	Now, who was it that said, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."?

	I for one, have gone out of my way to be myself for the last 7 
	years or so. I find that how 'I' feel about how I look makes a lot
	of difference. I have met a few people, who have expressed that
	they find me attractive. And who can handle more than a few? I mean
	REALISTICALLY. 
	I stopped wearing eye makeup (the only thing that I HAD used) when 
	I started wearing contacts. My eyes FEEL better with not having all
	that stuff get into them. Getting a little more sun makes one's skin
	look nicer than caking on chemicals.
	As for DIETING, (i hate the term) if people would only eat propperly,
	they wouldn't have to go onto these FAD DIETS you see and hear so
	much about. I have heard a lot of excuses from people I have known,
	as to their motives for over-eating. What it really comes down to,
	though, is education. So few people are propperly educated about
	nutrition. For example, my mother uses, 'having had a hysterectomy'
	as the reason she is now about 40 lbs over-weight. 'I' had the same
	surgery 2 years ago, but I was taking enzymes to help with digestion
	as well as a good balance of supplements and LOTS of C. I eat what I
	want, when I want and I will never have a weight problem.
	Now, if the fact that I don't shave my legs and still wear skirts is
	not the ACCEPTED thing to do...		Who gives a *&%$#.
