Worrying Conversation Overheard

Posted on Feb 7, 2007

Fresh from the DC Blogs Live Feed, Smash has a friend that has overheard quite a disturbing conversation. For those of you that hate to click on links, the gist of the overheard conversation between several 8-12 year old girls is about their weight, fat thighs and the horrors of trans fat and McDonalds food…..

I haven’t been blogging about it – and will not do so until I hit certain personal goals – but I am currently on a diet (something that is hopefully obvious from my Flickr photos). Now, I needed to do this – I was 40 pounds overweight and well into the obese category on the BMI scale – but 8-12 year old girls fresh from a swimming session should not have this kind of crap on their minds. No wonder we have eating disorders and the like if this is what pre-pubescence has become.

Depressing………I’ll try for something cheerier next time……
