PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

I know there are all kinds of models---even senior citizen-models doing print ads for drug companies---but Christie made it clear she wants to be a fashion model. There are very specific physical requirements, which include, but are not limited to, being in shape AND having certain proportions. (SeasonedRefinement has given us an excellent birds-eye view of what is required in the modeling industry.) Don't forget, it is not enough for Christie to be considered "passable" in an average-woman-on-the-street sort of way. Her aspirations of "supermodel" (on her vision board) are begging us to compare her with Heidi Klum, Giselle, Kate Moss, Shalom, Amber Valletta, etc...and the mere thought is comical.
Good for Christie that she is exercising. But I hope her motivation is health/personal improvement, rather than the delusion that it will magically make her model material. Otherwise she is bound to eventually give up on fitness when she realizes it doesn't make you physically perfect.
Also, I'm kind of confused by Rhonda's advice to Christie...that exercise alone can get rid of excess skin and "flabbiness" resulting from gastric bypass surgery, and transform Christie into the ultimate "hard body". They have had GBS experts on the show with Sommer last season, so I know Rhonda is aware what she is telling Christie is not true.
