woman carrying a little extra weight. I am a body builder in top shape and i favor women with “meat on their bones”. Besides,

to a real man it is the personality that count. That is what you will still have in 25 years–how many of us (myself included) can expect to still have the same body as in our youth???

patricia arquette is an incredibly beautiful woman who portrays her character as a real woman! She has a lovely face, and a voluptuos build and I believe she would look quite beautiful in the nude.

Ladies, it is better to have a good heart and mind and be loving to your man. The rest(while we want you to be healty, just is not that big a deal–REALLY!

I thought it was a reasonable observation, but still..

that is t3h funny comment. :) :) :) Made me lol.

C-sections are not as common in Japan as in the U.S., I have read — although Princess Kiko will be having one. I think the lack of malpractice lawsuits makes doctors less apt to rush to recommend C-sections. And, despite the popularity of golf, doctors don’s seem to schedule birth during business hours as in the U.S.

Women in less urban areas seem to be fatter in Japan, but that’s the same as in the U.S.

I think Japan will eventually go the way of the U.S. There is a tipping point, that the U.S. passed years ago, where being fat just isn’t such a stigma, since everyone around you is fat, and the environment starts to adapt to fat people. Men can wear below-the-knees hip-hop fat guy shorts and sandals with a untucked-in shirt to a restaurant and not be stared at, so that not fitting in clothes the right way no longer functions as the shit!-I’m-fat! moment of truth.

Japan will eventually hit the tipping point, and obesity will spike.

Let us not forget that Patricia is a mere 5 ft 2 inches tall. if she gains of loses 5 lbs, it will certainly show, which is not the case for taller folks.

I love her stance on her weight, and it makes sense to me. Her character simply would not have the time or energy to be as health conscious as a single woman. Arquette’s character is a full time mom, wife, and psychic detective. I see her character as eating healthy, but also needed to eat fast for convenience. When you are married and in a loving, honest, and solid relationship, (not to mention have had 3 children), you tend to have a few more pounds than you would if you were single with no kids. That is the way thr world works.

What also should be mentioned is that Arquette is in NO WAY fat. Not at all. Even when she appears to be ‘thinner’ than she is for the show, she still have very womanly curves. Look at her all the way back to 1987 in her film work, she has always been small and curvy.

She is a real woman.

It is simply too bad people like Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, etc. are what all the magazines focus on.

Arquette has been in the spotlight since 1987, and is here to stay, curves and all. She is not famous for anything other than her talent and honesty, which can’t be said for many famous people in Hollywood. Her last name has not made her, she has made her own name.

I didn’t drink at all until I was 19, and was considered weird. But now I think that if you’re going to be stupid, you might as well get it over with when you’re young and don’t yet have university essays to write (etc). I can see that there’s a flaw in this plan, though, which is that some people don’t get over that stage…
