I was sitting on the toilet in my Zebra and Buddha filled bathroom, when I glanced at my bamboo basket filled with old fashion magazines. And lo and behold, there was Ms. Keira Knightley smiling at me. And you know what she said to me?

She said, “Girl, I am HUNGRY!!!!”

“Girl,”I says to her, “ME TOO!!!”

“But, unlike you, Lucresia, I have an image to uphold. Karl Lagerfeld don’t make fat clothes for Chanel, and I wouldn’t feel right if only two knobs of my twenty-four knobs of my spine showed,” she said in that distinct accent of hers.

“But, unlike you, Ms. Knightley, I have enough fat on me to lay low on food for a long long time. Did I mention a long time!” I said back to her. “And, I too, have an image to uphold-as a regular woman. And Karl Lagerfeld may not make clothes for fat people, but, honey I guarantee you, that I can get an exact replica of that there Chanel jacket for $19.99 down in Little Portugal, where they have serious tailors that make a good cut. There may be some tiny flaws, but given the recession and forwad CC logo, it is definitely a bargain!”

“But, back up,  Ms.Knightley how did you know my name???”

Anyhoo.

I am still smoking.

Smoking and working out on a treadmill.

It is a fine line between smoking, working out and trying to eat healthy.
A very fine line.

And I know this.

As you all know I just came back from the land of the skinnies and the continuous Botox-Hollywood. I thought I would feel uncomfortable in the land of size zeros, but I actually feel quite good about myself.

A little denial can go a long way.

The funniest thing though, there were a lot of people in L.A. that were at a normal healthy size. I saw plenty of larger girls getting their puss on and relishing in it! The one thing that I noticed all around were how coiffed everyone was!

Loving it!

I NOW know there are a bunch of yaks and bald Thai women running around on the other side of the world.

This just goes to show you that the “powers that be” really do dictate all that we see in the media.It all comes down to self-acceptance, which sounds so cliché, but it is true! I am trying so hard to keep with this life change, and with another seven pounds lost , it feels quite liberating!
