10 years later....

That Oprah was scary. The point of the show was that these mothers have self-esteem issues and are transferring them to their daughters. There was also an anorexic mom who couldn't understand why her 4-year-old was obsessed with her weight. She would work out and only eat fruits and vegetables so she didn't get fat - a 4-year-old! The mom, who portions out exactly one cup of food for herself at each meal to ensure she doesn't overeat, would play a fat or skinny game in the car with the child. Hmmmm...I wonder why she is worried about her weight at age FOUR!

Closure would be good. Truth would be better.

That's my vote. I saw a report today and he is saying too much, too easily. Also, they said she had no drugs in her system but that is one of his claims. Too weird - I think it is phony. He may have killed some other girl. I still think her mom was involved.

That's about the age I stopped wearing it.

I would assume that is an occasional special event, not a lifestyle. I am OK with that.
