*nods* Obviously I want my friends to be confident, happy, and whatever size they want to be, and for some of them programs like this seem to work, and I'm happy for them.
I know damn well they wouldn't work for me, though. When faced with any group saying 'Do this and you can be like us' my knee-jerk reaction is 'Nuts to that'.
I can vividly remember being nineteen or so and sitting on a bus, and seeing my reflection in the window and thinking 'Hey, it wouldn't launch a thousand ships, but I'm okay with that. It's a good strong face, and it's mine.' It's something I use as a touchstone when I'm having a bad day.
Though, for the record, on the one photograph I remember seeing of you you looked very attractive.
