After watching the first part of this show and reading the rediculous postings here I feel I needed to toot my own horn and bring it back to earth. As a woman I do want to look my best for my husband - I want him to see me as beautiful, gorgeous, desirable. But I refuse to be a wife who has to maintain a "status quo" in order to be loved and wanted. I am not going to allow myself to be used as a trophy or a punching bag. We are all looking for unconditional love - the sad thing is that we never look for it in the right places. True love is unconditional and cannot have stipulations. We all need to get our eyes off the "I want you to look like..." and see people for who they are and what they can offer outside of physical looks. Looks fade even if you work on looking good. Eating the right foods, exercise, and true joy in life help to keep us feeling and looking young, but I refuse to spend my life trying to reach a standard that I had no part in setting. My worth comes from what I have to offer - not what I look like. If someone doesn't have respect for me as a person based on my looks, I know that I am a better person than they are - your worth is not baseed on how flat your stomach is or how "hot" you look. It comes from who you are not what you look like. We need to change the degree that we look at the physical and focus more on what trully matters in this life.
