But, bottom line is that TOO much weight is just simply too much weight. Everyone should aim towards reaching and maintaining what is really and truly healthy for them. And aim for a modicum of fitness, besides. That is real beauty.

PJ I am sure (unless you are naturally thin as a rail) you know this is easier said than done. Weight and looks in general are such complicated and passion inspiring topics we could probably discuss abortion and get less heated comments. But as far as image and a singing career go....it is easier to have a career if you have what current Hollywood standards deem a "hot body" and that most likely has nothing to do with health or beauty, didn't Lily Langtree weigh 250 pounds? The men of her time LOVED her! Aside from weight....looks in general are important in artistic mediums in which the public will be "viewing" the work.....as in music with the advent of video and in visual performances like opera and any other forms of music which are meant to be viewed while they are performed...like concerts (not so 15 years ago) in art, and in theatre and film etc. What ever the socially excepted "ideal" of the time period is....THAT is what will sell the most tickets and the people who possess whatever quality is fashionable will be sought after. And the fact that the image is so available to everyone via TV, film, Video. computer etc...makes image that much more important. It wasn't that long ago that few people owned a TV, and computers and videos were science fiction. So as few as 50 years ago a physical "ideal" was still something much more subjective than it is now....your body and looks could still be pretty but perhaps very different from my body and looks. However I think now...we have a more homogenous idea of what "ideal" is It's more like "Mc-Ideal".
