A little belated but well worth the wait :)
I won my very first blog contest and the best part...the prize was COOKIES!!!!! And delicious ones at that. They were so beautiful, it made it difficult to bite into them.
The lovely Marie from Blushing and Sweet surprised me on Friday by coming over to my work to hand me my winnings. What a doll! I can't thank you enough for indulging my sweet tooth.
A great big thank you as well to the girls from L&V Sweets for these mouthwatering cookies :)

I just heard about a fellow Canadian, model Coco Rocha (pictured above) being too fat for runway. Her measurments are 32-24-34, 5'10", size 4...too fat are you kidding me? The current sample size for runways is a 0.
Last time I checked my measurments were 32-25-36, 107lbs, size 2 and I'm 5'4". People tell me I'm too skinny and I'm trying my best to consume as much protein as possible to gain some weight. So can you imagine what a 5'10" woman looks like as a size 0? I understand that runway models are supposed to be considered "walking hangers" to put the focus on the clothing and not the person but this is ridiculous. It's a wonder why so many people out there have eating disorders!!

Eating disorders:

• Anorexia nervosa, in which you become too thin but you don't eat enough because you think you are fat.
• Bulimia nervosa, involving periods of overeating followed by purging, sometimes through self-induced vomiting or using laxatives.
• Binge-eating, which is out-of-control eating.

Here are just a few statistics:

• 1 in 5 woman suffer from an eating disorder
• 70 million individuals are affected by eating disorders worldwide, with 24 million being American (10-15 % are male)
• Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness
• 90% of women with eating disorders are between the ages of 12 and 25
• Without treatment up to 20% of those with serious eating disorders will die

A few celebrities who have suffered from an eating disorder:

• Paula Abdul
• Karen Carpenter
• Jane Fonda
• Tracey Gold
• Elton John
• Jamie Lynn-Sigler
• Princess Diana
• Alanis Morissette 
• Ashlee Simpson
• Calista Flockhart
• Fiona Apple
• Geri Halliwell
• Kate Beckinsale
• Kate Winslet
• Mary-Kate Olsen
• Victoria Beckham
