So True!

I was reading an article in a magazine and I thought the beginning of the article so perfectly articulated the 11 seconds I experience when looking at a celebrity magazine, too. So here's the blurb:

"Last week I picked up a celebrity magazine, and there was a photo of a radiant Reese Witherspoon, in a white T-shirt and flouncy skirt, with her new husband. Within the space of 11 seconds, I had the following thoughts:

'Aww, she looks happy.
But also a little dumpy. Has she stopped jogging? I know she's a jogger.
Maybe it's the boxy T-shirt; she's short and it doesn't do anything for her. No one looks good in those. And she's had two kids. Girlfriend deserves a little slack.
God, I'm so judgy! So she's not skinny. Kudos to her for apparently not being obsessed with her body. Go, Reese! Attaway to be a role model.
But yeah, I've seen her look thinner. I'll bet she's ordering in Chinese with her hubby and blobbing out on the couch.'"

Has she been in my head? Does any of this internal dialogue sound familiar to you, too?!

I would stop exercising too if I got hit by a car while on a jog. Actually now that Borders is closed and the "math book" is retired, I rarely look at magazines. But when I do I'm only looking for Russell Crowe-related material. Everything else is a blur. A complete blur.
