Confessions of a Facebook addict

Today I did what most self-respecting Facebook addicts do at 7:30am. I checked Facebook to see who had posted on my wall, updated their profiles, and what was new on mini feed. A Facebook friend of mine, who I happen to think is a pretty cool chick, had updated her "about me", so I scrolled her page and read one of the few genuinely interesting "about me" sections I have found to date. It was the last sentence that got me and wont let me go. "I am currently on a quest to whittle myself down to a certain desired weight. I'm getting there."(Two sentences if you want to be technical.) My heart sank. I was sad and angry. This perfectly healthy, active, beautiful woman was allowing the lie that she needed to be skinny to become her "quest." But what's more, is that she had the guts enough to put it on her Facebook wall, while I hid the same quest deep within my heart.
