Bigger Is Better — Sheila Schwartz

Doesn't
personality count for anything? Bet you don't know
about the war that started in California, sort of a a
Beverly Hills rebellion. Well, one day my mom, Sharon
Long â€" you know, the glamorous movie star â€" decided
to declare war on flab. Only the flab in question
happened to be mine. What could I do but fight back?
I'd never liked fat-girl jokes and I was sick of being a
good sport about my weight. Besides, I really
enjoy food. Down with diets is my motto. Who
wants to be a bag of bones anyway? Surely
there's more to a person that her looks. If anybody
was going to win the battle of the bulge, it was
going to be me. Fat Power! Right on!
