What would happen if everyone lost weight and were thin and beautiful? What if we all looked just the way we wanted to? Like Catherine Deneuve, Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron or Audrey Hepburn? Or Cary Grant, Brad Pitt or George Clooney?

Or would it be better, frankly, to be ourselves and look more like Rosie O’Donnell or Oliver Platt?

Would we be bored if we were perfect? Is being fat a thing to do?

I dunno. I’m not so concerned about looking like them as feeling like them. I’d like it if my job was to look as good as I could.

For those actor folks, maintaining their bodies is their livlihood. For me, I’m not so sure it matters. But I bet they feel pretty good. Maybe their days aren’t crammed with every mundane chore. I bet they don’t tuck into a chocolate sundae after work as a stress reliever. But who knows? Kirstie Alley did. And look what happened to her!

Is there a lesson in all of this?
