hmmm I found this so interesting to read and take in your view of the story. I read it last night and I have to say while I didn't see it as a story promoting the idea that to love yourself you have to be skinny...I can see how thats sort of the message you got.
I come from a family where being twenty pounds overwieght is DEATH...let alone 100 or more like in the story. So reading this story was like having my grandma's voice chirping in my head the whole way through...yet I totally loved it. lol
so ya...I don't really know where I'm going with this hahahaha. Just that I totally appreciate hearing different views on stories I've read...it helps give me a different perspective on life :)
