want to look like the hot mama I know I can be in a bathing suit. Is it really too much to ask to look good in a bathing suit and still be a mom?I know I can’t avoid doing some kind of exercise so bring it on! Here are a few I have found for busy moms.

How Easy are Easy Diet Plans?

zoearabella — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 21:13:56 +0000

I was talking to another mom at my son’s school who is also trying to lose weight and doing whatever she can to do it. “I signed up for some spin classes, aerobics and I am taking a supplement, as well as that Goji and some other things.”

“Holy cow” I thought. That is waaaay too much work form me. Although, I am losing weight trying out a supplement and losing weight by playing with my children. But they aren’t drastic changes and who is going to stick to drastic changes? We shall see how long she sticks to this plan. She also mentioned she has a treadmill at her house and added. “But I never use it.” she replied laughing.

How many drastic changes have you tried that didn’t stick and how many pieces of exercise equipment do have in your home now being used as a coat hanger? lol. I am currently trying something my sister gave me for fast safe weight loss after I did some research on the Internet. I will keep you posted.

Who Has Time for Exercise?

zoearabella — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 23:51:02 +0000

I think the biggest thing I have a hard time with is well, time. Especially time to exercise. I suppose running around after children is alot of exercise, I know it wears me out, but going to the gym, even if it fits into the budget, doesn’t fit into my daily routine with part time kindergarten, dance, soccer and swimming.

Not to mentions new baby check up appointments, hair cuts, dentists, ahhh, does it ever stop? I want to find ways to exercise at home, preferably at night once all the kids go to bed. Any suggestions?

What’s the Skinny with Being Skinny?

zoearabella — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 06:02:49 +0000

You’re too fat, you’re too thin. Geez, I wish people would make up their minds. Women are held to such high and restrictive standards and yet they are constantly changing. The general public just can’t seem to make up their minds whether it’s unflattering to be too skinny or too healthy.

What brings this to mind are the recent controversies with Tori Spelling and Jessica Simpson and their weight.

I really enjoy watching Tori and husband Dean on their reality show Tori & Dean Home Sweet Hollywood , they just seem like such down to earth people. And my hat off to Tori who took what could have been a paralyzing situation and created a beautiful life with her family. We should be celebrating the strong woman she is, but of course the tabloids are focused on her weight. People were abuzz over Tori Spelling being so skinny and razzing her at every turn saying she is anorexic.

Jessica Simpson has been bashed by others for gaining weight, saying she has lost her looks and has to wear mom jeans. Geez. What the hell are mom jeans? And why is a piece of unflattering clothing being associated with being a mom. As a mother myself I take high offense to that dig. And it also makes me a little paranoid to walk out the door, after reading all the nasty comments people made about her weight.

If anything, the reality of what Jessica had to deal with seems to have brought a down to earth maturity to her that didn’t seem to exist before when I saw her and ex Nick Lachey on their reality show a couple of times. She seemed like a spoiled brat.

Either way women seem to lose the battle of the bulge, it’s just not fair. What are we supposed to focus on? I say just focus on what makes us smile when we look in the mirror and do our best not to be held to others standards. The hardest part is not to watch television or look at a magazine. Avert your eyes when going through the grocery store checkout ladies because you’re going to be bombarded with what others “really” think of what women should look like. Yeah, right.

Does My Butt Look Big in These Jeans?

zoearabella — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 05:03:20 +0000

“Does my butt look big in these jeans? How about this outfit?” I can’t tell you how many times I have asked my husband that and of course, he just replies “No.” without even looking. Grrrr. As a woman I know I am not alone, but that just doesn’t help when I look in the mirror and don’t always like what I see. And now I am quickly approaching 40!

So, why am I talking to you about this? I am on a quest to lose weight and actually feel good about wearing a bathing suit this year after having my third baby last summer. I will be looking for any advice, tips and products to lose weight and turn back the hands of time without breaking the bank or going under the knife. Is it possible?
